What's the Hold Up??

I already have my plan of attack; I've been ready for months- So what's taking so long for this grand opening???


Money, naturally. Vexxy is a one-woman show, and I want to keep it that way, even financially. I don't need investors or a loan; I just need a little more time to raise some capital on my own. I was set to go a few months back, but I got sick and had to leave work. Everything I had saved up then went to medical bills (by the way, my new least favorite word is "deductible") and basic living expenses. Now I'm back to square one, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm back at work, and even got a second job to boot. I wish I could say this means I could stock up on materials with my next check, but the truth is that it's going to take me a while to get back on my feet. I should be back on my old budgeting routine in a few weeks, but then I also have some medical bills to pay off as well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a soft opening in two to three months, but I just can't make any promises. Since I've eaten up all my savings, another medical emergency or car troubles or a number of things could set me back again.

However, there is a reason they say that good things come to those who wait. This is my passion, and nothing will stop me from realizing my dream. When life gives you lemons, you throw them right back and tell life to suck it. People will tell you stay positive when you're troubled, but I disagree. I say you have to stay fierce. An insurance company can't take away your brass knuckles. So I can't open Vexxy's doors just yet; it will be all that much more badass when I do.
