Is it really Thursday?

Wow, this week is flying. As weeks usually do when your work load exceeds your time available. I have never been this busy in November. On the upside to this, I should have a large billing. :-)

It looks as though my last day as store owner, will be tomorrow. I am not as happy as I thought. Still feeling emotions that reflect losing someone you love. Very odd. I didn't expect it.

I am nervous and yet invigorated by the transaction at the same time. I do see that I will not have a break in my work load until next year, from this transaction. Because our contract stipulates we must provide him so many hours of assistance. These assisting hours are well over my regular hours managing the store - at the store, time. So, this could be tricky.

I am trying to keep my mind on the idea that "it isn't over, until it is over". The main reason being the large amount of cash the buyer must bring to the table. Without it the deal is off. So, nothing is in stone, until the cashiers check is on the table. Like my hubby says "we have nothing to lose".

So, regardless if this guy completes the transaction - the worse place for us is, we are left exactly where we are today. Less, a few phone calls to re-activate our utility accounts. No biggie at any rate.

I will probably work until the wee hours Friday night. I want to transfer the store while it is closed. Meaning I will go in and remove all personal items, not associated with the sale. Then I will need to do a complete and detailed inventory of all products in the store and submit the list with a cost sheet for the buyer to purchase. Finally, I need to remove all cash, including the huge load of quarters from the change machine - good thing I am getting stronger. :-) The buyer suggested buying our quarters off of us, but I am NOT counting quarters. I suggested it is better for him to go to the bank and buy his own.

Right now, I just hope and pray - that what is meant to be, will be.

Funny, my hubby is not sleeping and I hit the bed and am out until the alarm - then struggle to force myself out of bed. I'm thinking my work load is much heavier then his right now. Hmmm..
