PFG, Picture Framing God
In 30 minutes I am closing my store for my first vacation in 4.5 years. I have been counting the minutes and yet all day I have been filled with anxiety. As the time comes closer I swear I am having a small anxiety attack. Can I really close this place for 8 days?
I've warned people who have placed orders, I've busted my butt rushing through a boatload of stuff just to clear my conscience. The bills are paid, the mail has been stopped, there's a nice sign on the door and a new message on the answering machine. Did I mention the bills are paid?
Apparently after 4.5 years of no more than 2 days in a row away from here I cannot "stand down". This place is with me 24/7, I don't even try to shake it any longer. This place has consumed me. I'd like to say it was a consuming passion but in reality it has been a consuming battle to survive as most of you know.
I know it is unhealthy, I know you do need time away to recharge your batteries. I have lots of plans for my time off. Only going away for 3 days but I will be happy to just sit and stare into space for a couple days too.
My plan is to take this time to catch up on my life and just clear my head and of course an antique road trip for a few days. Then I want to come back here refreshed and ready to take on whatever lies ahead. I will either be recharged for the battle or with some time away maybe ready to pull the plug.
But, first, I have to get out the door and drive away......I think it will probably take at least 2 days to decompress.....oh well, that still leaves me 6.
