I’ve taken 2-3 days off at a time, planning to take the week off after Christmas. I took a vacation in 2013 to California. I’d like to take some more 5-6 day stay-cations and day trips but I always feel like I have to catch up with other things or can’t really afford it.

My business etiquette has been suffering as the business dwindles too, I’m not motivated to make small talk with the random passerby and the thousandth person who wants to see everything up close and touch it but in the end ‘has to think about it’.

Currently, invested about $25,000 USD in the past year that is just about a total loss. It’s not devastating but regrettable in hindsight where I say “I knew I shouldn’t have done that.”
