The brain awakens

Today I was achey on the left side, and even resorted to taking a couple of painkillers. It may be the soft bra top I was wearing, which was padded. My new nipple had flattened.

But at least my brain started working again. I started looking at interesting ideas to create an online marketplace for my OH's printing business - although the business is busy this week - I've been berating him for not trying to expand into the personal market, and he snapped back that someone else should do the work. I was more than happy about this because I've always wanted to explore this as a venture but he used to want to keep control if it.

But oh, I procrastinate. It's hard enough to settle because we've got a builder in, making me a studio in the garden, and he's got his radio blasting throughout the dat, and he drifts in and out to make coffee and use the cloakroom. He's a nice enough bloke but I still feel unsettled. I did some dusting and some cooking but could not relax.

I was worried about my father who was having an invasive MRI scan in Bristol, and not having heard from him until early evening, I found it hard to concentrate. Finally he called me on a crackly line to say that they'd only just started back and that the procedure had been arduous but that he felt okay. I was so relieved that I wept and suddenly discovered my appetite again. But I know he will be very very weary from the whole experience throughout the weekend.

I finally found the ability to get down to business when I heard the radio switched off and the blue van reversing up the drive. I started searching on the web in earnest. I found some fascinating products already in the marketplace in America, and made notes on how they could be replicated for the UK market. And these thoughts led to other ideas, which I need to harness and make into a map. I find that I will think of something with merit, only to completely forget it moments later. It's crucial to write it down while it's fresh. Even if I feel as though I couldn't possibly forget it, I do. Also I researched some domain names and there were done considerable surprises available.

Only problem is, that now I have switched the brain on, it's feeling rather difficult to switch off.....
