TGIT?

I don't know about ya'll, but I'm having a long week. I woke up this morning wondering what day it was and felt a tiny bit of relief that it was only a couple days 'till the weekend.

This is pretty unusual for me, generally I don't even think about things like when do I get to sleep late and lay on the couch with a good book for a couple hours, but hey, like I said I'm having a long week.

Now, I know everybody has a long week now and then. And so do entrepreneurs. Contrary to popular belief, we actually do work and we have challenges at our jobs just like some one who punches a clock. Unfortunately (or fortunately- it's hard to tell sometimes) we have absolutely no one to blame it on except ourselves. I can't whine about the boss who asks for to much, or the enormous amount of overtime I'm putting in or the nasally co-worker who keeps interrupting me or the fact that the network isn't cooperating. Nope. It's just me. And when I'm having a long week, it's because I am asking myself to achieve more than normal in a 4 day work week. ( yes, I said 4 day- see why I was saying earlier unfortunately or fortunately- it's hard to tell sometimes).

Anyway, when I woke up and was wondering what day it was I had this picture in my head of splashing around in shark infested, choppy seas and coming upon a life preserver. I grabbed that life preserver and started tugging on the line and as I did I pulled myself right up to the weekend- and I flung myself off the life preserver and onto a sandy beach. Palm trees and gentle waves and sunshine and all that. whew! Made it.

That made me think of this song "Some Beach". I found the video for ya, just in case you are having a long week too, you can take a tiny break and enjoy this:

there, don't you feel better now?

OK, enjoy the rest of your week and I still am working on that "next post" about my brush with death, so check back in a day or two.
