Chilling out here, suddenly feeling tired as I wait to head to the day job. Listening to Old Crow Medicine Show and thinking that I should be productive in some manner, but I honestly just don't give a shit. What I really want to do is get back into bed and sleep for another few days.
It's funny how a vacation can wreck your schedule. I went away with the family for a week, or nearly, and came home last Friday. I still feel like my internal schedule is in shambles. Though the vacation was worth it. I feel relaxed a bit, and then I find myself instantly overwhelmed with the daily shit I need to worry about in my life. There are three dresses hanging here that i need to do some minor adjustments on that I just haven't been able to motivate myself to get to. Well, I have no choice on the matter. Today, I will get the work done as I have to make another kilt by Friday.
And then there is the realization that there are just over three months to got before X-mas. How should I deal with my marketing this year? I mean, the books are there, and I'm not sure I will have much in the way of new material, much to my aggravation. As for my Etsy site, I feel it looks naked and I haven't had much time to fill it with much. I have some ideas for new projects to put more products into my shop, but that requires time, motivation and a little scratch to get a few supplies.
And that's a big one for me right now. You know, I met a young lad who is working on a college degree and was introduced to me because he shares my ambition to be a fiction writer. After a brief conversation, I explained to this young lad that unless he wished to struggle to pay the bills, he should make sure that he gets something more out of his college experience that he can run with to make some money. Let me tell you, these next few months are going to get really tight for me as the bills keep coming and the paychecks are getting no larger. On top of that, the reserve from the tax return is about out, so things will get really tight as we need to make it all on what we can get.
But I suppose it's not all that bad. As I said, I have some projects in the works. I'm thinking of doing a T-shirt or two as well. Though I would need to buy more screen and... well, we'll see. Okay, I need to get one thing done before I head to work. '
If nothing else, at least I posted a blog today!
