kittydesadeI am having strong urges to make my third JetPens order in the last two weeks out of sheer stress and while for once it's not a matter of finances keeping me from doing it, I really shouldn't if I want to continue being virtuous. And yet. This week has been as busy as the last two, as stressful because we still don't have a solid commitment from a dye house even though we have several we're talking to, and we just got a large order for that yarn we're not sure if we can get dyed ever again, and there's show stuff going on, and there's smaller but more urgent other show stuff going on for the guild show that's happening this weekend. Because all the people who go to the guild show and see all the handcrafts there are going to get inspired, come two blocks down and into our shop, and ask "Oh do you have materials for thus and so?" and we'd better have them out on the shelf and I want to scream.
I compromised by going down to the local stationary and sundries store, finding a black paper sketchbook in the store (yay!) promptly LOSING MY WALLET IN THE STORE (wtf self??), getting it turned in, getting back to the store because I thought I'd left it in my jacket from when I went to vote yesterday, paying for my art supplies with a very sad tired face, and getting back up to my store thus negating all the good the walk and stress-buying art supplies was supposed to do. But now I have black paper to play with.
... it's the end of the work day and my left hand is trembling, that can't be good.
In the end okay, yes, I did spend money, but I didn't create shipping and I do have the money to spend, and it wasn't awful. I'm just tired. Very very tired. And I want to do more writing and sketching than I have the energy to do. And ugh.
This weekend is the Guild Show, at which we do not have a booth but at which there will be people who then come into our store to buy project materials for whatever they were inspired to make. This weekend is also the last weekend we'll most likely need to keep large amounts of stuff unpacked for the aforementioned people in need of project materials, so that's something. I'm going to be downtown on Sunday anyway for Community Day because it turns out it's safer than Community Day in my own fucking neighborhood, god help me. And then the last week before the Fiber Fair, and then the Fiber Fair, and then THAT will be over anyway. Thank god. And all we'll have to worry about is what to do about the dye house.
Of course in the middle of all of this I also got a ginormous wholesale order because, you know, why should anything be easy. I am so tired you guys. I am really, really tired, it's been three weeks of chaos times one and a half at work, and okay, a week of work pressure and chaos is fine, three weeks plus a cold, PMS, with migraine? I am exhausted. I need a break. I'm not going to get one for another ten days.
Send pretty pens. Or gift certificates to Jet Pens that's fine too.
