Life and stuff

[ladyjanelly]

 Just popping in to let y'all know life's going pretty darn good. I've had a few minor sales from my Etsy store this month, and I've got a possible customer who's lined up like $1200 worth of stock and custom work, so hopefully that pans out next month.

I'm sewing like a mad thing, and buying sweaters and my house is a mess. :) I'm doing "etsy work" about 6 hrs/day, and Sami's only in school for 3.5 of those. She's been going to thrift stores and the post office with me and being such a good little trooper about it. 

My paypal is still in a positive balance, even with paying for 2 months of Sami's school out of it  and starting to buy 30-50 sweaters at a time (the goal is to have enough in there by Jan 1 to pay Sami's school for a year, so if we have to make a car payment we'll be okay). 

I'm still writing--desperately need to get some stuff done-done, but the new ideas are pushing the finished-but-for-edits stuff to the back burner.

Thought I was a minute from finished with the Leverage/Losers fic for the poly big-bang, but Eliot has more to say. Luckily I've got time on that, still. 

I've been getting to the gym just about every day, doing the 15 minutes on the bike which seems to make an 80% improvement to the pain levels in my poor knees, and then I write for like 60-90 minutes. 

Off to pick Sami up at school. Take care, everybody!

Congratulations on the Etsy front and all the other achievements! It's good to hear the writing is going well too. Hope things continue well. xx

Thanks. :) I'm sooo behind on other stuff, like keeping house and reading fic. My yard has totally gone to seed. It's pathetic. I'm barely keeping us in clean laundry. It feels good though, getting so much done, and having a chance to contribute to the family finances.
