I was having one for those days yesterday.  You know you have had them.  You just can’t seem to please people.  So, why do I even try.  I tell myself that forget it, I am tired of trying, but my conscience won’t let me.  I am right back where I just want to make people comfrontable and give them want they need not necessarily what they want.  Ughh!

So, yesterday I was waiting on some people to come pick up a “L” counter that was made in the new studio.  They can not take it out by carrying it out.  They actually have to take it apart.  They knew I was moving in at the beginning of the Month. They are just now getting to it.  I waited around on Monday for an hour and 1/2 for them to come only to find out that need a special drill bit or whatever to take it apart and that the person has another business and would not be able to get until later that everning.  I have class and it was a good one, then I finished moving from one studio to the new studio.  I had more stuff that I realized, which was in “Finally Moved In.”  I waited for them to show up and guess what no show.  I go home.  Yesterday they we suppose to come get it and I was up at the studio again, putting up the curtains to help keep the heat out, it helped just a little.  No one came.  I noticed she has on her window the new business of what she wants to use the counter for, but it ain’t going to happen unless she comes and gets the counter.

Okay, so in the new studio I have a little stereo and I have attached the speakers up on the wall above the mirrors so that the sound can project out which I thought my instructor would appreciate since she likes it loud.  Well, she mentioned or asks me if I could place on the back wall because she feels like the music in overpowering her or that she is competing with it.  What?  She has a loud enough voice.  Okay, turn the music down then.  That is a thought.  I mentioned to her that I will bring in the amp and she can bring in her mic and see if that works.  I had planned on that anyhow, since I was going to have to teach because her hubby got back from the desert.  Gee!  Then, later that evening, a customer mentioned to me that it is still hot in the place.  Well, you know what sweat a little bit, it helps the skin.  The window faces the west sun and man it is hot in there.  I have three fans in there already. 

I was already frustrated because earlier that evening I was suppose to teach a step with salsa class and no one came.  I just love to teach and get some cardio on and the step with salsa is really fun.  Most folks are just not coordinated enough they think.  They are really they just like to give up too fast.  What is with this generation. 

Oh well, I just keep pluggin on and things will pick up after the summer I know it will, I do have faith or else I would have never started the business and I would never have been able to do the things I am able to do. 

WOW, I have not worked so hard since I put blinds in for Colorado City Hospital.  Moving is tough you all.  You never really know how much stuff you have until you have to move it.

I finally got it all moved in on Monday night.  I stayed late after the 6:30 p.m. Body Chizel class. I still had to take the banner down, the net that held the stability balls, and move all of the modeling boxes and chairs that somehow I inherited.  Yhew! 

I bought some screen for the front window to help keep out the sun.  Well, it kept out the sun alright, but I could still feel the heat from the window.  I will just have to put an extension on the curtains that I bought and place them behind the screen to give it a little more added protection.  Thank God I know how to sew.  Thanks MOM.

I will have to buy some more curtain material or find some curtains on sale like I did for the front window at Lowe’s or Home Depot, to make the partition. 

I have to say, it is coming along Okay.  Now, if I can just get more people to come.  I know it will happen, I just have to have patience.  I am not a marketing person or salesperson, but every book I have read to help increase business all say that you have to turn into one.  I am just not like that.  Oh well, I just will have to survive on my personality.  Heck, can’t rely on good looks. :)  Everyone says that I look evil.  I can’t help it.  I was born part Indian.  They have a hard look to them.  Anyway, getting off the subject.

I just need to get a new Banner for up above the building so people can see it.  Everything is coming together.  I will be 60 years old before i  truly see my dream come true.  I guess I will be installing blinds until then too unless some University offers me a job I can’t refuse.  Hint, Hint.  MCM or ACU, okay even HSU.  I am still mad at them.
