🎶 If I was a rich bitch… la la la la la (melody: if I was a rich man) 🎶 But I’m not… but if I was I would have my new company up and running already without any hesitations. On the other hand, that I’ve had to wait and test my patience has also been good because it gives me time to come up with more ideas and opportunities to research those ideas.

Earlier this week I had an idea to get the guest bed out of the office and get a table in that I knew I had in the garage. That would be the most perfect place for preparing orders and having all my tea well organized in one place and not all over the house.
Despite waking up with a headache I went straight to action. First I got the table out of the garage and then I got the bed in where the table had been. I was actually surprised how smooth it went. But as I’ve said before; when it is the right thing to do, it goes smooth!!! So not even 7 am and this had happened

I thought Twix was going to be a little upset that I took his bed so I put a blanket under the table for him. But he chose to be at my feet instead. And then I opened the blinds a little for him and I don’t think he minded that I took the bed…

I just love my new little work station! So much easier and convenient. The table is high so it is comfortable to stand at as well. And it looks really good in there too! So happy I did it!

The headache I woke up with did not agree with all this work early in the morning. Another two Excedrin down the throat and I decided to see if some fresh air could help. Off to the barn I went. I had planned to do some work with them since I am off an the weather was great but my body said absolutely no to that. I was dizzy and almost passed out while I was there. But I saw some photo opportunities that I wanted to grab before I got home. That gave me something else to do than just tea stuff as well… I must say I’m quite pleased with them. If you wonder where Dallas is, she was standing so the sun was shining the wrong direction and the pictures didn’t get any good… but she is fine…

I want to have Cuddles life… seriously… look at that cat!

Finally got home and sat down. At this point I did not think that I was going to be able to take a walk. I have as a goal for the year to walk 4 miles every day I’m not working, as long as the weather permits. I absolutely could not blame the weather but was it too risky for my body? The dogs didn’t care shit about my body, they wanted to take a walk so I decided to at least try. If I didn’t make the full 4 miles, maybe I just make it around the block, then that will have to be enough for today. As simple as that. So after sitting in front of the computer for another hour the dogs and I headed out. A walk facing all kinds of challenges. Railroad workers that wanted to talk to us. Twix was as always super excited, BamBam not so much. Then a lose Bulldog at the cemetery but the owner had him well trained so nothing happened thankfully. And on our way back we had to wait for the train to pass again…

So the walk took a little longer than it usually does but who cares! I made it through! That’s all that matters! And so far so good, the headache didn’t get worse after I got home either. I drank plenty of water and that was enough.

I am so excited for the opening of Harlequin Tea. Have so many ideas and thoughts. It is hard to wait until February 1st. But I have no other choice! I have no bags so I can’t sell anything except small bags and that’s no fun! It will be worth the wait!
