Enough

The past few weeks it's hit home for me that my sales this summer aren't going to be quite what I had hoped they would be. Most markets are down about 10% compared to this period last year, though Lake City is down by 50%. Wallingford is about the same as it was a year ago, and Queen Anne and the U District are up a bit, for reasons that have mainly to do with location and visibility. But my overriding realization is that, even though my sales won't meet my projections, there will be enough. If things continue as they have been, I'll still be able to cover my expenses, support myself, pay my taxes, save a bit for the winter, and pay off what I borrowed to move into my new kitchen. And that's what really counts.
