the cost of doing business

It’s past 1 am and this is how I’m feeling after dropping nearly 1k for packaging and supplies tonight. Those of you who have gone through the experience of start up costs will probably laugh at me, but I’m feeling numb from how quickly the money was spent: business cards (on the cheap, no less), labels (9 different kinds), boxes, ribbon, tissue paper, packing material…I admit I’m feeling a little pit in my stomach, wondering what the hell we’re doing when we need to be financially careful. I mean 1k is like 1 month of COBRA. Did anyone see the headline article on CNN about the woman who went from steady paycheck to food bank in 2 months? Argh….
Ok, the Golden Girls are on late night TV now. Time to shut everything down and go to sleep.
