Yesterday was full of negotiations. It was busy and exciting. I was in and out of the house, on the phone and in meetings about what appeared to be hopeful talks about getting a place for Darin and I to start our business in. So far though no real progress has been made. I’ve reached the limit of my generosity in compensating people for struggling businesses that want us to purchase potential they haven’t realised. We’re not even interested in what they are doing. Their facilities are not ideal. More needs to be done. We have no intention in continuing their failed concepts, we are simply wanting a location without having to wrangle with a difficult to get along with council. Grrrr
Maybe it’s karma. I believe I sold a business once based on a lack of retail space. It was back in the 80′s when I had Asha and fell in love with her and wanted to stay home and not be in business anymore. I felt very blessed at that time and perhaps this is the balancing of the scales. We weren’t stupid and greedy though and we did have runs on the board to negotiate with. We sold the business to a former employee in the end who could clearly see what we’d built and continued with our idea. I think she was probably in business for 20 years.
Today by comparison was quiet. I’ve read, listened to audio books, done a bare minimum of housework and had a big sleep. I felt a bit indulgent about that, yet met a fellow teacher in the supermarket that announced he had an afternoon nap today quite proudly. It changed my perspective. I have managed to continue my half hour of exercise, even in the low energy of today. I am quietly determined to continue with it even when I get back to the last term of school. Damn that’s getting closer!
