It's Monday - A Very Busy Day Ahead Filled With Arguments, I'm Sure

I'm supposed to be on my treadmill right now, but obviously, am not. I'm stressed (of course - that's a natural course of events for me these days), and I'm also scheduled for a phone conversation with Travis early this morning at the shop. It's a 15 minute conversation, and as I recall, he's extremely prompt and time conscious, which will be great for keeping on schedule, and not so great with inserting additional questions. The more I concentrate on getting the store closed and the stock sold, the more it's apparent to me that we simply CAN'T make this happen in our current location and that we HAVE to move everything to a secondary location. DH is adamantly against this, thinking we can do fine in our current space. He's so wrong, and I can't get through that thick German/Scottish head of his. 




I'm trying to land on my feet, but I suspect I'm more 
likely to face-plant the landing. Much more 
uncomfortable, dangerous and painful. 



I'm not on the treadmill for my physical body, but I'm on my mental treadmill of "what if we do this?" and "what if we do that?", and that's running full speed ahead. Eventually the treadmill will toss me off - I won't be able to keep up the pace any more. The only question is when, where and how I'll land. Will I break lots of bones from a really poor landing and a flinging tread? Or will I land on my feet and walk away with my head held high, if a bit dizzy from the journey. At this point there's absolutely no telling. 




There are too many "What If's" in my life right now. Too 
many choices, too many decisions, and all of them having 
serious repercussions. Closing the way DH is envisioning 
it could be a complete and total disaster! 



I'm going to try to relax as much as possible this morning, my stress levels are already through the roof and I don't want to add to them. I'm regretting my decision to skip the treadmill, but I'll be in the swimming pool tomorrow and back on track once again. Taking a single day off isn't the end of the world. Oh, by the way, my virtual runs are back up and accessible once again, so at least that's one really good thing. Maybe I'll run with penguins on Friday - LOL. 




Getting the store closed isn't doing great things for my 
blood pressure, although I've always had great numbers 
for that. Still, the stress is factoring in, I'm quite sure. 



So, I'm going to pay a bill, maybe play a game or two on my phone, and generally try to kick back and lower my blood pressure before heading into the pressure cooker of what my Monday will be like. I hope you all have an excellent start to your week and I'll be back tomorrow - hopefully at a bit more even keel. Slava Ukraini.
