Making a Move on the Tea House

Hey kiddos,

DoHP, I think you're the only one not on a serious burnout right now (though correct me if I'm wrong).

Sisters, the time is now. (I know, dramatic, right?)

I'm making a move on our dream teahouse. Q and I have a name unofficially chosen (I won't be posting it here until I clear it as an LLC and copyright a few things). We're going to price kitchen equipment tomorrow. We need used books, mugs, tea cups, tables and chairs, and some cubicles if anyone has a lead I can follow. I'm also looking for an organic tea shop to contract with if anyone has a preference. We also require store copies of all the major gaming references.

I eeked out 3 hours of sleep last night but finished 5 more chapters. I'm hell bent on making this happen, y'all. I've done the math including startup, food fees, employee pay, and rent and as long as we can keep the rent at or under 3K/month we can do this if we make $300/day in sales.

I'll keep you apprised,
Alula

Landslide

Alright... so I really don't post very often and for that I am very sorry. Since I haven't said anything in a while it's time to unload. When life buries you in a landslide, what do you do? I'll tell you what... You sit and cry for an hour at a time not knowing what is the matter with you. You do nothing at all because the shear number of things you have to do is so overwhelming that you have no clue where to start or the will to start the tasks you must endure. At this time I must find a way to persevere in the landslide of tasks and obligations, and no matter what I know that at some point I will again see the light above me and breath fresh air.
