I am just so tired of everything!

I have to admit sometimes I just get tired. Tired of politics. Tired of the internet. Tired of all the bullshit involved in running a business. Just fucking tired.

It is great to go out and get on the beach with my honey and our friends and just relax for a weekend. We did a bunch of stuff but we also had time to relax and chill out for a while.

And of course pose for photos.

Not to worry.....I am just to be too busy

Hey not to worry. I have just been very busy the last two weeks so I have fallen behind on my posting.

This past week was the gift show and we had to go for three days straight. So no posting on the net. After the show we had meetings with various sales reps as we are looking for people to rep our wholesale line out on the Coast and in the Midwest. So typically we shopped all day and had a dinner meeting. When we got home I was so beat I went to sleep.

What you do at these shows you go to various booths and see what they have. We are filling the lingerie shop but that will not just have bras and nightgowns and robes. We need filler items like purses and jewelry and lingerie bags and little cards that the girl shopping for a gift for a bridal shower could buy. You want to be a one stop shopping experience. Here Lisa is getting lingerie bags and make up cases that will be little add ons.

Now is the time you buy stuff to sell for the Holidays. These metal boxes are soy candles with three wicks which burn for about sixty hours with some really cool smells. Goes for twenty bucks retail and is a perfect teachers gift or Kris Kringle thingy.

Scarves are a big thing this season. We got these from an outfit from Nepal made by homeless Nepalese or some shit like that there. It was funny but after we bought them we saw someone wearing one of them on a TV show that night.

We walked up and down the aisle and we saw French inspired shit we would stop. The shop has a French motif which is of course karma. There is nothing I hate more than French people and now I have a French shop and French or Frenchified cunts coming in every freaking day.

One of the things we are going to offer is earrings that would be cute and sexy to wear with the lingerie outfit. Or to put together for a gift for your girlfriend. You can come in and the girls can help you pick out a whole outfit down to the cute earnings. These go for $40 retail which is very reasonable for the quality.

The problem is that all of this is very labor intensive. The little purchase we have above took about an hour to pick out. Lisa has to balance the cost vs. the cute. It is easy to buy very expensive stuff that looks great but then it is really hard to sell it in Obama's economy. So you spend hour after hour trying to find a good price point to be able to sell it and turn it over so your money doesn't sit in inventory. It was exhausting. Especially since the gift show doesn't have any chairs! When you are at a clothing store they have chairs to sit on while they show you the line. In the gift show space is at a premium so you are standing up the whole time.

The one thing that really worked out was that I was able to find the perfect pillow for Lisa.

I had a Doctor appoint today so I thought I would bring my new skinny head

I had a Doctor appointment with the new guy today which looks like it is going to be a regular thing. The gizmo is working perfectly and we are regulating my meds so I can work towards an ablation in the next couple of months.
When we were finished we went for a walk down Atlantic Avenue. I loved walking in the sun. Jeez I sound like I am a hundred fuckin' years old.
Anywho we went to this little bistro we found last week. The owner was a very pregnant white girl who made the omelet you see to spec. That is very little oil and not salt. It was the first outside food since the hospital and it was delicious.
So we stop outside but the girl is not there. There is some bald headed Ali Baba Arab guy behind the counter. But we said screw lets go in we can always just have tea.
Turns out he is the husband of the girl and a very nice guy. They had the baby two weeks early and now he has to work ten hour shifts. But he was very happy. We do what we always do and got his whole life story. I had a delicious crepe with eggs and spinach with no salt and very little oil or butter. The Arab spices he put in it were delicious. It had eggs, shallots, spinach, peppers and lots of spice. I don't know if it is on my diet but it was great. Now this will become our regular thing.
The only downer was that all our regular car service guys took the day off since the Jug Eared Jesus was in town about thirty blocks away. So traffic was fucked big time. They figured they would work at night instead. Eventually we grabbed a cab home.

Sorry I wasn't around.

I am sorry that I wasn't around for a couple of days but I was really beat.

I went to the doctor yesterday who handles the pacemaker. I found out that he is also a cardiologist. So I have been very tired and when reviewed my meds he felt I was taking too much blood pressure medicine. He checked the bp five times. Three in one arm and two in the other and it was extremely low. So he changed my meds and told us what was going on in plain and simple terms. My regular cardio guy was very cavalier about prescribing the meds and went off on vacation for two weeks. This guy gave me an eco-cardio gram off the books just to check out was going on.

We both liked his straight way of talking so I am going to change to him as my main doctor. Since he handles the device anyway I think this is better. We had our cousin who is pharmacist look him up and he got the highest marks so we think it is great move. When we left the doctors office we went for a walk down Atlantic Avenue in the sun. It was very nice and we even stopped for tea and a snack. They made me a spinach omelet with no oil or salt. It was very nice.

When we got home I was exhausted and went to sleep for about five hours. I have been pretty exhausted and trying to get through it. I think the new med regime will work but it will take some time.
