Oh boy. SO busy doing absolutely nothing! Had a major cold last week - started feeling sick on Samhain - that totally sucked. I think I have a sinus infection now but I SO don't feel like heading to urgent care - even though I can 'check in' on the internet and they'll call me when they have an exam room for me (how freaking lazy AM I?) and it's all of a 30 second drive away. Blech!
Teaching myself to crochet because I felt like it - used the last of my Tarot reading money from October to get more ribbon and felt for belts and a little crochet kit for myself as well as some beads for dreamcatchers. Made one for myself a couple weeks ago and actually had a night without nightmares, so that's kinda nice! Since the hoops came in a three-pack, I went ahead and made two more and I just have to finish the embellishments on the last one and they'll be all set. I figured I toss them up in my Etsy shop with the belts to see if they move. I'm trying to make Sunday 'belt-day' where I veg out, watch bad horror movies, and make as many belts as I can manage. I haven't sold any, yet, but I'm really hopeful. It would probably help if I had a better color selection, but I'm going through all my 'remnant' fabric now.
Oh! And get this! There is NO fabric store in town! Just a quilting store where the ladies are VERY unfriendly! WTF? No fabric store, and no magic store. How absurd is that? What DO these people do!? And I learned that fabric on the internet is way more expensive than fabric in person, so I might have to drive to freaking PHX to buy my fabrics and magic supplies! So silly, but, whatcha gonna do?
Well, I'll tell ya - I'm still working on setting up my 'magic store' on the internet and in person. Need to finish the paperwork for my business license so I can get hooked up with wholesalers. I figure I'll go ahead and start working with the ones that drop ship until I can get good revenue saved up... IF I ever do.
Still want to try to teach myself watercolors again, but... I have no idea where I'll find the extra time. And some gratuitous whining: My hunny STILL isn't working (waiting on background and drug tests) AND, though he promises to do dishes, he keeps NOT doing them! They're backed up now where I would hurt myself doing them (back/neck/RSI issues) all, so I'm going to have to try to space it out over a few days. And they smell disgusting. ::whines::
I also need to get my butt in gear and start working the tarot site again... I've been seriously slacking off and, worse yet, have actually been getting emails from new customers asking when I'm going to be available! I don't know what's wrong with me! (Well, I have an idea, but it's just a preliminary diagnosis at this point).
AND I'm starting to do that thing where I stay up at night because the night feels so much safer than the day. I've been like that since I was little and it gets worse when I'm stressed. For some reason, the only time I can relax/feel safe is in the dead dark hours of the night and my anxiety gets really bad during the day - which makes me completely unmotivated to sleep when night rolls around, but then I can't get anything done if I'm not awake during the day. Of course, my hunny is also sleeping all day.... and most the night, too. AND his dad keeps stopping by unannounced! I REALLY freaking hate that SOOOO fucking much! ARG! ::breathes::
Whew. So. Hopefully things will start falling into place... at this point I'm taking a 'don't give a shit' approach - let things fly where they will and just do whatever I can manage. Oh, BTW - I've been awake since 5pm on Wednesday and it's 2am on Friday now. There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with me!

Stress like this will raise your blood pressure _and_ your cholesterol levels _and_ lower the effectiveness of your immune system _and_...need I go on? You'll need at least 3 days of down time to fully recover from this.
Go on, now. Make that phone call to the doctor, go get some melatonin and tonite, around sundown, take a tab. It'll take about 20 minutes to kick in. Turn off the lights, the radio/tv, do your bedtime routine, and then get _in_ bed. You need this!!
It was a nice surprise, yepyep!! ^^
hope u get way better! XD
kisses!!
