I am trying to forget about business this weekend, not think about projects, marketing, money. It’s impossible, but I’m trying. I’m in the hard stage.

The last couple weeks, business has been hard. Not bad — with God’s blessings business remains good. But there are times when the sheer mass of business — decisions, demands for your time, challenging subcontractors, etc. — makes business hard. At the moment, I feel about my business like I feel about my dog when she eats my cashews. I still love her but would like to strangle her.

In the last two weeks I’ve learned varying exhaustions. There’s an exhaustion that makes you feel depressed. One that actually makes everything seem very clear. Another exhaustion makes getting the mouse to put the pointer where you want it impossible.

When I get on my wife’s nerves, I like to joke, “I’m a hard man to deal with.” Right now, I’m a man dealing with hard.
