2 Have you ever gotten into a physical fight with someone?
I'm ashamed to say yes. It was with a disrespectful kid. At this point I blame myself much more than I do the kid. Thank goodness it was a long time ago and I've gotten better (I hope) at setting my anger to the side now.
Yesterday I sold a pair of earrings on etsy. That is a rarity anymore cause I don't promote the shop at all. But it stirred something up in me - it usually does. Made me want to try a bit harder with the shop. Which means putting new things in it. Which means making new things. Which kind of means I need to clean up my studio. It's quite a mess. If I was to have a renewal in jewelry making I need to reorganize things to have a good workspace again. I dreamed last night that I was cleaning my room and there was a gigantic vine all over my room, entwined in everything. In the dream I had decided to keep the vine but I was going to rearrange it and attach it up along the ceiling so I would be like I had a garden above me.
I had a frustrating day for a while yesterday. When I went to print the shipping label for the item I sold I found that my printer was out of black ink and I didn't have a backup cartridge. I am in a program with HP where they are supposed to be keeping track of how much I print and before I run out they should be sending me new cartridges. I checked the website and they had just sent them and I could expect them in 10 days. That is stupid! I "chatted" with someone at the website and it was obvious that they didn't care about my problem very much. I guess I felt like they should send me a new cartridge by priority mail or something - quick! A business can't go 10 days without a printer. Even a little business like mine. An average person shouldn't have to go 10 days without printer ink when they are enrolled in a stupid replenishment program - they get my money every month without fail and now they are letting me down. My next printer is not going to be an HP, I swear. I did finally get my shipping label printed. When Jules got home from work I went over and printed it with his printer. But I still can't print anything at home for how many days?
Okay - switch mental and emotional gears. Today - biking with Candy to Oil City. Another beautiful sunny day. Be present in the day and enjoy it.
