alright, so, i work like my financial life depends on it, which it does. i will admit, i absolutely love my job, but the physical toll it's taking on me is becoming really difficult. last night, i went to bed crying due to excruciating pain shooting through my forearm. it was my "carrying" arm - if you will - so that's the best i can come up with to excuse that, but i can't figure out why the pain is completely gone this morning. my knees are falling apart, which they were anyways. i have a doctor appointment coming up and i'm going to try to get a referral for a knee doctor and a chiropractor. i can't be falling apart so early in my life. a more desk-oriented job would be fantastic for the week days. i would love to be able to just work margs part time and not depend on it for the majority of my income.
ending the pity-party, my enrollment in school is official. my loan has been approved, i have been enrolled, and i start the graphic design program at cdia on september. i'm so excited and so anxious, i can't even tell you. i have all these projects i want to do and all these ideas and i don't know what to do with them and how to get them into my computer. it's driving me insane. i can't learn it fast enough and i still have to wait another 26 days to even start. rawr. at least i know i have something besides margaritas to look forward to in the near future ;)
more things to look forward to: knitting/crocheting season. that's right, folks, the hats are back in production. this winter, they will actually be actively on sale. i've already banged out 2 and i'm looking for the best way to start making money with them. part of the profits will - as planned all along - be donated to NEDA. i haven't decided how much, yet (hey, all things considered, this girl needs to pay for groceries) or even how much to charge. in the past year, i've been selling them to friends (..and doctors) for $10. depending on how much i want to donate, i may raise the price. i think the first thing, above all, is to figure out how to sell them. craft show season is approaching, so i may find some local ones and find out how much it costs to set up a table. maybe go in on a table with a friend or two (anyone interested?). it sounds like it's all a little stressful, but i'm really excited planning it all.
before i head out, i would like to make mention of the watson family, neighbors and friends of ours for over 9 years. our families, unfortunately, have had a bit too much in common lately, as mr. watson became very sick semi-recently. he died of cancer this past thursday at only 6o. while i don't know what it's like to lose a parent, i certainly know what it's like to watch such a close family member go through such an illness. honestly, i feel a little guilty, all things considered, but i know that's out of my control. anyways, all my love to you guys. i'll see you in a few days. <3
Falling apart at a young age... sounds like maybe once in a while you really should pick up the phone. The falling apart thing is more myth than you think.
ReplyDeleteBy the by, I just got glasses because I can't see straight - and still can't. Nothing has changed about my life, however.
All is well with you, but you already knew that ;)
You should open a store on etsy.com and sell hats there
ReplyDeleteyeah, that's what i was thinking, actually. i have a lot of friends that sell through there, but we'll see.
ReplyDeletei'm kind of hoping to open my own store through my other blog.
