Good things are afoot

My friend and I have started a perfume business and it's doing surprisingly well.  It's also surprising that I've started a perfume business.  It started as a joke and now it's a source of income.  So, you know.  That's good.

This isn't a Grumpy Post, though.  This is a Post, Interrupted. I know how things work, you see.  If you're waiting for something and begin to feel impatient, start a project. It could be anything: Paint your nails, build a canoe, blog, whatever. The second you really start to get into the project,  the thing you'd been waiting for in the first place will be ready and then you'll be annoyed all over again.  Now you're wishing the thing had taken just a tiny bit longer because you just want to finish that last bit of
