Happy 4th, and stuff.

I'm no good to anyone because of the crappy mood I'm in, so I'll just say "Happy Fourth of July" & leave it at that.

Oh.  And I know everyone's probably sick of hearing this (but it's my only "bright" spot so there it is)...I'm just SO freaking pleased with my weight loss.  I dropped 5 pounds just this past week.  I feel like I'm eating all the time, so it must be that fancy Chinese diet tea that's doing the trick.  Probably, cycling 12 miles a day doesn't hurt either.  Today, I found a shirt that I LOVE that's been mocking me...a month ago I couldn't get it over my hips.  Today it is HUGE like a very big comfy tunic and halfway to my knees.  

Yay.

Tell me; if one has to scrape up all the coins in the house & put them in a bag & dump them in the CoinStar machine at the grocery store in order to buy groceries...does that mean the person in question loses at life?  'Cause it sorta feels that way.  :-/

No. No it does not. Hon, you know what a bad patch Bob and I hit a few years ago. Collection agencies calling, an engineer who had been out of work for FIVE YEARS and was working in the stock room at Target, the Graves disease diagnosis... It was bad. It was crying in corners bad. We got through it. It SUCKED, but we slogged through. This is a bad patch. This will pass. You're churning out ideas, you're acting on them, you're brainstorming with creative, helpful people who are on your side. You're doing the right things.

I won't say "cheer up" because it does truly suck right now. But do keep working what you're doing, and vent to your friends so you don't blow. It'll resolve if you keep working at it.

And I am NOT sick of hearing about your weight loss. I'm a little jealous to be honest, because I am not getting anywhere with that, and I'm so tired of being fat... So keep yapping about it - I'm living vicariously through you.

Happy 4th. Chin up. Call if you ever need to. Did I give you my work contact? I can call you back and make the Mouse pay for it!

*sigh* Thanks hon, you're a sweetie & I wish we lived closer (I know...I've said that a hundred times).

I'm just blue 'cause it shouldn't BE like this. My work's never looked better. I can hardly afford the supplies to make the stuff right now (which is bad with Pennsic just around the corner).

Just mailed out a packet of info and prices to Key West today. *crossing fingers*

No it shouldn't be like this, and you're right that your stuff has never looked better. I look at stuff of yours that I've always thought was amazing, and now I think "mid-level. Not the *good* stuff. You've really taken off recently, and your stuff is truly unique.

Keep mailing off packets. Work on the website. It'll give, you just have to wait it out.

By the way - I'm too cheap to use the Coin Star. When it gets like that I go to the self-checkout and stand there plunking in my pennies. Shame? Nope.

Hang in, and don't stop posting just because you're down about stuff. If you disappear, I'll worry. Then I'll be forced to reply with stupid jokes to whatever your last post was until you start writing again just to shut me up.

I'm going to be interested to see how Pennsic goes. There's lots of people around here not going, but for assorted family and scheduling reasons, not money. The ones who can't afford to go this year are the ones who *always* can't afford to go, if you know what I mean.
