Brain Dead

It is Sunday and I am tired and pretty much brain dead. I have noticed this condition for some time now. Usually in the morning having had my coffee my motor is humming and ready to go. On Sundays it just won't start. I can crank and crank and all I get is a funny notice that sounds like a knock.
No, no one is at the door I checked.
I have had thoughts of maybe I am getting old. Maybe I am not taking enough vitamins. I just sit and stare at the computer screen trying to comprehend some of the blogs and a comment seems to be an effort. You know when I am brain dead because you get a "have a great day"," ty for sharing" and the like. Seems nothing comes to the forefront.
So today I put on a movie and fell asleep. Felt good.

This week has been a good week with a lot accomplished. I have been working with two clients on redoing their homes. They usually don't know what they want but all want a certain feel. It is my job to take their lifestyle, feelings, and style and create a comfortable Environment with versatility. Meeting needs beyond beauty. Some of those needs require I pick adaptable furniture, extra storage and organization. My job is wonderful because it allows me to get to know the person inside and their dreams as well as problems. Sometimes the biggest hurdle is when it is a couple. Now you have two people in the equation with each wanting something different usually. So now you have to know the likes and dislikes of both as well as the special needs of each and find a compromise where both have a home they enjoy. You also have to understand both want the other mate to be happy and will say they like something when they don't. Then you have to dig a little deeper. My objective is to create an environment of a haven that brings peace and serenity so they can enjoy and recharge.
My job is hard work, satisfying, and creative. I love it.
I get to create, shop and think outside the box. Always keeping the budget of the people involved in mind.

Budget is another thing. Most clients want a change but don't create a budget. I have to get them to do this so I have a realm of adjustment to create their dream. It is not like I work with people who have unlimited financial freedom. Then when we go shopping for something and they bet excited I have to bring them back to earth and ask where is it going and what is the purpose. Let's don't get it but we will keep it in mind as the project progresses.
First and foremost I have to know I am creating their dream not mine and it is sort of like when we awake in the morning and remember bits and pieces of a dream. It takes a while to remember the whole dream.
To do what I do efficiently I have to have boundaries. I have provided a service they could not do for themselves. I brought the creation into reality so there is no I will paint the room myself or my friend can do that part of the creation. I have signed on till completion and I require compensation for bringing it all together. This is what I do. Once we get past all the hurdles the end is pure joy when I see the feelings of happiness.
Sometime I think it would be easier to just contract to Realtor and such for quick turnovers but can I not create is the question. You see money is not my motivator.
A friend and I have been thinking about doing a service business. I have done many service businesses and am knowledgeable to make it work. Since I have concerns about my financial destiny and being able to care for myself when I can no longer do the physical work: then this decision will probably be a good idea. We have known each other for years and compliment each in talents. We are motivated and have a good vision and respect for work ethics as well as each other. We can talk and exchange easily without egos getting in the way. I bring stability of experience and she brings new energy and new thinking. It is in the realm of creating and sounds like it is feasible.
If the universe supports it it will happen.
Next week is go, go, go again. I am at the stage of putting the creation in effect on one job and the final stages before I complete putting the other together. Then the schedule to be able to work on both. As we all know we live in a want it now world and attention spans are narrow.
So I have to keep everyone excited so they don't stray off to a new butterfly, or problem.
Life is grand.

The dog hair is still on my rug, dishes are in the sink, van needs to be cleaned and sheets washed. Overall that is not much so I think I will continue to recharge today and get it done early in the morn.
I want all to know how much I appreciate your leaving yourself in my life even when I am not at home. It is a big part of my happiness to know you care.
I will be leaving early and leaving late for a while. As I can I will let you know you are important to me and I have not fallen off a ladder or cut off my hand. LOL
Love you my dear friends
