Under enormous pressure at the moment, and not really well enough to fight it ~~~The aftermath of a very poor Auction at my second shop , along with the huge task of closing that down, by transferring stock etc back to my main shop, including having to record all of the smallest transfers, has been taxing.~~~ ~~~ All of this, with a corresponding very welcome surge in trade at the main Shop ( Xmas trading in full swing.)~~~It all finally got to me today~~~Fortunately, my new Assistant, Shelley, saved the day, with some crucial care at the right moment, probably saving me from another heart recalibration in Hospital... like the other two that I had recently.~~~ So, why am I not sleeping right now...12.45 am Thursday already?~~~Well, with the long bouts of Hospitalisation recently, where I at least got the opportunity to plan the whole operation (one doesn't sleep well in those Hospitals), I have barely had a minute of real on site time to get things rolling in the right direction.~~~ With only a few days left to complete this enormous task... is this the only problem tonight...no.....some goods have got 'lost' during the movements of stock ...I can't get to the other shop to look for them, making it pretty hard for my great friends, who are helping me with the shifting of goods.~~~I am bamboozled as to what happened to my Shop sign , for instance... from off of the front wall of the shop... sad , because I had already ordered the new stick on panels to allow that sign to be used at my main shop...it cost me over $800 back in 2020!~~~My security lights and cameras have remained in place since the shop was closed 12 months ago, the time to go through the pics is the problem at the moment... other things have gone astray as well, so that onerous task has to go wait ... meantime, I can't sleep.
