All I can do while Loren is trying to get all of my images back for the cards, is wait and do other fiddly tings. Can't go shopping, because I may have to refund the remaining orders that are due to go out on Monday. That will leave us with seeds and stems until October 3rd, which is also the date that I have to pay the IRS by.

Everything. Well, the garden is not hard, and the birds outside, but almost everything else seems soooooo hard. With the pandemic restrictions easing( it's not over, you blockheads!), people are out and about spending money in person and not online. The past two months of online sales have been microscopic. Was saved in may, by a nice birthday present and an order from Sky. June had a lovely order from Ballyhoo. Nothing this month on that level. The last few orders online have been for $15 or under. I have a total of 11 orders for the month. It makes everything else so hard.<br /> Can't afford the insurance payment, can't go and buy fruit and veggies, or some meds. Can't get the car fixed or get any of the many things that I need for the business. I am super grateful that the printer did NOT go tits up. That was a really good thing.<br /> And the show I usually do this time of year completely snubbed me. So that's money that is usually coming in right about now. Anyway, feeling sorry for myself. It won't help. But there it is. Did do a research study for some money and will get a gift card next month for it. Just so frustrated right now!!!<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lintninja&ditemid=36731" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2017-01-02:2698833:36593June of 2022 will...2022-06-27T19:16:17Z2022-06-27T19:16:17Zpublic2go down as one of the suckiest months ever.

She has multiple terminal cancers and has no quality of life anymore. She has gone through the death with dignity process and has the meds to finish her life the way she wants to.

A woman wanted to know where I was located. I told her Seattle. She said she was in Petaluma. Then she asked where she could se my headpieces. I told her that they were only online right now and gave her the ETSY page address. She could not find them. I sent her the direct link to the stuff that I have up and told her that I was making more.<br /> Then she asked me if I was Rebecca's daughter. I said yes. She then went into raptures about how wonderful Rebecca is and how much she loves having her in her prayer group.<br />********sigh**************<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lintninja&ditemid=35807" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2017-01-02:2698833:35491Amazing things happen2021-05-18T01:06:01Z2021-05-18T01:06:01Zpublic0So the past few weeks, well, okay the past many months, have deeply shitty for many reasons.

There were several wonderful peaceful protests going on and then splinter groups came in and started firing fireworks and protesters and throwing bottles at the police. Then the cars got set on fire. And some buildings. Stores were looted and people were hurt. A curfew was called. The national guard have been called to help for the next week.And in all this the real message gets lost. People will only see the violence not hear the message.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lintninja&ditemid=33702" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2017-01-02:2698833:33533Trying not to be racist asshat2020-05-17T19:15:05Z2020-05-17T19:15:05Zpublic2So we found these wonderful turn of last century penny dreadful covers in color.

Today is three weeks since Powell's books received my box of stuff. The application info said that I would hear in three weeks and that decisions were final. Not a word. Now, I know that everything is crazy right now, but I guess I was not aware of how keyed up I was about this. Twitch twitch twitch.<br />That coupled with my machine having been fucked up by the last Microsoft update and not being able to work on any illustrations right now...makes me crabby, I tell you!<br />Also, a package that I have been waiting for since mid April is not here even though it dais that it was delivered today.

The landlord raised the rent by $700 a month. Funny thing how there is less business to support that raise than there was a few weeks ago. So... I will need to find at least two more places to sell the cards. This may be difficult with the looming global economy crunch coming up. I am afraid that we will loose many of our wonderful small shops and the artists that sell to them. Scary times people.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lintninja&ditemid=32090" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
