Short note here as I'm running out of battery power on the notebook. Although it might be explained by in increase of stress, I'm running out of steam around 5pm every day and am back to sleeping around then in the recliner. Back burning has returned. And I'm having more problems both in getting to sleep, and in being productive in the early hours.

To list the stressers I'm dealing with right now:

1) Really behind on the distributable product, and have realized that I'll need to skip the rest of this season for marketing. That means I won't be able to capture any revenue for the rest of the year, and the cost of the web developer will have to come out of strategic savings.
2) The big client told me on Friday that he has no intention of making a big buy. I don't blame him for where we are economically and I kink of thought this would be the outcome so I didn't count on the money.
3) Bottom line in the business is that there is no revenue, and really no hopes of revenue from current sources until the new year. ARGH! Looks like we're going to cut it short on the savings thing.
4) The whole rationale of making it until the end of 2011 to boot an internet business is out the window as my state is passing a merchant required collection of the state tax or all out of state sales. SHIT!!!!
5) Razor is being a dick. He wanted to move out 2 years ago and be emancipated. Didn't do the paperwork and got caught in District Courthouse 1A for a while. For the last year I've been telling him and he's been telling me that he's moving out right after his birthday in September. Now, he all of a sudden changes his mind, and wants to save money for a car. He's and asshole and treats everyone here abusively - when he's around. All summer he's been running, turning down work (hence money) and not following the 2 simple rules we've given him. There's a storm brewing there, and I'm just tired. I want it to be over already.
6) Wifey is working, finishing a full time orientation stint at the hospital. I've got Chip during the day and I'm not doing my work very well or working with him very well. Then I get frustrated that I'm not making any progress on the distributable, marketing or admin stuff during the week. ARGH.

So I guess I've got a lot of stressers. I'm hoping that's all it is. I'll let you know.

Finally, there haven't been any entries because I've been back in the game. Mentally, I'm at one hundred percent. For stamina, I'm only at eighty, but that's to be expected with my age and MS. In my humble opinion, I can't believe that I'm doing so well.

Talk to you soon.
