Hi all,
I'm home again finally, actually I have been home for a bit over a week, trying to catch up with everything, including r.c.b., booking flights for the kid to get to college, and sending off some more paperwork for that too, part of the lawn is again more than knee-deep, and things are being wet (d**n it, not tha tI would have had time to get the weedwacker out). I also have a 4 lb Job's Tears order I'm working on, apart from the stuff at work. Haven't found time to replace the mostly fairly simple jewelry yet that I gave to friends and family.
For me this year is one of those where I had to tell somebody at work "but not this year" some time like February or March. The good news is that it doesn't (anymore) look like the job is going away any time soon (and it is mostly a fun job, even if it takes more than 40 hours/week to get it done and sometimes it seems impossible to get done at all
- got to have some challenges :-) , and it does pay reasonably well, I'll admit), but the bad news is that it isn't going to slow down anytime soon. So, I'll be somewhat intermittent, and I'm not sure there'll be any new pictures anytime soon (I know I did promise Kalera pictures of the boro earrings, but I'm not sure I can get that done. As I'm not willing to sell at least one of the pairs this may happen a lot later)
On the more personal side, I'm trying to get over swollen feet above the ankles in spite of my hands still being dehydrated (I know what that looks like), dealing with this, that and the other, including these annoying cats (Kalera, can I have yours for our 3?), my left index finger is still kinda numb but different from before (somewhere between nerve damage in the neck and menopause, could be carpal tunnel or arthritis, I have no idea, the seat in my truck is probably a good start, but I don't know whether I can get a different one - and yes, I do need that truck).
With all this going on I just hope there aren't going to be any disasters any time soon ...
Maren (will be including my URL again when I'm ready to sell stuff again. right now I'm just appreciating you all to be there - even if this will get me a lot more SPAM)
Aloha,
Maren
