Next on the Agenda

 

Whew!  I'm still not completely recovered from the family visit.  What an old fart I am (LOL!)  All that running around for the weeks beforehand...and then the four days of intensive entertaining.  The last few days, I've really felt sort of at loose ends.  I'm inclined to enjoy the rest of this week as my "vacation," since this is the last few days of the "Month With No Work."  But I have a lot of things to iron out for the business. 

Part of what's holding me back is the fact that I need to send out checks for some licenses and things, and the bank account is a little anemic.  Unfortuately, that situation isn't going to change, at least not until after our first event in June (I HOPE), so NOT sending out the checks isn't really doing me any good (Does that make any sense?)  Guess I'll just have to tap into the savings account.  Ugh!  I HATE doing that!

It has finally decided to start raining.  The weatherman has been threatening rain for the last three weeks, and it has done little more than be dark and cloudy, and piss lightly (whenever we wanted to do anything outside.)  But the last two days it has been raining in earnest.  Good for the new grass (which was starting to resemble a Brillo pad), but hardly motivational for ME.  Rainy days make me just want to sit around and mope; or curl up with a good book and eat (and I'm not EVEN going to go THERE.)  So I basically have to kick myself in the ass to get anything done.  Guess I'll go downstairs and get another cup of coffee, and see if that will get my butt moving any faster.  I'm on half-caf these days...not completely off the "no-caffeine" wagon, but sort of being dragged behind it a little bit!

On the docket for today is product development.  (It was on yesterday's docket, too, but I blew it off and went shopping instead!)  I am going to develop my Napoleon recipe...really a must, since I'm planning on serving them at the event we're doing in a week and a half!  I just can't get anything done unless I'm faced with a dire deadline.  Last-minute Lisa---that's me.  Wish me luck.  I'll post pictures if I come up with something halfway decent.  I'd hand out samples, but...well, that would be a little tough, wouldn't it?
