Last spring, after my side business became far too much to handle (and was causing significant problems in dh and my relationship, mainly because I was working out of our spare bedroom and appointments with clients were starting to take over our household. Wow. Typing that out makes me realize what an asshole I was.) Here's a post about it.
So now, 8 months later, armed with an office with an outside entrance specifically set up for me to meet with clients, I went and met with the owner of the bridal shop today to ask to be re-added to the list of people to whom they refer brides. The owner was so happy, she actually cried.
I was fully expecting to be told to go be told to fuck off. I am very happy about this.
