The delays
I really didn't want to publicly announce the reason for delays since at this point I've already broken so many dates of promise. Cutting to the point, the landlord has basically lagged on me due to the fact that she had trouble obtaining the funding to complete the flooring. I actually knew about this no more than a week ago but didn't want to say anything due to risking more delays and causing a rift in our relationship. Problem now is, I can't sleep and I'm stressed beyond belief.
As if things haven't been bad enough, fighting the city, having issues with permits and restrictions, funding this whole project, and now the landlord is the only thing stopping me from opening. The list goes on and on and I could talk for days about it but I won't. The gist of the matter is I finished everything including the painting over the weekend. The shop has been ready for flooring since the beginning of October and once again I look the fool by trusting that something would get done by someone other than myself.
It's easy for everyone to sit there and say this and that and make suggestions. It's easy to judge me and call me an idiot and a liar. It's also easy to stay home and do nothing and not chase your dreams. Go ahead, make all the assumptions you want, talk all the smack you want, put in your 2 cents and think you know it all when in fact, you really have no clue what it's been like to get this thing to where it is.
For the first time in my life I'm actually scared. I don't know how I've kept everything going this long, but I do know I need the store to open NOW. I can't afford to keep paying $4,800 a month for nothing and a quarter of the month has already gone by. Anyways, just wanted to inform you guys and I will keep at it with the landlord to finish this up. Sorry for the delays, but my life and well being are truly in the hands of someone else at this time and all I can do is be patient.
