something wicked this way comes...

ok, so who's tired of my ... ? anyone? no? I don't know how else to adequately represent the pauses.

anyways...

I may have succumbed to the dreaded ick. It might be the PINK or it could be a cold; or even allergies -- but in any case, I    don't    feel    well.  It's getting into my ear -- as a child I had so many ear infections, I can't even tell you. I feel like I lived on that thick pink antibiotic crap.  And then even in adult hood - have perforated my eardrums due to infection.


This is me...doing the only thing I know to do to try and thwart an infection.

I went home early from work. My first interviewee didn't even bother to show for his interview! christ, kids these days.

The 2nd girl was ok. But just ok. Feeling like shit didn't help my interview skills.

I did wear my cool shirt from Mr. J. Joyce.  It also has his neat-o logo of a scarab on the back of it. He was nice and sent this to me for free. If any readers happen by from syracuse -go see him.


Dad Report: He was still eating his breakfast when I called the first time; called back and got no answer (for a long while).  When I finally reached him, he reported he had been to an exercise class - he's never impressed by it but I am glad they still take him.  They do offer individual exercise "meetings" -- but so far they haven't done that I don't think with him - he would like something more "rigorous;" so I will look into if they can get that arranged.

While we were talking they brought his lunch.  I have tried to avoid the topic of food as I know it is perhaps the worst part of this facility.  We did wind up talking about it today -- and it sounds pretty grim.  I don't fault him for not eating bad food but I do worry this will hasten his end.

The next big thing:

Print recycled labels

Print additional labels for sets of cards

Stop in at Raven and if Heidi is there ask about setting appt. to review cards [I am now less anxious and more excited about this - but now don't want to infect her. dammit.]

Do pricing sheet for retail stores

Dig out Z picture and scan (the next card)

Get permission to use drawing from Z

Set up Etsy Store

Work on logo, and “tag line”

Work on bio

Take better pictures of product

Get well

Fears and Anxieties:

I'm worried people will think that I am using illness as a reason to avoid moving forward. 

I have to say I've been super excited (inside where no one can see) about the possibilities of things. Mainly I have been excited about having something outside of work/house to be involved in and maybe finding some of the parts that seem to have fallen away.  or maybe stuff that I never had to begin with.


The glory that is my man:  Not feeling well enough to join them for a burger out (and VHM didn't feel like I should have to cook if I wasn't feeling well) - he very sweetly brought me a six pack of mini gourmet cupcakes.  I ate three - chai, strawberry shortcake, and something ho-ho like.  Wanted to eat them all but restrained myself.

So de - lish.
