Some exciting news!
I'm going to keep this short and sweet, since I am not always one to go into great detail about lots of things, but this will sort of help explain why I've been a little MIA online lately. ;)
Come October, Joe and I are expecting our first human kid! Reo's going to be a big brother. :P
I've still been working my business AND the part-time job at the shipping store, so needless to say I've been pretty exhausted lately. It's been hard to juggle everything but I'm getting there. The shipping store, thankfully, is about to get a little bit easier as the girl I'm helping to cover for is about done with her seasonal work so my hours there will ease up. I'm going to gradually move out of that job, too, since according to the doctor I only have about two more months of being allowed to lift things over 25 pounds, and, well, that job requires a -lot- of lifting.
No, my business is not going to end, nor am I giving up my sewing room to the sprog. This is something I've been working toward so I -can- work from home while attempting to rear a child. It won't be easy, I know that much. But I've gotten some advice from others that have worked from home and even sold at conventions all while bringing up a baby, so I know that it -can- be done.
That said, most of our plans for this year have not changed. We're still planning our summer conventions, and some of the fall ones, too. AWA is highly unlikely, but, we're applying for it anyway and will transfer our table to next year if need be. We're still GO for Khaotic, Animazement, Ancient City Con, and all of the others we'd planned through August. :)
So, yeah, that's what's been going on lately... the weakened immune system and extreme fatigue have meant some delays in work, but I'm finally to a point where I'm starting to feel human again, so this week and next I'm catching back up. (Working FWA and Momo was a -challenge- and one that I needed the rest of the week to recover from!) I'm probably not going to post much on this subject until the time comes for me to take a bit of a hiatus right before the baby arrives. I don't want to bore you guys with all those mundane details you can find by looking it up on Google, anyway. ;P
I've got an incredibly busy day planned today, so, better get to the grind!
