First, I made it from mid morning yesterday- to this morning without a pain pill!! HUGE accomplishment. I just took one because the arm is hurting this morning- I think rigormortis sets in overnight.
I have a calendar on the fridge that we write down all events on, and today it says 'Camping'...we were supposed to go, but have decided to focus on getting the wood processed instead as we have 5 cords to deliver. (we may go tomorrow night since DH is off Monday, but we will see).
We put the start-up costs for the business on credit cards (ugh). We bought a few of the wood loads and a dump trailer (hydraulic lift), DH needed a heavy duty chainsaw, plus all the gas that hes using.
He finally has a cushion in the business account to start paying it all back...but having those credit card balances is making me crazy...and it will be a couple of years before we pay it all off. We did get another (albeit 'green') load of madrone this weekend ($650) and DH was able to pay that in cash. But that load wont see profit until next year since it is still green.
I just know how hard we've worked to have no CCs and now we have 2 with sizable balances and a loan from FIL to boot.
But the old adage 'you have to spend money to make money' keeps playing in my head as I work to resolve my anxieties...I know DH will make this work..I just HATE that drasted debt.
