The day started pretty well at the shed shop. Sadly, by noon, we just walkers and lookers. Luckily, we closed strong with a sale. Yay!!!
I am tired, though. I woke pretty early. Then, being out at the shed shop in the heat. Because it was hot!!! It has just made me very tired. Plus, I think I didn’t drink enough water. That is never good. I am going to bed soon. Tomorrow will be a good day! Night and sweetest of dreams all! Kitt ☺️
Very exciting!!!!!
The interview went really well. I was so nervous. There were 6 other people plus me. All on this Zoom call. I hoped I did well, and I must have because we got one of the 90 square feet chalets. Yay!!!!!
When we got the news, I was so excited with a hundred things going through my head. But since then, I have become quiet. I just realized while I was getting ready for bed that I am low-key freaking out. 🙃
What am I going to do now….
What if this doesn’t work and I lose everything…
How am I going to make enough without working more hours at my job…
All these ‘what if’ are running through my mind. I know it is normal. I know I would probably have a mini freak out. I just wish it wouldn’t happen.
Do I know if all will be well? Of course not. Do I know I will do my best? Of course I will. Even if I was working a full-time job, all those ‘what if’ questions would still be there. Logically, I know this. Sadly, that part of me that likes to freak out at change is kind of going crazy right now.
I decided when I realized I was freaking out that since I know what is happening, I will allow myself this time to freak out. Then tomorrow morning, after bagel time, I am going to go through the contract, make my list of things to get done tomorrow, then go see the chalet we got. As far as my hubby and son will be concerned, all is good and positive from me.
On the other hand, tomorrow night, I may freak out a little on here to you guys, gals, and everyone in-between. But I do truly believe it will be mostly good things I will be sharing. But honestly, I need an outlet. Thank you, WordPress, for this outlet!!! ❤️
Besides the great news that we got the chalet, today was mostly good in general. Work was easy. Di kept texting me silly 🤪 and not so silly to keep my mind from fixating. She is awesome like that. I am on season three of The Dome. If you have read the book, they are nowhere near the same. But both are good.
I am going to go to sleep now, though. Let my freak-out about the chalet be worked through while I sleep. 😆 🤣 😂 Good night and sweet dreams all!!!! Kitt ☺️
And if I wasn’t already in bed, I would do a happy dance. I have had this blog for 1 year now. Thanks, word press, for telling.
I am impressed I stuck to it. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been way satisfying.
I am realizing the weather is making me fight my depression more, which means I haven’t done nearly enough of the business stuff as I should. So,
I have decided to try and work through it. It is not easy, but I will do it. I will not allow my depression to get so bad that I can barely function most times.
My best news for the day is I got 3 years of city taxes done and paid for. Plus, the nice lady there was very helpful and made the experience a good one. How often can you say that about paying any taxes. 😆
Hope everyone else had a smile today as well. Kitt ☺️
Wow, one whole year of blogging. Way to go me!!! I started this with Di, I miss doing this with her, but I understand that with the issues that came up, it wasn’t feasible for her anymore.
It isn’t always easy to post every day, even with the daily prompt, but I made myself a promise to, and I have kept it. Even if I have only made it with a minute to spare.
Posts may not be the most exciting, but they are honest. I am doing my best here and in my life. Because of that, I feel that being honest and true here is important. Silly, sad, scared, mad, they are all emotions I feel and believe in sharing.
Life is what we make of it. Every day, I am trying to do better. Thank you, everyone, for coming along on my journey. Hope I entertain at least a little! Kitt ☺️
My daily posts are all about this!!! Kitt ☺️💓
Woke up to my hubby coming to bed and this open and no post. But I made it. I will write more with my good news tomorrow. Night all. Kitt
From my family to yours…
Hope your day was filled with love. Kitt and family!
My hubby just woke me up. I fell asleep in my recliner. I didn’t even realize I was that tired. Sure, I have been up since at least 445, but I had no clue I was so tired. I had just been talking to him. Lol 😆 🤣 😂 oh well, I have work tomorrow anyways so I am going to bed.
Today was a weird day. Good, but weird.
My eldest son messaged me, telling us he got an apartment. Which makes me 99% happy. 1%sad because now I know he is definitely not coming back home. I knew it was a small Itty bitty chance, but I was clinging to it. Not anymore. But my happiness in this instance is that he is not living with them anymore. So I am taking the win either way. Still wish he was closer, but hey, a win is a win.
Like all mornings since my decision to take our crafting business more seriously, I made a toe this morning. 🙃 Let me reiterate that it takes me between an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and 45 minutes to make 1 toe. And that is just for the base, not to make them look anything like dead. So I get done, pull it off, and the stupid thing tore. It tore o bad we couldn’t save it… 😔 😪 I was so aggravated. It was a waste of an hour and a half.
Besides that, my youngest and I went to our local farmers market and got some stuff and went to a few stores to get what I forgot a few days ago.
A good day overall, just weird. And I can’t really tell you why weird. I just felt weird. Either way, good, weird, it doesn’t matter. I am tired and going to bed early tonight. Good night, everyone! Kitt ☺️
I hope more smiles come with the more sunlight every day!
