for the last 2 days i've been looking everywhere for a notebook with a good deal of research in it for a writing project i've started but have had neglected for a long while. i'm really trying to get back to writing on a regular basis which is why you're hearing from me now.
i've been in a panic about losing months of research when it finally occurred to me this morning while opening the store that the one place i've not looked is in the backseat of my car. i never have anyone back there and my car is a wasteland for stuff i just can't bear to drag into the house. don't judge me: i've moved the store and the house a total of 6 times in the last 2 1/2 years and there're always those last couple of boxes of random stuff that i don't use everyday that i run out of energy to deal with.
when i got home from the store i opened the bag in the floorboard behind the driver's seat and there was the lost notebook with a surge protector and baseball cap. crisis averted!
and the day was a good one in other ways too. an unreal list of my friends came to visit today: ellie, jonathan (my wonderful brother), pattie, rebecca, greta and katie. what a lovely surprise. the sales day was good but not great. my daily need was surpassed but i'm still stressed about the slow overall sales (though the week has been a good one).
to top the day off i talked to my bff in florida and my football and hockey teams both won. if i were a different person i would feel great but i honestly feel anxious about tomorrow because it's not possible to have 2 days like this in a row. isn't that terrible? i should count my blessings and let tomorrow come but i have anxiety and that's hard for me. i always dread the other shoe dropping. it's, no doubt, worse now that i own a business because i'm so aware of how everyday has to go in order to keep the business afloat. ugh. i'm gonna turn this gadget off, say my prayers and read a bit. i'll face tomorrow if i'm blessed enough to get it.
grace and peace
