Life Got More Complicated

Well, I got my home-based business license from the city of Pleasant Grove. Thank you very much to the city employees for getting it to me faster than I expected. But here's my hang-up: I'm going to be moving in about five weeks. (That is, unless life gets even more complicated.) So do I start up the business and commute? That kind of trashes the whole work-from-home scenario I was liking so much.

Another wrench in my plans: Pleasant Grove is now accepting proposals from recycling companies to see if curbside recycling is feasible in the city. This is great news! Curbside recycling is wonderful because the programs can handle so much more than just paper. They are easier for the customer because you don't have to bundle your recyclables--you just toss them in the blue trash can. I hope Pleasant Grove offers curbside recycling soon and I hope lots of people sign up for it. It doesn't even really mess with my business plan very much because Unpaper Route is "a recycling solution for small communities" which I had originally intended to be apartment, condo and townhome communities--places where curbside recycling isn't an option anyway.

Really, I just have to decide if I want to go ahead with this or completely move on--physically and emotionally. I'm not sure what I think. What do you think?
