Dear God! I'm worn out. Every part of me hurts. We have been working non stop on getting my older home ready for rent, we moved my household into my new place and for the last 2 weeks we have been cleaning, moving, sorting, dumping, literally killing myself in the process of getting my junk out of the old shop address. Logistically this have been the biggest undertake in my hole life. I have tried to protect my husband health by letting him stay at home and worked around the details at the new shop and the house. I figured that with his bad back he would have been out of commission fast and without me bringing an income I need him to take care of all the bills for now.
I miss my old shop. A lot of the stuff in the pictures is gone. Still , we have brought truck loads after truck loads to the new place. Mind you the new shop is 800 sf smaller. I'm going to be facing a great challenge making most of the stuff fit in the space I have now.
This is how the old shop looks today. Sooo sad. Some of my costumers have been freaking out thinking I'm going out of business. I am NOT. This is my life and I love doing what I do.
I'm getting rid of a lot stuff, figurines, dishes, fabrics, etc. I will be selling the stuff at 90% below cost. Why storing the stuff when nobody is buying?. I refuse to pay storage on stuff that will not make me any money. I rather let the stuff go and called it a lost.
SO SAD
I must look toward the future and all the great things to come. I'm trying to keep myself alive in the process. My back is killing me, I stay up at night in pain. The next morning I get up and do it all again. I know is worth it. I forgot to mention God's provision. He has blessed my with wonderful friends. I have great packers, some great muscles on weekends and some great cooks that have fed me and my husband. I thank God for all of them and you know who you are. Thank you, I could have not done alone. Let's see what today brings, I'm tired but ready. Blessings, Marta.

Try to get a little rest in between the moving. Good luck with the new shop. Times are changing and I guess we have to change with them.
Don't push yourself. Best of luck with your new shop.
Have a wonderful PS weekend.
