Urg…

Remember when I was in Reno and I ruined my years long record of not getting sick.
Well I had a repeat performance last night, with a vengeance.
Today I’m working really hard at keeping water down

Should do…

I get so caught up in this internal pressure thing about all of the things I should do.
I should get this done, I should call them, I really should clean that.
I’ve been getting a lot done from my ’should list’, well not a lot, but a dent… it’s some progress.
I did a couple of things that are not on my “should list” today too.
That’s when I realized that my “should list” is primarily made up of things that impact my immediate environment in a way that is noticed by other people. ie, people will notice if I don’t get to the “should list” and if I do those things perhaps people will also notice that I’ve done something.
The point?
As I work through my mental list, and tuck a couple of things in my day that won’t likely be noticed or appreciated by anyone, I realized that it is not the things we do that will be seen that really define us, but more likely it is the things we do when no one is looking that really matter.
That’s my thought for the day.

(by the way, it’s after midnight and this is today’s post, not yesterdays… I’m crossing that off of my “should list for the day!)

Today

I asked Sarah to smell the mens room… it was a slow day.

It’s late…

And I’m late with my post… but I’m here.
I guess that’s part of the idea behind the 365 project, being here.
Much like the rest of my day today, I’ve not got much to say.
Mostly I’m just tired.
The shop has been going through a growth spurt, it seems I’m running to keep up with it sometimes. Raising a business is much like raising a child.
It has amazed me from the beginning that it really has taken on a life of it’s own, and I’m simply along for the ride.

Another Week Gone

But I got quite a lot done…
The big news is that the computer flash system is up and running! We added almost 20,000 pieces tattoo art to the studio. Today we booked 2 tattoo’s (and the system wasn’t on-line until late afternoon) as a direct result of adding the computer system. No one else in the area is doing this (that I know of) and it looks like it’s going to be a hit.
I have been completely OCD about this project for the last 10 weeks or so…
Now I’ve got to find another project

Today

Today I got nothin’ except sore leg muscles from cleaning those bathrooms.

The Men’s Room

We don’t have our own restrooms at the shop. To use the bathroom, one must exit our back door into a hall way and that’s where the restrooms are located. The guy who owns the trophy shop next door shares the bathroom with us as well as a few others in the building.. The owner of the building pays a guy to come in and clean them.
The guy next door is part of the problem. If my husband used the restroom and it consistently smelled like that, I’d have him go see a Doctor. The other problem is the cleaning guy… he never comes. It’s filthy, there are never any paper towels, toilet paper or soap.
Part of the problem is my stubbornness. I have always refused to clean the restrooms as it’s someone else’s job. He’s getting paid for it. I am not.
Tonight I broke down and cleaned the restrooms and restocked them with products from home (liquid soap, paper towels, toilet paper). I scrubbed urine from, well everywhere. I bleached every surface. I scrubbed every square inch of those floors.
Why am I telling you all of this as I sit naked on my sofa (I had to burn my clothes when I was done and it’s laundry day).
Because it’s

You won’t get this post unless you have a label maker…

But I’ve got a label maker.
I spent 2 hours making labels for everything in the shop. EVERYTHING!
I feel soooo organized!
