Rough & Tough

Broken flower stems, mixed up emotions and feelings, reality sets in. What more can I say. This has been one awful month and a half. Nothing to give Thanks for, no one to light candles with, lost lust for flowers, lack of concentration, dreary Christmas, lonely New Years. What the hell, lucky I have time's healing on my side. Smiling for January. Oh, no, the flower business was fine. Sales may be down a tad, but profit was up, oddly enough. And pleased to see some Spring Anemones and Ranunculus. Tulips are just around the corner too. Ugh to Valentine's Day, but if you know me, you know I dread the madness of this outrageous hallmark holiday. Ok, yeah, there is a shot in the arm of cash flow, just enough to make up for the January quiet times. But really, this year, you better get your order in early, and it best be more than $100. I am trying to keep my self busy doing some year end organizing and some early spring cleaning. Throwing out the old crap and trying to neat and tidy the good stuff. Definitely going to try to keep up the bloggery, since I have been super bad at that. Repot the Orchid plants and continue to imagine that I can get them to bloom. Stop using ginger jar vases, more squatty cylinders. Lost yet another local cut flower grower! Maybe paint some more? I don't know about that. How about get some exercise? Nah! A new iMac would be good! Ok, well, I am still not quite there yet. Give me a little more time. I think I will try to write a nice entry next week.
