So......A realty sign went up in front of the quilt shop this week, and apparently caused quite a stir. If you're wondering what the deal is (and even if you aren't) here's the scoop (the super condensed version, anyways):
I no longer live in Deary. Last year was quite a year for me, and due to several very big life changes I moved to another small town about 30 minutes from Deary. This happened in August of last year, within the same 2 week period that I also started a new full time job in Moscow, which is 30 minutes from Deary as well as 30 minutes from my house. (Picture a big triangle, with my house, Deary, and Moscow each at a point of the triangle)
I have spent almost every weekend since then driving back and forth between my home and Deary. I have spent Monday thru Friday commuting between my home and Moscow, and often (every evening for the most recent 2-3 weeks) I have driven the entire triangle every day, as I go to Moscow in the morning, to Deary after work, and then finally home.
It has not taken me too long to realize this is a pace I do not want to keep up with. Long story short, either
(1) I don't keep my full time job (not really a choice, can you say "health insurance"???)
(2) I don't keep the quilt shop, or
(3)I find a way to move the quilt shop closer to my home or my job.
So, I guess you can figure out which one I have chosen. I AM NOT selling the business, only the location. I hope to find a super awesome location in Moscow as soon as the building in Deary sells. While I love the atmosphere of my current location, and I am thankful to have had it available to me for the past few years, if I want to make the quilt shop work for me long term I need a solution better than running myself into the ground.
