Too much electricity and massage

I caught up with a client I had not seen in about a year! I love it when I see returning friends. They know me and what to expect, so there is no tension in meeting someone new. We got caught up on our lives then the pampering began! I tend to have more of a friendly, personal service than most therapist in the massage world. But then again, I am not just selling an expensive massage, but a personal service.

I had some major electrical work done yesterday. Yikes, I had not budgeted for that. I use a lot of different heating elements with my spa treatments, and occasionally the breaker would blow! Now that I am starting to offer couples sessions, it means I would use more elements, so I had to get this fixed. I also had additional outlets installed for outside. I'm planning ahead for the hot tub! My goal for the fall!

I had a couple wanting a session tonight and I could not find anyone to assist. I have men therapist lined up to help, they all were away for the weekend. But not enough females to help with couples massage. Gosh, I hated turning down the business. I also lost out on a gift certificate opportunity due to the electrical issues I was having. I missed her call when the electricity was turned off and she was down the street. I did not get her message until hours later. I apologized profusely, but I have not heard back from her. The perils of opening a business alone. I do hope to have help soon as business warrants! By the fall a part-time employee. Because I offer a private and personal business, I cannot advertise my address. I live on a busy street and I don't want people coming to the door thinking it is a walk-in business.
