Five minutes (or less) until I officially turn into a pumpkin. I was determined to be in bed by midnight tonight. I’ll make it…almost. After another five-minute snippet (I need to learn to type faster…)Tomorrow I go in to the café for a few hours in the morning, and then head down south to Junction City for the Scandinavian Festival--Café de la Rue’s biggest gig of the season. There was no way I was NOT going to do it this year…too much money involved. So I take off the Café owner mask and don the Scandinavian costume for a weekend. Trust me, even though it will involve four fourteen-hour days, and cranking out pocket sandwiches by the thousands, it will be like a mini-vacation. Going from wading my way through entrepreneurial quicksand to doing something that, though intense, I could probably do in my sleep. And I will enjoy the heck out of it.
I will NOT let thoughts of what could possibly be going on a hundred miles north tear me apart. I figure, I’m going to own the café for, god willing, a long time. One weekend away is not going to cause the whole house of cards to topple in on itself. I’ll go back Monday morning, probably feeling like I’ve been run over by a truck, but refreshed, and hopefully with a shade of new perspective on the café thing. It will be good to get away for a few days.
It will be good to get away for a few days and let's face it, if anything goes to hell in a handbasket while you're gone --- someone will call you. So, you're right not to think about things 100 miles north, unless they are good things!
ReplyDeleteI was at a big festival here yesterday and it made me wonder about you and if you were trying to keep up with BOTH businesses.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your time away and it gives you a refreshing break.
Sounds good -- both plans and attitude!

You'll have fun doing this this weekend, even though you will be working your butt off. The time away from the cafe' will be a good thing. It's a huge part of your life, but not the only part, and a little time apart can help you. Now get some rest before that pumpkin caves in on itself.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at Scandie and I'll probaby see you Sunday morning. :-)

This makes me want to hop on a plane! Wandering a Scandinavian festival in the cool clime of Oregon chowing down on pocket sandwiches and all other kinds of goodies sounds absolutely delightful. Even though you'll be working your tail off, you'll be completely away from your other dimension and it will be good for you. Too bad you can't sleep all day Monday and go back really refreshed on Tuesday morning. Forgetting about everything (mostly) plus making lots of money! Just the right Rx.
