Sweet Rufus

Petted the kittens today and Rufus came up to start licking the cheeks of Goldberry. Sweet. Goldberry likes to rub her head on my forehead to purr loudly. Happy kitten. The two kittens have started playing with each other in the kitchen.

RIP Patricia Rutledge

RIP Hyacinth Bouquet from "Keeping Up Appearances". I loved that show.

Sweet pups

Sweet. Rosy last night slept in my bed with 2 dogs. First was on my feet, then plopped on my hair. Woke up and she was still on my pillow. Will see if happens again tonight.

New additions to the family

Well, it's been a week so I should let the cat out of bag. I adopted 2 kittens from the local shelter. I named the Tortie, Rosie, and Orange Tabby, Goldberry or Goldie. Dogs and kittens have been nose to nose to have no negative reaction. Today Rosie was on my end table and Rufus on my lap. He sniffed her and she tapped her paw on his forehead. Then Rufus licked her fuzzy cheeks. So sweet. Dogs are eager to play with the kittens, but kittens need time to get accustomed to their new home. Patience.

Losing my therapist

Well, my therapist informed me he is taking a job at a college as a sports counselor. Good for him. He is comfortable leaving me in a good place where I don't really need him anymore. I am recovering from past trauma of my bankruptcy, pets dying, Mom dying, and struggle to find a new job that I actually pays enough to live on. I'll miss him of course, but I wish him well in his new adventure.

Try Again

Reformatted my Ebook, again, and the waiting for approval or rejection begins. Approved for the Print On Demand Bookstore. Progress.

What do I do now?

Farmer's Market is over and people are breathing down my neck to close my shop. I'm stupid for spending money when people don't buy my stuff. I'm sorry it's hard and depressing to toss my dreams in the garbage. This is my 4th year and I didn't want to be a statistic of another small business that fails. I don't know the problem. Is shipping too much? My products are that awful and ugly. Customers want to buy, but don't have money. My brand isn't popular or prestigious enough to buy from. After 40 hours a week working, I don't have much time to spend on my business and write stories to turn into Ebooks. Any ideas? I wanted to make Christmas cards and try macreme ornaments again, but not sure if I should.

Update: Put up a free shipping promo on my social media and shop websites.

AI pushed on us at work

Funny. Corporate office is pushing AI, but we are responsible for emails, letters, messages, etc. that clients receive from us using AI. If that is the case, why don't I write the messages myself. I write better stuff than information pulled from the internet (that is where AI gets it's intelligence). And I know what I wrote. Someone please explain what is so great about AI besides being the new "It" thing.
