Wow...Tuesday again.

Well it's Tuesday!  I feel like I deserve a cookie for surviving Monday.

 

I don't know...Monday was just a very long and tedious day on so many levels.  Any day you start by passing out is not going to be a good day.  I really need to go to my doc and have something done about my unresolved monthly troubles, because I am so obviously still anemic and this ongoing problem has me really concerned.  I'm actually wondering if I should just get the hysterectomy & be done with it all.  *sigh*  Been holding out, but eh...it might just be time to bite the bullet.

Still, I had way too much stuff that needed doing & passing out was not an option, so after orange juice and a nice hot shower I was human enough to get busy and get things rolling.  Stuff I did:

*folded laundry
*mailed orders
*bought more colored tissue paper (I gift wrap every order with tissue paper...isn't that cute?)
*exchanged sad three-year-old phone for shiny new skinny phone at Sprint store (my old phone was 2 inches thick & had an external antenna...LOL)
*picked Char & friend up from school, took her shopping for sneakers
*Office Max for work supplies (going through shipping & mailing supplies like crazy)
*took Char & her friend home, fed them large amounts of orange juice & scrambled eggs, drove them to rugby practice
*Gas for car, wash car
*Greg picks Char up at practice, I feed everybody
*Watch Heroes

And yeah, that was enough.  I like my new phone, it's red and small and neat.  I used it to call my sister after Heroes...I need help with advertising.  Nancy says Facebook has a great deal & she said she'd help me set it all up.  It'll be an investment but I think it's a great idea.  I already spend almost $200 a month on Etsy showcases with limited results, so I think going outside of Etsy might be an interesting alternative.  So, we are doing that tomorrow & I'm pretty excited about it.

Twenty four hours have passed since I opened it and the ShopHandMade store is being less than stellar.  I'm not impressed.  I took a good look...it seemed to be well populated with talented artisans at first glance but actually they are all like me.  Their primary store is on Etsy & this place is an experiment; we all have just a few items in there.  Oh well...everything has its start somewhere so in time this might get better.  I'm not holding my breath though.  *grumpy*

Char has started her Rugby season.  For some odd reason she decided this was the sport she wanted to do, so I'm encouraging her.  I'm a little worried 'cause it seems like a rough sport.  She's pretty tough though; small & fast which is perfect for the "back" position.  Her first practice went really well & she was high on endorphins all night, which was adorable.  Her season is going to be brutal; two hours of practice every day with games almost every weekend.  This weekend there's no game, just a HUGE clinic I have to drive her to in Orchard Park...thousands of kids will be there.

I've never seen her this excited about a team sport before.  She had a few years of track (and she was quite good at it...very fast!  Ran a great anchor leg in the 4 X 200 relay that was simply amazing) but she hated the pressure.  This seems like something she really wants to do though, so I'm all for it.  Just hoping she doesn't get her nose broken or anything drastic...  o_O"

I have things I ought to be making but I am so tired.  As Scarlett O'Hara says; "Fiddle dee dee.  Tomorrow is another day."

Can menopause be much worse than what you're going through right now?

...is the question. :o

Oh heck yes...menopause sucks. Hot flashes and night sweats and mood swings, not to mention weight gain & a number of other embarrassing side effects. I'm dreading it.

Already get those and I'm 25. Err... 26. The hot flashes and night sweats I mean. Stupid hormones! ::shakes fist at body::
