so much thinking to do.... why does my brain take it on at 4 am??

Yesterday I ran from pillar to post all day long. I managed to lock my keys in my car TWICE! .Probably because I am now in the possession of a whole NEW keyring of shop keys, plus my keys are divided between the truck and the car, so I am carrying three sets of keys around. I rented a big box truck to haul the equipment to the salon, and the box being one foot or more wider than the cab, enabled me to rip a rear view mirror right off a car. At least it belonged to the guy in the body shop across from where I had the furniture stored. I did not get a ticket, but I did lay down my credit card to pay for the damage. You kow having insurance is like a payment plan for this kind of thing. Your premium goes up with a "accident surcharge" for three years, and you can do the math and find out that you HAVE paid for the accident yourself. So I decided to cut the paperwork and pay now, less headaches.
After locking my keys in the second time, returning the truck (which was not damaged) I drove back to the new salon to continue working, and realized I had left my phone on the roof of my truck. Luckily it was till there. That might have thrown me over the edge into full-on postal mode.
Nigel remains distantly in the picture, and waited patiently  to help me load the truck while my "accident" was being documented. BTW I did not get a ticket, thank you Lord.
Later on he stopped by and handed me some fruit to snack on. After our p!ssing match on my birthday, we both stomped away mad, and guess who got the brown end of the stick, me of course.. I asked him how he was doing, and he said he was still about 5% angry. fine, whatever, I am 50% hurt feelings. I do believe that whatever we had is done, but we are remaining social because we must still finish this job together. That makes it hard, because I was so fiercely attracted to him, still am.

My painter has shown up one day out of five, and claims to not understand what I want from him, with my multi-color scheme. So last night, (even though each wall to be painted was marked with tape) I cracked the can and painted one foot high letters "BLUE" on each wall that will be blue.
BUT, all the new equipment is moved in now, and I am happy. I will take some pics and post later.
My power account has been transferred, and thye said I would NOT need an additional deposit! YAY!!
I am also learning the ins and outs of "minor interior modification" that means, according my sources ,do as little as possible to get yourself open for business, then hit it hard, and do the changes to lighting, and other interior stuff, LATER. Otherwise we are subject to
A. Hire a contractor (can do anything, ANYTHING on commercial space, only a contractor)
B. pay for drawings, to be submitted by contractorto building dept.
C Pay for a permit to install a water heater, and hang a door

Option two, go with what you got and do more a little at a time, and pay a carpenter and plumber.
UMMMM Monty, I'll take door number two!
