Rough night
Winding down from a very busy night at the restaurant.
Winter time is usually slow and this past Monday through Thursday held no suprises. We never managed to even break $1000 in sales for any of those 4 days. This evening we posted an $1800 day, of which $1000 was earned between 5:30pm and 7:30pm. A very hectic, nonstop two hours. Then to top it off, the local highschool basketball team had a home game that finished at about 9:30pm and a second rush hit us just as we were trying to close. The last food went throught the pass-thru at a bit past 10pm and we usually close at 10:30pm. Not tonight. Sigh….
I’ve been feeling sorry for myself again over the past couple of weeks, but I’m determined to shake it and I’ve been digging through my knitting books trying to something to spark my imagination.
And.. My first culinary class tomorrow and I need to be in Portland early, so off to bath and bed.
Oh.. I’ve added a plugin to the blog that adds a graphic list of all available smilies in the comment page. Just click on the smilie and it’ll be added to your comment. Cool, huh?..

Looking forward to hearing about your culinary classes, perhaps they will help lift your blahs away?

It helps me to know that other people are experiencing the “knitting blahs” right now. I can’t seem to focus on any project even though I have several on the needles. Last year was a bad year for me (as I understand it was for you). Maybe this year will bring more positive than negative for both of us.

I hope so, Sheila.
I’m working hard at getting my life back in order, and for the most part succeeding. Spring is coming and my outlook always gets better as life returns to the earth.

Someone recently posted a link to an MSN article about ‘the most depressing day of the year’ based on certain variables. I think technically it was Jan 22, but for me, it was later this week. You’re definitely not alone if there is a formula to determine when that day is! As you are doing though, I am looking forward to spring and new and inspiring projects.
