Yeah, you're right, she never really left.

Today's various and sundry:


• Went to do the post office stuff, and thought, hey, I have a lot of inventory in my car at the moment, I'll stop at this store and sell some. I mean, I didn't do the show yesterday, but maybe I can still get something going on my own.
  
  The store is located in a weird spot, so I turn into the business two doors down, and it turns out the business in between them is pouring concrete. Seriously, this is a crazy coincidence; it's the first time ever I've attempted to enter that way. I have the weirdest bad luck. So I have to exit in a place where it is nearly impossible to make a left turn, and then I have to go and turn around, etc., and I finally get there, and the owner isn't in, of course.
  
  It's really hard for me to be proactive about business; I hate being pushy. And every time I try to do something like this it never works.



• Mail received: Two charge card bills, a notice from the cemetery group photo competition explaining that the judging was rilly rilly hard and I didn't make the cut, a letter (and my check returned) from a show I was counting on that does not have enough vendors so is cancelled, and another notice from the IRS...apparently I've been paying my monthly installment on the wrong date, and now I have to pay two in one month. And, while not impossible in a normal month, this is NOT a normal month, this is mass brokitude month. Oh, and what are the odds that the payment is about what I made at one of those shows--you know, the one I didn't go to yesterday? Yeah, it's about the same. Great. Now I'm even happier about flaking out.



• The Potterpocalypse is nigh.

At least I'll see rook543 at the release party tonight.

Where would we be without her? Seriously, I've done my share of the whining, we all do. Let's hope your turn is short. (Cause being broke sucks. I know.)

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to September, when a lot of this struggle (hopefully) will be over!
