For the exciting conclusion to the plumber saga, he identified the problem, but couldn’t fix it. There’s an electrical issue with the well pump. Today is feeling like a hit the wall type of day. I’ve been running hot for awhile now, with the plumber yesterday, rearranging furniture Monday, and daily push up videos, I’m tired. Mondays and Tuesdays are supposed to be my weekend and I didn’t use it to rest. Don’t expect much else to get accomplished this week, or even next week, I need to slow down. Speaking of not slowing down, I’m also working on this new business idea. I was telling the plumber about starting a cafe and he said next time maybe I can make him a couple of coffee. In my head, my response was, “I don’t know anything about coffee.” Now I see how that would be confusing to people. Coffee is 99% water, a resource nearly free to me. The purpose of coffee is it’s cheap, easy to make, and slightly addictive. My ideal costumers don’t trade money for food, they have time to spend. Holding a drink is an excuse to waste time in a new place. The product I’m interested in is environments, or as The Cornerstone masthead says, “Truth, Faith, Community”. Once in my building, people are subjected to the sight, sounds, smells, taste, and textures that I provide. Of course I want to have good coffee and success in whatever I attempt, but if we don’t see the bigger forces at play, we are at the mercy of their control.
