A victim of my own success?

I don't know if this getting up early is really working, at least for my health. 

I went to bed at 12:00 last night, which is half an hour earlier than usual. I'm going to try to dial it back to 11:30 from the current 12:30 deadline, which exists because I seem to wake up very early if I go to bed early. 

So I'm getting up early all right: like 6:30. 

For the store, it works perfectly. I can get most of the work done between 8:00 and the opening at 11:00. It's much more efficient and relaxing. 

But the cost of going home and napping most of the afternoon?

I'm hoping I can get back to the old way of doing things this fall, though Christmas will present the same problems. We're getting huge numbers of people in the door these summer months. Sales reflect that, but so does the fact that while sales are up, the amount of money per transaction is down. I don't know what number actually spend money, but it's probably less than half of that. So, yeah, we're hopping. 

No sense hiring anyone else, because I'm still the stock boy and janitor either way. Just have to gut it out, though I've warned Sabrina that without me around, she's in for a shock. (I'm going to volunteer to be stock boy and janitor for minimum wage: but I'm also going to want to leave on lots of vacations, so that might not work for her...)

Oh well, it's better than spending hours watching an empty store, which I spent years doing.
