 7:04pm and I need to go to the gym and I never want to, ever.


Ok day. Late start because of parking restrictions.  Got some shirts made, and FOUND positives from Corcoran days, to print reprints this week.  Heard from G Town and they need more prints, which always is nice to hear.


Distracted by twitter, which is normal.  Made apt with JM for tomorrow, which is always nice to look forward to.


Now must go to gym

This split in 2 after I hammered the hanger on back.  I glued it to back together, and now I consider it special

 Another day, another post.  Let's see if I can keep this going.

Finished up printing and shipping a few reprints, and then went to SM union Market last minute after lots of hemming and hawing about how to logistically get all these diddly things to 4 separate shopmades.  Finally decided to forgo GTOWN and hit union market.  


Got screwed out of at least $4 on metro, boo!  Got there quickly and discovered 9without surprise) that they practically needed no cards, the rack was pretty full.  And not with the B designs, either.  Depressing part is that last drop off was JAN 2!  Yikes, sales there are just terrible.  Disheartening to see the print stragglers that I never can seem to refresh, and the cards in the furthermost corner of the store, hidden away.  UGH.


I ended up taking back about 40 cards (not dropping them off) and emailed Becca with a plea to move the rack to the main store.  Hope she is willing.  Walking back from the metro I had the familiar misgivings and frustrations.  Maybe I should just talk all out!  I always get so discouraged by that location.  Then I end up doing nothing.

Well - I must get more engaged. And stay positive.

 Time to come Home to the blog and check in.   

It's been a tumultuous month getting sick with a bad cold, and having a very very slow recovery.  I always trick myself into thinking life was golden BEFORE I got sick, but the truth is I was at 75% probably, so getting sick just set me back.  Anyway, having low energy and anxiety and losing days to sleeping just makes EVERYTHING worse and hard to come back TO.

Got through taxes this week.  Got through commissions awhile ago, and got Pixies tees out.  So I have accomplished something.  There is just always a pile not being attended to at all, and that is just how I like to live apparently.  The never ending to do list with the same to dos.  Somehow I will get to them, or just decide I'm not doing them.

Feeling down about work (lately) but was SUPER creative a few weeks ago, and still am sort of.  Ideas were pouring out and I couldn't keep up.  Such a great feeling, to be creative, and to feel happy with myself. 

Anyway, the solution to all my problems is ALWAYS to stay positive, and keep trying.  So here I am, writing again on my blog, hoping it's a positive step towards checking in with myself, recording my feelings, being honest, and moving forward, creatively and with purpose.
