Ready or Not

Well, despite all the loose ends, there comes a time when you gotta' say, let's do it. For better or worse today will be the day that I at least open the doors, and see what happens.

It's a shame that I've put all my energy and resources into preparing the place, that I've put absolutely no time into promoting it, breaking one of my own golden rules. With less than 24 hours notice, we shall see who will be able to turn up to share in this personal milestone moment.

Inhale....

The Last Mile!!

I think it's been 43 days since I got the keys, and although there remains plenty of details to work out (like signage!), at least I can see that the end is in sight. Can I get a HELL YEAH!?

To say this project has become the most ambitious thing I've ever taken on doesn't do these last 6 weeks justice. I feel on the verge of absolute collapse, and there are many days when I wish I had never taken on so much with so little. Second guessing myself at this point, however, is a luxury I can neither afford, nor entertain. All I can do is keep on keeping on, and pray that all my efforts will pay off in the long run. Must stay positive...must stay positive...must stay....
