The business doesn't stay at the shop. It follows you to dinner. It's there when you're lying in bed at midnight doing math in your head. Your wife knows the look. She's exhausted and proud and scared, sometimes all at once. And you're not sure how to fix it, because every system you've tried just added something else to the pile.

If this feels like it was written for you - it was.
