Good Morning! It's freezing here and we're in a snow warning over the weekend. I really wanted to be done with winter because I am so tired of being cold. Guess Mother Nature said screw you. Last night was my EMR class and I took yesterday to study. The problem is I didn't finish going through and taking my notes before class because I bought a new study app that is helpful and I was on it for longer than I wanted to be. I did well but I still need to write out my notes from the book, it's just how I learn. Today I need to get some work done and I'll study some more. As of right now everything is pretty caught up so I don't have to worry too much. I finished my ARC last night while I was waiting on class so I have to do the reviews for that. I went to get my next book because I already have it picked out and I can't find it. It's ruining my day and my attitude. My books are like my safety blanket and like it's sending me insane not knowing where this specific book is. I know that no one gets it but it's what I'm going through right now. My puzzle hasn't been touched in days which needs to change. I haven't written and that may be why I'm off too. I express myself through my writing and I haven't done that since December. I made my first canvas sale yesterday and I am so excited. I don't care that it sold to a friend, she loved it and that's what matters. There is someone that is supposed to get a few of the vases my friend made but we'll see. I don't assume until money and product has exchanged hands and the buyer walks away. I've had people that change their mind at the last minute so I don't assume. We're not shipping yet but we did make a facebook page lol. We're talking about Etsy but I think we need to have a foundation first before we start selling with people that take a percentage out. We're also prepping for a yard sale the first weekend of April. There's a lot to do but I think we can do it. My husband said he'll double down and help me this weekend. I keep loosing stuff and my stuff needs marked. Then there's the craft booths that are being offered. One in April in Sparta and one in July in Smithville. We're talking about both but both booths are going to cost us so we have to make sure we have product and that we can afford it. Fingers crossed. So what is everyone else up to? *picture from google

@JordanLader It is good to have you back with us. Congrats on the canvas sale. I would think that a friend bought it it would be more special than if a stranger bought it. The friend really wanted to support you and probably really liked it. I understand what you are saying about people changing their mind at the last minute. That is very frustrating if you really need to sell something. I hate those that say they are interested and then never get back to you. It sounds like you are a person that is prepared and knows what she wants to do. Sounds also like you are very busy no wonder you do not have time to come here.

I don't have time to do much of anything right now and it's driving me nuts. We have friends that are right down the street from us and we've been trying to get together for about three months now. With some luck we're all going out to dinner tonight. I have so much studying to do for EMR before then and over the weekend. Plus there's a few crafts that I want to get done. I want to be not busy for a week...a day...an hour would help lol.

@JordanLader It sounds like you are very busy. I have a friend that every year for our birthdays we go out to eat but since the corona came into our lives we have not gotten together and I miss our time together. It is very hard when you cannot see friends you want to see. I hope you will find time that you can just relax for a week or even an hour or a few days.

@Hannihar I'm trying to make time. I'm hoping that after the first week of April I can catch a breather. That's when class and the yardsale will both be over. My best friend is still in Maryland so I only get to see her a few times a year. I totally get how you feel about not seeing the ones you love.
