We've been so busy with getting the store into shape for sell-down, I've hardly had room/time to think at all. I'm really grateful that I did drop out of LJ Idol this time. I don't think I would have been able to handle that stress on top of everything else. DH and I are snapping at each other, I suspect the stress is getting to both of us. Add to that the lack of customers (at least yesterday) - I had three people through the door, only one purchased anything, and that was under $10. Not exactly a stellar day, although I did get a lot of busy-work done.
DH decided he wanted to clear some sales bins from the back of our leather/hides area. Great ... except we really don't have any space in which to put them or their contents. *sigh* He wants to tackle our "Wall of Shredding" - apparently he needs to double-check some boxes that were put there early - meaning they're at the bottom of the pile, and close to the back. The pile is at least 4-5 boxes high, and more than 3 rows deep,. so a lot of digging for him to find whatever he's looking for. *sigh* You'd think he would have thought about these boxes two-three years ago! But no ... he has to go on a tear to get to them now. *sigh*

It's always a good day when I can start it out with a swim under the rising sun. |
I can work out some of my frustrations in the pool today. I'm totally in favor of that because I really need to de-stress a bit, and swimming is a great way to do just that. The weather should be great - not too cold, and not overly hot. I'm already looking forward to it.
And then, there are the floods in Texas. OMG - what can be said about something so horrible and destructive. I've been on the outskirts of several floods in Colorado over the years, and they're so frightening. The power of water ... it's amazing and awe-inspiring. But all of those kids drowned ... tragedy doesn't begin to describe it. My heart bleeds for those families who have lost a loved one to the waters.

It's always good to look at what you did during your day that helped someone else in some way. You can make a real difference one person at a time. |
Have an excellent Tuesday, I'm off to the pool. Be kind, say positive things, and try to make the world a bit better because you're sharing it with the people you're interacting with. I'll be back tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