Today, my son and I went to many stores. But one of the things we did get, finally, were his and my older sons nut crackers. They are so cute. My youngest even got one for his girlfriend. And by him, I mean me, of course. Lol
The pirates are for my youngest and his girlfriend. The cowboyesk one is my oldest son. I hope he will like it, if not, I like it. Lol
I got up so early again, and I get to do the same tomorrow. Good night, everyone. I hope you have a great night. Kitt ☺️
I write about how I want my crafting side hustle to be a sustainable business for my family so I can quit my job. Luckily, my son was a voice of reason, and I have not quit my job. Instead, I have been doing a lot of thinking.
1. I am am lazy. I just want something handed to me, and then I will work to keep it. This is who I am. Is it great to be this way? Probably not. But it is who I am. Don’t get me wrong, I work for things I want. Very few things are ever actually handed to us. But that does not negate the want of it to be that way.
Well, this craft business was basically handed to me. But I have not been holding up my end of the bargen to work my best for it. I have worked enough to have as a side hustle.
2. I don’t want a lot. I want enough to pay my bills, sustain my business, and be able to quit my job.
See the issue by looking back at 1.
3. How can I do this… this is where I have to decide what I actually want versus need and what I am willing to do for it. It is also the hardest part. Back to my laziness issue.
4. After talking to my son, though, he is so smart, I have realized I was looking to big picture. It is kind of weird since I am a huge fan of the mini goals tends to build a strong plan.
So I looked around, mentally and figuratively, to see where I stood. I needed to see what we sell best and where they sell. But I also needed to decide if what isn’t selling us due to my not actually trying, or they just didn’t sell in that platform. Honestly, it is an eye opener when you actually want something and take it seriously.
5. Very important was when I feel most creative. I wake up around 5 on my days off and 3 on days I work. Days I work, I do way less for the business. But days I am off, I have been doing a lot by 8:30am. It’s not always easy.
Like today … I thought of many reasons not to make a toe. But while they were all valid, they also weren’t really true. I am sore. My foot needs a break from the angles, and so many others that cam to mind. But reality, I work tomorrow, I won’t be contortions my body. That right there negates half the base. Why not, I came up with. So, I am making the toe while doing this post. Yay me!!!
That’s what I have been working on. During that time, I am proud I have been pushing through and not allowing my laziness and excuses to override my wants.
I hope this has made sense. In my own head, it makes perfect sense. But what we understand for ourselves is not always relatable or transferable to others.
So that’s my mind dump. At least right now, it is. Whole writing this so many more things go flying through that I haven’t sparse out from need, want, over excited, and so much more.
If you made it to the end, thanks for reading my breakdown of my mind dump. Kitt ☺️
Bad Kitt, I almost forgot to do my daily post. I am literally sitting in my recliner, trying not to fall asleep and failing. My son just came down and kind of woke me up. I have been up for a while now, so I am really tired.
But how awesome is it that my 18 year old son cones downstairs to get a kiss and hug from either me or his dad for bed time. He gives the other a kiss and hug when they go to bed. He is so awesome.
Today’s plans were mostly ruined by snow. And due to snow, horrid drivers. We were supposed to do our annual family Xmas shopping and go out to dinner. Instead, it snowed and made the roads a mess, and people forget how to drive here when that happens. You would think snow for 6 or more months a year would make smarter drives, but nope.
We are going tomorrow instead. But I also need to do the hone food shopping as well. So tomorrow is going to be a long day as well.
But I did get other things done, so that was good. I will have more things on the etsy site soon. Gnomes and stuff. Got all the pictures and sizes of the gnomes done today.
Though we didn’t do the original plan, I was still busy. Hope you all had a good day, too. Kitt ☺️
Today’s writing prompt was a little dead on with what I have been thinking about the last few days. What I thought my life would be like compared to where it actually is. What I thought was nothing like what is real, though. But it’s not a bad thing.
I believe everything happens for a reason. Sm I always satisfied with that belief? Not even a little. I used to blame others for why I didn’t do things or have certain things or pretty much anything in some regards. But this year, this year, I am learning that I am to blame. In this case, blame is not actually a negative aspect. It’s a learning curve. I am still learning and adjusting, too.
This year has been full of eye-opening thoughts, feelings, and memories. It’s been scary and exciting all at the same time. I believe the new year will give me even more invites to behold. The new question becomes, will I learn from any of it. Kitt ☺️
Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?
Honestly, a year ago, most things were different in my life, and yet the same. A year isn’t a lot of time, yet it can be so long as well. Am I in a better or worse place than I thought I would be a year ago, no. I am just in a different place than I thought. And though I might have hoped for different things a year ago, with the way I believe, I am where I am supposed to be. That is not always an easy thing to accept. Kitt ☺️ ☺️
That’s me after I post this. What can I say; it’s been a busy day. A good day, just busy. Got a lot done, though, so that was good. Tried to lay down for a little while, but that was a busy. Still a good day. Plus I made a cake. Okay it wasn’t from scratch, but still yummy.
Hope your day had some smiles as well. Kitt ☺️
