Hello everyone. Hope you are well on this evening. The past week has been and an up and down week; actually a down and up week, as it started out not so good but than ended up great. Let me explain.
So Sunday we had our second staff meeting. Basically hired all the ppl we wanted and had a group meeting and got everyone acquainted with each other. Monday was back at the banks trying to get more money and sorting out the architect. Tuesday the architect came in and was there all about 5mins and then left to do his thing back at the office. My second last hope for money came and went when the final bank called me and told me that their answer was no. They would not be giving me anymore money. My heart sank. What was I going to do now? I thought about it for a bit and knew I had to do something drastic. I’ve been putting this off and hoping it wouldn’t come to this, but I had no choice. I’ve had something in my possession since I was 14, worth a lot of money. This was the ultimate sacrifice for me. Either sell it and build my dream or keep it and go bankrupt and end up losing it anyway. So….I sold it! When I did I sat in my office and bald my eyes out for about 5 mins, and then moved on. I felt better almost instantly and got on with the project. I now have the money to pay off the contractors and open this Resto. Wed was a new day and I took full advantage of it. I got my drawings and faxed them off to the A.G.C.O. The Liquor inspector was booked for Fri. and I called my food rep to book an appointment to order food. I also ordered my Terminal for debit. I also stopped in to see Paul to order all my dishes and cooking stuff. On the way to my car I threw up for no bloody reason. Stress I guess, even though I felt good. Than I was off to see Paul and order the stuff then home to change into a suit and run off to another meeting.
Thursday was a good day since I got some things sorted. Throughout all this week, I have been having phone meetings with Grace. She even stopped in once on her morning off to go through some things with me. Friday I had the liquor inspection and was very nervous about it. I mean what could this guy check that hasn’t been checked already? Turns out he just needed to clarify what the Fire Marshal and Architect had said and then gave me a little training seminar. It was a good meeting but I’m not out of the woods yet. He has to go to the police to do a back ground check on me. Then send that to Toronto
Jay Dee showed up and we did a preliminary food order. Not to be ordered till next week. The first food order of course will be high. But it is what it is. My terminal showed up too and everything was going to plan and then we realized the terminal was for Sheridan Catering. Booooo… So we had to send it back and start again as a new company.

So that takes us up to tonight. Tomorrow I get my keg fridge back, painted!!! I’m looking forward to that and meeting up with Grace to give her a key. Sunday I’ll take the day off. Then Monday back at it. Only two and a bit weeks. Yikes!!! Have a great weekend everyone and we’ll blog at you next week.
