Good News or Bad News?

It's been one of those days. I've literally spent the entire day on my feet in my production space and I just got home relatively exhausted. I've been so busy with production because we've been getting a bunch of holiday orders including one really large order.

Only I came home today to find that the large order had been canceled because they're just now realizing that the price point doesn't work with their end consumer. On the one hand I'm doing ok because we actually already shipped them 1/3 of the order and they're willing to take that on and I've suggested a similar product with a lower price point so I may still get some sales out of them.

I'm also ok with it because it means I'll finally have a foothold in holiday orders as I've literally only been able to make enough product to fill existing orders and the orders keep coming.

But on the other hand, this obviously means that a decent sized order I had been expecting is now null and void and that's cash I'm going to wish I had come March when orders are few and far between. And I just spent all day on my feet killing myself to get enough product to fill this order.

So I'm not sure whether I'm ok with this change or not. All I know is that I'm exhausted. The good news though is that the work I was planning to do tonight now doesn't have to get done and I'm going to veg and veg and veg.
