We have a signed LOI.

We're supposedly seeing an actual lease on Friday.

Our architect is engaged.

Our interior designer is putting together samples.

We have a website.

We have a landing page.

We have a facebook (in stealth mode) with over 100 posts on it.

We have a Pinterest (in stealth mode) with over 130 articles on it.

We have all of our funding secured, but half of it is from the business that we were going to sundown. Our bank will not extend credit to the business we're standing up, despite 5 years of six-figure credit history and six figures of equity. So now we have to play debasing games related to proving whether or not our house is actually what the county says our house is worth. Which we have to pay for. Of course.

I have never before worked so hard to risk so much. It has literally taken me eight months of 30-40hr weeks, above and beyond everything else I'm doing with my life, to get to this point... and I am so goddamn fatigued that all I can think is "i wonder if it's safe to start chilling that champagne because I'm getting sick of it mocking me from the wine rack."
