Visiting Hell

Today I went to my old work place to visit friends.  It feels like I have been gone forever.  Walking in and seeing all the cubicles did not put me in my happy place.  Feels like a lifetime ago.  Seriously!  It has been two months and feels so much longer.  Anyway, I had to run some errands in the city.  Figured if I was going to drive by the old place, I should stop and see my friends.  Glad I did.  I do miss so many people.  The timing was bad.  I got there at lunch and missed talking to some key people.  Bummer!
Here is what is great about these people.  Well, one of the many things.  They are so happy about what I am doing.  They celebrate my successes.  They want to visit and share my excitement.  That is a great thing.  Proves I have good people around me.  If by around I mean 60 miles away and I do.  Some of my family have less interest than my friends.  A short visit with that group of people energized me.  They make me feel so good about my new life.  Thanks!  You guys rock!! 
I bought another small shelf to organize my backroom.  My backroom is very small.  I am trying to stock pile some inventory for the town festival.  I think I finally have it figured out.  Not completely done.  Need some help putting up a cabinet on the wall.  Beyond my skill level.  At least I have all the candy up on shelves so everything is easy to find.  I want it neat.  Hard to do in such a small space.  Getting there slowly.
Trying to find the right hours to have my shop open is a puzzle.  Most of the downtown is closed on Monday.  The only thing open is bars and the flower store.  Maybe a couple of offices.  I think people expect that I will be closed on Monday.  I will give it a couple of more weeks.  If I do not get more business, I will probably either close earlier or not be open.  Saturday business dies at 1:00.  I am open until 2:00.  Pee Wee football might have something to do with that.  Time will tell.  As long as I am not paying help, does not matter.  I can find things to do while I am there.  Not an issue right now. 
School starts Wednesday.  Could be a slow week for me.  Still trying to pull some morning coffee drinkers in.  Fingers crossed it happens this week.
