Never let them see you sweat!

I may burrow into the bed today.

Didn't sleep worth a damn last night. It all started with a dream that I reached into the freezer to check my product and instead of a carton of my stuff, I pulled out a glass bottle. Without any label on it.

Then, while still in my dream, I said to myself, well that's just not right and reached in again. This time, I pulled out the correct container, but the label wasn't there. I investigated further and could see that all of the labels had lost their adhesive and fallen off.

I made myself wake up before it went any farther! That was 1:30, so I got up and finished doing the taxes until 3:30. Went back to bed, after taking more arnica (because my back is really hurting and my hands are swollen from putting together this huge order) and woke up again at 4:30 with a blasted headache.

Got up again and took aspirin. DH woke me up at 7:50, so had to dash to make some coffee before he had to leave. (it's a ritual with us - I bring him his coffee every morning - usually) Got him to sign the tax return and off he goes.

Now - the source of my restlessness is that I need the distributor to pick up the order in partial amounts, because as a one woman act, I can only store so much. I've addressed this issue in two emails to him and so far there has been no response - but he did respond to another email yesterday. (for awhile there I thought he might not be in the office - sick or something)

I even tried to set a deadline of today for the first pick up. Nada.

Now - here's a guy who repeatedly asked me if there was anything he could do to help to not hesitate to ask. Again . . . Okay - I'm asking already!!!

I need to decompress and be patient - not a strong suit for me - and not email him again until I get some answers. I can delay until Monday, but after that - guess I'll have to get stronger about it and remind him that he asked me if he could help. Hello??

And - my back is killing me! There's a lot of heavy lifting. I messed up my hands putting together 25 cases and cutting down the boxes with scissors - what a dumass - so I recently bought a heavy duty box cutter that works much easier.

I could use a massage.

Guess I'm in need of an unhappy hour.

I did send another email keeping it very short and to the point. Got most of an answer right away. Still waiting for them to "show me the money", but I'm sure it will be all right . . . eventually.

Today, the mountain of my summer work grew two more (?) foothills of things I'll be doing to keep myself out of the way of sin and self-depravity this summer.

Apparently, my philanthropy era has begun.

I'm so sorry I missed this... snow and all
