Today was a good day and gave me a little jolt of the dopamine needed to muster up the strength to deliver a good return punch.  Still hanging on by a thread and hopeful for a couple of significant pieces to come together and praying that I can keep things from crumbling in the mean time.<\/p>\n<p>Today we took in $60 above our daily baseline. That is two Wednesdays in a row that we were slightly above our daily baseline requirement.  It makes me wonder, &#8220;why Wednesdays?&#8221;  I am kind of a statistics fanatic, as you know, and tracking data for a pattern to emerge is my geeky obsession.  <\/p>\n<p>So we had a good day, and I live to fight another day.<\/p>\n<p>This is so freaking hard.  I am so extremely grateful for everyone who purchases and supports us.  The online DIY Take-Home kits are finally getting traction again over the last few days.  They had unexpectedly become non-existent in January.  We ended up the month of January only bringing in 66% of our required revenue just to cover essentials such as rent, payroll, utilities, taxes, etc.  None-the-less, I was happy with the way the month ended.  That last week of January made all the difference.  The first three weeks&#8230;super stressful, nail-biting kind of days.<\/p>\n<p>There are pressing matters that I absolutely have to get a handle on that require our revenues to get up to at least baseline.  I have to be able to breath soon.  I feel like my time is running out.  I am driving DoorDash like crazy, and it is certainly helping.  Most weeks, I can clear above $500 and sometimes even above $700.  But $500 average is pretty typical working about 3 hours per day 7 days per week.   And most of the time, I drive dinner after spending the day at Burst Of Butterflies.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, I feel like I am keeping well focused on the objective and handling it without falling apart or letting emotion lead.  That is a pretty good change. <\/p>\n\n<!-- Quick Adsense WordPress Plugin: http:\/\/quickadsense.com\/ -->\n<div class=\"ddac3911c67bc0e3db301fc01952e3bc\" data-index=\"100\" style=\"\">\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some days I wonder if can keep fighting and other days I know definitively that there is no other option.
