Change of Seasons
Looks as if the computers are beginning to get fixed.
I have a love-hate relationship with computers.
All I know is that if my POS system crashes, I am dead.
"friend_called_5" spent all afternoon with the computers...which culminated in trying to get my DSL up and running. I could never do what he does. I'd kill someone first.
"hazymoonlight" was painting the bathroom. It was a job that she suggested a few weeks ago and thought it was a good idea. I had toyed with the idea on my own awhile back, but I did not have the time or the inclination to do it...so I let it lay. It'll look a lot nicer now...less institutional.
One of the walls will look great with Ortenstone's "Melody For The Muse" on it. Watch now, we'll sell it now that we have found the perfect spot for it.
I do hope things pick up. The weekend was ghastly.
My busy time never coincides with when my sales are best. The end of the month sucks as that is when I have to write the biggest checks.
Oh...and Browneye got a few unemployment checks in the mail. Finally!
As for my mood...besides that I want the store to get busy again (it seems as if it is either feast or famine...oddly enough, with all my bitching, August was my best month - who'da thunk that the first 2 weeks of august would be as nuts as they were???)
...I'm also horribly depressed that summer is ending. I wait all year for summer and the time is so short. I know that business will pick up in the fall, which is a good thing, but at the same time, this is the most depressing time of the year for me as the days are getting shorter (noticaeably for the past month or so) and I'm beginning to see the "fall sky." The air has had a fallish feeling to it. It always seems as if we have much more winter than summer. Summer is such a wonderful gift and we have to suffer through winter to get it.
The only part of fall I like is the trees changing, but that is such a short time in the whole span of things...
My ony consulation is the reunion in October...Dallas is another quick gasp of summer before we hunker down for winter.
Winter sucks. If I were rich, I would take off to a warm, tropical climate for the winter months. I would leave in the end of October and come back here in the end of April or the beginning of May.
I would love to be able to at least stay in and not leave the house at all for those months.
I hate the cold.
