craft show is over

It is the next day, The show was okay, I made 2 sales. I sold a hat and 6 turtle keychains. It was snowing so we all think that is why no one was really coming. but it's okay I was 10 dollars shy of making the fee back. ugh one day I will make that back and then some. hopefully soon. well i have another one next weekend and that one is free so let's see how that goes

Craft Show

 So, I have a craft show tomorrow. I am always anxious because this is my job, I want and need to make money. Really, I have a vendor show every weekend for the next 3 weeks with the last one being a 2 day show. Stressed but excited. I want to grow my business and need to step up my game to getting things done. But back to tomorrow, I am as ready as I can be. I don't have change for customers and that stresses me out. lol I make sure I can afford the show and have stock change is second. But, I want to succeed more than anything, and to do this while dealing with my mental health, Depression and anxiety. getting over trauma and self-doubt as well as comparing myself to others. Its a struggle but i know i can do it Remember you are loved and are amazing

Spent most of the night in the hospital

Anyway, when she got home, I asked the usual questions and had decided to wait until the next day. A few hours go by and I change my mind and decide to take her last night and so we went and got there at about 9pm and was there until 2 am. All tests came back fine, and she is okay but stayed home from school today to rest and be extra cautious. parenthood is no joke, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Remember always take it one day at a time, no matter what it is you are facing.

Introduction: Boring to Better

Learning to let go of what was and look forward to what is to come. Healing all the traumas I have and taking back my life how I want it.  A way I am working on my mental health is by crocheting, going to therapy and not caring what others think of me. I have also grown and continuing to grow my online followers especially on TikTok. that helps me step outside my comfort zone just enough to grow my emotional and mental health.  I am on a weight loss journey and so far, have lost 125lbs with some help from mounjaro.  I am also disabled can't walk to far and need a mobility scooter for assistance for longer distances. I have a small business that I opened in 2023 that I am working on, so I am able to do what I love and work from home. I primarily sell my crocheted items but would lov...
