People have been hammering me about it, those who I tell are more than understanding. BUT its been real bad, I pride myself on our service and to be honest it sucks lately.. which is all me. I still have days of wondering what the hell happened, its been 3-4 weeks since all their passings. It been very rough for me and I simply just want something good to happen for a change. I'm not a baby and I lay in the bed I make.. things just got to me this week is all. I didn't even want to post this but you people are my age and wise and might have some understanding. I am a person long before I am a vendor but for some reason people forget that. I am straight forward and don't lie or sugar coat things, 6'3" tall and 250 lbs and sometimes I think people forget that I am just a person, not some heartless being cut out of stone. Sorry for whining, just wanted to explain to anyone who might understand.

I’m sorry to hear about you losing your dad and friends. Totally understandable that it would affect your business in some way.
Y'know... There should be a limit on how many challenges life gives us at one time. There isn’t. :( Or, maybe challenges should be on a point system, and all combined they can’t add up to more than the maximum allowed limit. There isn’t that either. :( Nope, sometimes if it isn’t one thing it’s ten. Nights we go to bed and wonder when a “really good day” changed from one that things got better, into one where things at least didn’t get (too much) worse. Days we feel like the guy at the circus trying to keep plates spinning on those sticks, and there are just too many damn sticks.
A plate falls off and fixing that one means a different one loses momentum.
Good luck with your plates CC. Now, go pack away any unrealistic expectations of fixing everything in 24 hours, and be satisfied with what you as one person can do with each day.
Those days will add up and things will get better.
Until then... I'm sending a big batch of positive energy in your direction.
