Merry Christmas!

Messy xmas eve: I backed myself into a marketplace clusterfuck by posting the 2 dog crates that have been sitting at my studio for weeks.  I realized I could just renew old posts, saving me time on taking new pics and writing all the crap out again.  

Got instant DM's right away and it then became a competition of who would get here first.  Then all the FB watching started - - turning into this big stupid distraction, me trying not to miss messages and waiting waiting waiting for people to get here.

I opened one crate (that I hadn't before) and figured out that it's pretty broken, or needs zip ties to stay sturdy.  Big mess trying to figure out a fix, and of course MORE distraction trying to get it to work.  Quickly became obvious that I shouldn't be selling it.

Anyway, 4pm (my deadline that I gave) came and went, and no response.  Meanwhile, I made screens, and one just washed out terrible.  I think my emulsion is old, and not working properly.  Made another, and that one worked.  Mystery that I can't figure out.

Re loaded FB, and all these messages came in from 2 people that came and left.  Some glitch prevented the messages from coming through in real time, so I missed them.

The Free crate lady was still in the area, so she said she was on her way back, which led to another long, frustrating wait.  I finally just gave up and left it outside.  Took the other crate off marketplace.

What a total fiasco.

Made hex a last minute print, and shopped at safeway for stocking stuff.  7pm, and I’m going home.
