long overdue post
Wow...I haven't posted in here since July.
So many things are different in our lives since then.
To make several long stories short......
-In July I got to spend a month with my brother and his wife when they came home on leave from Germany. They are two of the most awesome people I have ever met!!! My brother is for sure my new hero. They will most likely be coming back to the states next January. They will be living at Fort Polk in Louisiana.
-On Oct.4th my parents lost their home in a massive flood. It was a total loss. They ended up staying with me until Christmas. It was such a hectic time for all of us. I didn't have much access to a computer during that time as I gave up my bedroom and modem to my parents. They finally moved back into their bungalow after it was remodeled. The main house won't be finished for several months yet.
-Christmas was busy, busy, busy....as always.
-After Christmas I started in on tax stuff, and that has occupied all of my time since then. I am almost done with it now....a few more receipts and done. I am waiting for one more thing in the mail and then I can file.
-Just found out that my dad has cancer again. It's in a really bad spot behind his stomach in his back. I won't know much more until more tests are done. He's had cancer twice before, but this one worries me a lot. It just feels different in my guts.
-And finally, I've come to the conclusion that I am never going to open a bead store ever again, so it's time to sell all of my inventory. I haven't decided if I want to put it on Ebay or Etsy....there's sooo much of it that I'm kind of leaning towards Etsy because of fees being smaller...but on the other hand more people shop ebay...hmmm...it's a quandary. Either way I have to do a complete inventory first so I know exactly what I have.
I also decided that I need to re-home my Cockatoo Mercedes. I just don't have what it takes to give her what she needs, and it's unfair to her to keep her here. She needs so much more attention than I have time to give her. I feel like a complete loser for letting her down, and I do love her, but I know I can't do it anymore. She is the sweetest bird I've ever had.
Ok...well that's all for now I guess. I know I'll think of more later.
back to bead inventory...yeah..LOL!
