I wake up feeling like I gave so much to do. Which I do have a lot to do. But at a certain point in the day, my mind goes off line. But not in a quiet way…. No… That would be too nice for me. Instead, it starts randomly jumping from things I need to do that day to things that just need doing to things I gave done to things I have dismissed to needed to be done. It’s like a constant loop. It’s so annoying.
But I digress… lol
I have been getting more things done, though. Or it just feels that way, at least. There is a lot to make before May. But it is already almost done with March. That’s probably why my brain is being this way.
But for tonight, I say good night and hope for sweet dreams for me and you. Kitt ☺️
I learned an odd fact that I probably never needed to know. It was so shocking I made a post about it. Look up Sea Cucumber on my page. It’s just a little random shocking fact. 😲 😲
I got 7 of my babies clothed, I will be finishing them tomorrow, and I will take a few pictures.
I tried to print some pictures of my products at work. I never have printed anything in color. The one time I tried, the color printer wasn’t working. Now I need to go to the library and see how much to print the pictures twice. I hope it’s not a lot.
We have fajitas tonight. Chicken, peppers, onions lettice, sour cream, rice, and salsa. It was so yummy!!!!
I am, of course, falling asleep while writing this. Heck, I just had to erase a bunch of ‘u’ since that is where my finger was when my eyes closed. Which they did again. So on that note, good night, sweet dreams, and may your night be filled with smiles 😃. Kitt ☺️
Busy day today, but it was a good day. I got a lot done, and I’m very proud of myself! Got a toe made, painted some dragon scales, mode podged a dragon egg, and finally remembered to go through our crosses we sell. Plus, I took the hubby to ECG testing, and we made dinner.
Those too….
It is so much work but totally worth it in the end.
Now I am getting ready for bed. I woke up early, and now I am just tired. Tomorrow is a slightly more and less busy day so I think that is good too. Hope everyone else had a good day as well. Night and sweet dreams all! Kitt ☺️
I tried to make a toe today. Luckily, I noticed a rough ridge in my toe, so I had to file it down. There is no toe making for me today. I did get other things done, so that was good.
Hubby called the place that’s going to do the ultrasound of his neck, and somehow got an appointment for tomorrow. Yay!!!!
My hubby’s friend did the most amazingly shocking thing today for us. She bought a few things from us. A painting, Dragon Eggs, Thing Hand, and a couple of other things. He told her 40 all together. She paid almost 1000. I freaked out when I saw it. I had him message her and tell her. While he was doing that, I was trying to find out if she could cancel it or how I could return it. I just knew it was a mistake. He comes upstairs, hands me his phone, and tells me to read the screen. She didn’t make a mistake. She sent us that on purpose. She said she believes in us. She said she got an amazing raise, plus a bonus, plus taxes in, she wanted to help us realize our dream. I was in tears. How wonderful of a blessing is that!!
I am still stunned, to be honest. She has always been just the sweetest person. My hubby is truly lucky to have found her as a friend. But I have always thought that we are truly blessed to have her in our lives!
On that ubber happy note, I am going to bed now. Night all. May the dreams of happiness find you and bless up. Night all!!! Kitt ☺️
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?
I answered this the first time I saw it a while back. I have a new answer today, though…
My outlook in some areas of life has held me back. I tend to get excited about something, then burn out on it. Seeing the trend, though, has helped me do better with the side business.
I am looking for the signs of burnout. I am looking for things that I can and can not control. I think both are important to know and not only deal with but also accept.
Without the acceptance of my past, I am not going to get strong enough to make this business work. I need to keep my eyes, ears, and mind open. Kitt ☺️
I know I have said it many times lately, but I so want to.quit my job and just make my side hustle a small business. But I know that is not feasible right this second. It doesn’t stop me from wanting it, though. I just have to remind myself that by the end of September, I will know if this side hustle can be viable or not as a small business. 🤔
I sometimes wish I had more of an exciting life to write about. Right now, I just don’t. Though I am amazed you wonderful people read my very morning blog, I also understand others need to see that some people aren’t doing amazing things too. Do not misunderstand me, I think everyone is amazing in their own right. That does not mean others see me that way, which means there are other people out there who feel the same. It’s just nice to see that not everyone has it all together.
Yes, that is how I see my life. There is nothing wrong with that either. That is why I say I am a work in progress. It’s just sad at times that progress is very slow going. 🐌 🐢
Wow, I guess I was more tired than I thought. I literally just realized my eyes were closed. I can’t write my blog post with my eyes closed and my mind bouncing from thought to thought to wait… my eyes are closed when did that happen… again.
Okay, I am going to finish up. Today was good, and I finished almost everything with the inventory of our stuff. Tomorrow, I will go through it all and try to decide about what to make and what to sell where.
Still haven’t taken the egg pi ture. Sadly I just remembered so hopefully tomorrow. Night all! Kitt ☺️🫡
Wow it is already March. This year is dragging at times and flying by at other times.
