This piece of paper controls our lives.

The Doctor's dream since she was a mere 38 years old. So, she's been dreaming of this only for a few months, but once the dream wormed its way into her head, it metastasized, pushing out all other dreams, ballooning out into my world, SkyGirl's world, and crowding various other contractors, landlords, real estate agents, supply salesmen, web designers, x-ray technicians, architects, sign-makers, brokers, bankers, sub-bankers, functionaries, and current employers.

Tonight, we spent multiple thousands of dollars on an x-ray machine. Last night, we talked for hours with a software salesman. We saw floors the other day. We talked to a guy who makes signs. We now have to think seriously about fonts. Very seriously.

In less that three months we should actually be open for business. The other side of this particular coin is that in less than three months the Doctor will be significantly less compensated for her work. And SkyGirl and I will be hapless in our means to pick up the slack.

Less than three months. Christ.

Tell me again. Which one is the patron saint of marketing?
