Good Morning everyone! It was a long day yesterday. I got all the laundry folded and more stuff is up on Facebook Marketplace. I have a lot lol. The goal though is to get everything up and just leave it up while I put all this crap in the shed. Easily gotten to if it sells but not in my house for the holidays. I got about half of the computer work done and that's okay. I'll make some of it up today. I'm doing pretty well in general so I won't complain. Last night I started the new ARC from Carrie Ann Ryan. I'm almost finished it which means that's another set of reviews that I need to do. I still need to do the other set for Inked Devotion but it's okay. I'll get there. Today it's mostly just computer work. I can't work on my books until my husband fixes my one shelf. So in that way I'm pretty stuck. No writing yesterday but maybe today. Things with the Christmas story are going well and I can't wait to finish it. I'm closer than I originally thought, I just need to get there. What is everyone else up to today? Is anyone as busy as I feel like I am lol? *picture from google

We've been advised to shop early for Christmas because of shipment issues due to the pandemic. I need to figure out a way to get some money coming in to pay for this holiday. I also have to figure out what to buy. I have been working at getting my disability (25 years later) and I have a 370 page document to go through and write little explanations for when I have my hearing. I've been hanging out on Instagram a lot and winning a LOT of books. My TBR shelf is growing out of control but I am thrilled with all the books because I am such a book addict. I have also been giving Random Acts of Kindness books but had to be a hold on that. Too much money out with none coming in. I wish I had things to sell on Facebook Marketplace.

I'm sorry about your disability. I've had family with the same issues. People are always quick to diagnose the disabilities...usually, but they never want to help once it's been established. I'm the same way lol. I love all my books and the last few months have just been so busy I haven't had enough time to catch up. I probably won't until we get back from Maryland in January and even then it probably won't be until February. Sometimes life is a pain lol. I have things for Marketplace because I don't donate anything that we grow out of or stop using. Just instead of having a yard sale it goes on Marketplace. I did better before the pandemic but lately it's hit or miss.

@JordanLader We have so much stuff that I have had no choice but to donate boxes of stuff to the Salvation Army. I still have piles of stuff that needs to go. On top of that my daughter has been picking up stuff on FB MarketPlace AND on the side of the road and refinishing them. I'm talking about whole bedroom sets as they are about to start building their new home and sure as heck won't be able to afford to furnish it so refinishing old stuff has become a great hobby for her. I told her she should make it a side hustle.

@patgalca She should. I have a friend that loves to do crafts and she's been asking me to put a few up for her. It's hit or miss but then again everything is right now. You can make decent money and spend next to nothing.
