I've spent the last 24 hours losing my mind about this potential business. Thank God, the Universe, Allah, whoever, for my old boss -- he is my absolute savior in this already! Even if it turns to nothing, he was instantly there to support me -- automatically arranging breakfast this morning and volunteering to go with me to meet the manager tomorrow and check the place out and ask questions. Without him I would be a quivering puddle of fear, anxiety and helplessness!

As for the situation, I emailed a few times with the owner last night. She has already moved out of state, so clearly she's out, but she seemed nice and hopefully reasonable. And speaking withe the manager/baker today to make the appointment tomorrow, she too sounded smart and reasonable. Which is really all I can ask to start with at this point.

Wow. Just wow. There is a very real possibility that I could be the owner and operator of my own cupcake shop in just a few months. Unfuckingbelievable.
