So I've started this company, which will remain nameless on here, but it is my dream and it'll be a part-time gig until God blesses it if He chooses to. Just got an earring holder (stand-you know the kind you see at department stores?). Well I stripped two of the screws. So I thought to myself, how to fill this hole and re-drill. I didn't have epoxy then I realized that I did own a hot glue gun so I filled the holes and re-drilled and so far they are holding just fine.
I'm hoping my earrings come tomorrow but right now they are in New York City but they've cleared customs so that is good. Transferred from UBX Express to UPS here in the states. I want them to come tomorrow night so much - I've got a big sign on my front door: please leave all deliveries here, and signed it! ha
Today my doctor removed me from one of my medicines because it was making me manic. I wasn't sleeping again, it was a real drag. I took a day off of work today because I didn't sleep good for the past two nights and I've been running on manic adrenaline for probably a week or so now. I caught this one early so we were able to jump on it before it became debilitating.
This is my reality. I cycle back and forth from mania to depression. I'm an ultra rapid cycler, often doing this within the course of a day. I'm hard to treat and probably difficult to be with. It is who I am and God says in the Bible that I am beautifully and wonderfully made. I cling to that verse with everything in me.
I'm hoping to go back to work tomorrow because even if I'm sick it'll look bad being gone because it is a holiday weekend. So I'm praying for a good night's sleep tonight. I need good, restful sleep in order to do my job. This sucks. I was talking to my dad about disability and even though I would qualify for it easily I want to work as long as I can. I do. It's just really really hard right now.
I really need to have a good sales day Saturday or my business could be in a world of hurt fast. I need to sell...sell...sell. So I've bought a giant 22x28 sign holder that holds 25% off signs and if I choose a 50% off sign. I added watches to my offering and hopefully will have earrings by tomorrow. I will have to put about 200 pairs of earrings on earring cards. I think that I've decided NOT to label them by SKU number, but to just put them up and have a set price per pair of earrings. I'm doing $9.99/pair of beaded earrings or $18/for two pair. (saves $2.). I'm hoping that a little clever marketing will help.
I also bought these cheese starburst signs in neon colors. I'm going to put them on the top of my necklace forms with the price of the item being sold and it's reduced price. I'm hoping some bright colors and promises of discounts will get people to get out their wallets. Plus we take all credit, debit, checks and cash. So how do you go wrong with that? I've got my wireless credit card machine charging now.
I just looked at my earring stand and I think that I put in one of the holders wrong. Darn it.
Sitting here, waiting to get tired and come down from the manic high so I can go to bed for the night. How sad is that? :-)
Until tomorrow I remain sane! ha
