Plan was to wind it down training wise  and begin to move parts with the gym matting on 11/1 and then for next two weeks move into the new gym with the biggest push being the middle of the month and be rockin and rollin' before Thanksgiving leaving me only the old gym to clean up.   So up until Monday, it was game on.. Then I got the slap to the face.  The lighting is coming out of California  and is still on back order. Proposed arrival is the middle of November so the big push won't be till the middle of December.

Coordinating a large effort like this including people , renting equipment , etc is highly taxing on the brain and body and the let down from the delays leave you one cranky ass old man.  I told the wife it was like the old days before a big meet and the aftermath being a bomb out or less then a PR day. You prepped so much to make it happen and then crappers.  This and the sudden wall I am hitting with the construction company as well.

I think the other thing is the completely unchartered waters we are heading  into. We are going heavily into debt to make this happen.  Plus I feel like I am making mistakes left and right. So my stress is off the charts right now and no amount of brew ha ha-s are helping, xanax are barely taking the edge off, I mentioned I was not sleeping a lot.

But this is the dream I have been working on for close to 20 years.  I remember Dave telling me the only way to learn how to handle stress was to continually put yourself in it. It is another adaptation you will have.   He  has always had sage advice going through many rings of fire himself.   So this is not a complaint , it is just what the moment is giving me. I also realize that a large portion is self imposed pressure.  THen there are the great moments seeing your sign go  up on the building and you giggle and tear up a bit.   I guess this is my hot flashes and cold sweats.
