I’ve been having extremely high anxiety lately. It started yesterday while I was waiting for my daughter to get done with an appointment she had. My back started aching, it was getting hard to breath, or at least it felt like it and I felt like I was quivering a little on the inside. I really hate it when I feel like this. It just comes out of the blue some times. No matter how hard I try to forget about my worries, something always happens, to remind me. Now I don’t feel well and I have to really buckle down to get things rolling, so I can begin bringing in some sort of income. I think it’s also because, I know things are getting closer to being able to move forward.
All I need is some cash to work with and I know I can build something that will help solve my financial problems. Waiting for my 1099 so I can file my tax return and I’ll know if I’ll have anything left over to work with. Car repairs and paying down my credit card comes first and I have to tuck away enough to cover household expenses I can’t afford, for at least 3 months. I wish there were 5 of me to help me out, I have so much to do. I know things are getting done, it just seems like I’m not getting any place fast. I’m getting impatient and feel like I should be able to do better. I’m doing the best I can do, or I wouldn’t be doing it at all.
I’m going to start listing a bunch of miscellaneous stuff on eBay this coming week. It’s mostly things I’ve found cheap that I believe I can sell for a small profit. Small profits add up and that’s the bottom line. I never sell anything I wouldn’t buy myself if I were looking for something like that. I’ve been holding off listing my driftwood picture frames, only because I am hoping I can advertise the heck out of them. With their unique beauty and style, they should get shared quite a bit on social media. It will draw attention to my other items I have listed, so I’ll have more traffic. Perhaps it will draw a bit of traffic to the website, so more people can discover it. If I get good results, I’ll do a hard launch. If I do not get good results, I may have to make a few changes, just not sure what they should be yet.
Tomorrow is going to be house cleaning day here at our house. Hasn’t been really deep down cleaned since before Christmas and it’s time to hit the nooks and crannies. having forces air for heat is a big contributor to the dust, so I try to keep it to a minimal. Not having carpeting in most of the rooms help too. I use to want carpeting in the rooms I do not have any floor coverings on, but I’m changing my mind. It really is just a pain in the rear when you think about it. I’m a cat lover, so I will always have at least one cat in my house. If you have cats, carpet is never good. Hair everywhere, that is impossible to vacuum all up. Hairballs stain carpeting, and are often harder to clean up. Cat litter sticks to the cat’s paws and get tracked on to the carpeting. Not having carpeting has allowed me to see exactly what I’d be cleaning out of my carpeting. I have to mop at least 4 times a year and the water isn’t pretty when I am done. I sweep it at least once a week and get everything, every time. I’m amazed at how far the cat litter tracks on to the floor from the other room, which is where the litter box is. I like being able to have really clean floors and no carpeting is the way to go for me. It shouldn’t take long to clean things up, so I’ll work on my eBay listings so I can get a few up that are buy it now style listings and save the auctions for when I list the driftwood frames and art pieces.
