Not much going on in my life currently. Business is slower than I want, but the major problem is I'm running out of hay. Or more correctly, my suppliers are running out of hay and hay has been my only source of income for some time now. I've made some money with it, but then I've had to put money back into the business. That and doctor's appointments, so there isn't much left. I'm disappointed the hay didn't last longer, at least through February.
Now I must come up with an alternative product to keep the rent paid. I am seriously considering produce and thinking about a big sign campaign to promote it. Although I am also considering Fireworks, balloon bouquets and feed. I was awarded a dealership for MFM Feed stores, but my price is more than what they sell to the public, so I'm not sure that will work, even though I am out in the country and would save the buyer a trip into town. Not sure if I could move enough to make it worth my expense and effort.
But I need to come up with something. I have to make enough to at least pay my rent and get electric turned on. I have had a few people seemingly serious about wanting to buy a portable building after the first of the year. We'll see!
It is all going so much slower than I'm happy with, but maybe it will be a stronger business because of its slow growth. I just have to keep it covering its expenses. I don't have enough personal income to cover business loses.
Personally, I'm not dating or even talking to anyone currently. I know if I found my match, I'd want to be married again someday, but barring that, it looks like I'll be alone the rest of my life. Finding a new soul mate way out here in the country is difficult at best. My heart is still attached to "Carl", but I am slowly making progress getting over him.
I am internalizing a lot and learning who I am. Don't know where that will get me...
