A new day, a new daughter, a new delay
Ok… so not gonna be able to leave on the bike trip as I had promised this week… there’s always something isn’t there? Luckily I did get to talk with Tiana and Pirate Fest will be next weekend as well. So the plan (key word PLAN) is to leave next Tuesday. What happened is that Tuesday I got a CRAZY flow of customers to my website (and when I say crazy flow keep in mind that the entire existence of the site I’ve sold a grand total of 5 items in 3 years that I’ve had it) all asking questions, none buying yet. One of them is a guaranteed buy, they talked to me at the St. Louis Ren. Faire and were going to pay then, I told them to wait because it was a custom piece and I hate taking money for something that I’ve not done. I went home and made the item the next week… it’s just now getting back to them finally buying that item 
Still there is another order that looks promising that will total to about $300 unfortunately the purchase hasn’t been made yet… and haven’t heard anything from the person other than the initial contact email.
So that’s the real delay, I have absolutely no choice to leave my business in the dust when business is finally picking up… however I will still go on this trip, things only get more difficult as time progresses. Maybe Jordan can come next week with me on the ride but who knows. He had to say no to this week because he is doing a Quintiles study (he recently lost his job, and would like to do work as I do online but we all know that’s a double edged sword in itself when you have bills to pay). Problem with working online is that unless you just get REALLY lucky like me and get hooked up with a killer job working for Viacom you work your butt off to see results 3 months down the road. I know you guys all think that the internet is instant… it is much faster than a regular business, but the truth of the matter is that all business online takes 3 months to establish, during which time you must have 100% devotion or you make nothing at all in the end, and the site never launches.
A new daughter! I posted a little bit ago (might of been my last post) that I needed a new daughter… well I getted one! It was sort of unplanned but luckily I’ve got money running out my ears in excess right now so it really worked out. Tiana found a lil kitty kat under the hood of her vehicle yesterday… being that it was a lil itty bitty kitty she couldn’t just leave it somewhere, so she called me up and asked me if I wanted her. Got her this morning and she’s gorgeous. A little black kitten. She’s a little bit of a scaredy cat so she spends most of her time hiding, I let her hide for the first hour or so that she was here, then I pulled her out and gently petted her until she was calm then got her some warm milk and continued petting her until she drank a little then she went off and hid again… gotta make sure she keeps eating so I do this every half hour… find her in the mess of a room she’s in warm up her milk (actually do that one first) pet her till she calms down and starts roaming around in my lap, then she gets a drink and sneaks off to hide. She really is a sweetheart though, I think she’s going to be a lover kitty… which is good I like cats that will cuddle.
