Warning - Cranky/sad/grrr post
See - here is the part I hate. I am here, at my shop, at least 8 hours a day, if not 11 or 12, 6 days a week and the one day I am not here (Tuesday) I spend it trying to get EVERYTHING else accomplished. And I see my friends all out for breakfast or snuggling with their families or having lazy days in their PJ's or watching the waves crash on the shore and I am SO sad because I can't do those things. Because I am here. And YES. I understand that that is part of taking on your own business. But that doesn't make it any less sad for me. It doesn't make me any less frustrated that I am so exhausted when I go home at 5 on a Saturday that I can't manage to do anything but take a bath and be a blob on the couch for the rest of the night.
Oh - an addendum to a previous post. I told you all about Kelly across the street, right? So - she came in on Friday - she had found a teapot for me (she's a hoarder AND a compulsive shopper - she buys me teapots and I pay her back - it's actually pretty awesome) and she got a greek salad. And then she came back yesterday for another one. Apparently, I am not THAT over-priced! lolol Plus, she said it was "different, but delicious, especially since I made my own tatziki dressing". So there! I've decided to let what she said roll off my back. There just isn't a point in elevating gossip.
In good news - we had another stellar day yesterday with 9 breakfast sales and 11 or 12 lunch/dinner sales. And we got two new couples who are going to become regulars. The brie and apple sandwich was SUCH a hit. Now I have to decide if I should keep the meatballs on for anotehr week. I think I will - I think I will switch out my hot sandwiches once a month. So this will be the last week of teh meatballs and next week will will do pulled pork and those massive kaisers from our delivery people.
Two new soups this week - we will see how they go over. Well - back to the grind. ;)