Hubby hasn’t quit smoking completely, but he did only smoke 4 cigarettes today. Which is a huge improvement then a normal day. I think for how long he has been smoking, to quit cold turkey is setting himself up to fail. So I am good with him only smoking the 4. Plus he said he didn’t want me buying any, so that will limit him too.
Got through all the dragon eggs finally. I am sorry, I didn’t get a picture of the one my son made with the fire emblem for genshin impact. I will tomorrow. We went through and separated out the eggs that have blemishes in them so I can touch them up. There would probably have been less to touch up if my mom would have packed them right. Oh well, touch ups will happen soon.
Otherwise, today was good. Got a lot done and had a yummy dinner, tacos for my son and nachos for the hubby and I.
It’s been a good day. I fixed a problem from work that was there a week ago when I left. Mind you, I left instructions on how to fix it, too. But they didn’t. It’s so weird to me how they can let something show there is money somewhere when there isn’t and sign off on it… okay, tangent starting will stop it now. Sorry, I’m back to my good day.
Got more of my inventory sorted and taken pictures of. This time, it was also my hubby’s paintings.
This one is Phenix RisingThis one is Collision of Light and DarkThis one is Comic Awaking
I love his work. He tells me, “At least with the pour painting and spin art, my shocking working in my favor.” At least he sees the positive. Lol 😆
I wanted to get 5 sales this month on our Etsy store, and today we got the 5th one. Yay!!!
Plus, just to make today even better, I got 500 followers today! I did a post, but I will say it again. Thanks, everyone!!!! You all rock.
See good day all around. Tomorrow will be busy, but I am hoping good too! Night, everyone! Kitt ☺️
Today was a really, really good day. Made a big toe, saw a movie and my hubby and son saw there own movie, went to dinner, came home to an order and a message for a special order, had strawberry shortcake, watched Sons Of Anarchy and now going to bed and doing my daily catch up. It was such a great day with planned activities and surprised sales. Yay!
Hubby and son saw Five Nights at Freddy’s, and I saw The Holdovers. Ant, my son wanted to see FNAF again, and he wanted to hubby, his dad, to see it too, that’s why they saw that.
The Holdovers, I saw. It was really good. It was steady paced and set in the 70s. It’s about a kid who gets left at his boarding school over Christmas break. And though the story is basically predictable, it 8s still told really well with some, omg moments, some cringe worthy moments, some laughs, and some tears. I am glad I chose to see it.
Dinner was just Culver’s, we had coupons and it made it worth having. It was good burgers, fries, and tenders. But best of all was us doing it as a family.
Then coming home to a sale and a message for a custom order, awesome!!! The message was just for a pinky toe keyring. And the reason why was great. The order ended up being for pinky toe earrings, which we had a set, and a pinky toe necklace. Yay! Since we sisnt have another pinky toe, I made one, and now the hubby just needs to finish the making process.
Then spending the rest of the night just vegging with my hubby, and now he and our son are watching there show while I am in bed doing my dear diary post then going to bed since I have work in the early morning.
Like I said, great day!!!! Hope everyone else had a smile or more as well! Kitt ☺️
At work this week they have had Front End appreciation. I only worked 2 days of this. Today’s thing was a pot luck. I knew about it last Sunday. Me and one other person brought something by 11am when I left. I was told more people were bringing things but who knows. When I asked others why they didn’t bring anything, the answer was, I didn’t know about it. I completely believe them though, because the list of activities for the week did not include the pot luck. So that was sad. It would have been way nicer if more people knew.
Either way I still had a good day. My job went easy peasy and that’s always great. Plus i put on an ear and tail set I make and handed out candy to all the associates. The smiles on their faces when they see me when I do that is always great.
Besides that, the day in general was good. I sold a big toe keychain at work and got orders for 4 more pairs of Christmas earrings. So yay to that!!!
At home we got our storm windows put in. They help with keeping some of the cold out during winter. So that was awesome too.
So all in all a really good day with smiles to be had. Hope everyone had a smile today as well. Kitt 😊🩷
I have another Renaissance Faire coming up. I have been very excited and nervous about it since I signed up. I know it has the potential to make me a good bit of money. But here is the issue … I have a lot of other things on my mind now too. It has made it hard for me to focus on making things for this faire.
When this happens to you, do you have a way to snap out of the mind rabbit hole and get stuff done? Or do you just let it run its course?
I get everything I need to get done, done. It’s only anything extra that is getting hard to add to my already turbulent kind. It’s the extra that is the problem. But the extra is what gives me the opportunity to make more money, which I need for bills and holidays coming up.
I’m sorry for the ramble, but honestly, any ideas will help right now. I am still excited and nervous for the next renaissance faire, but my mind is like… Nope I got nothing for anything extra right now. So any help would be great.
