Boot Bling & Basketball

Today was a very busy day and now I can't sleep so I'm blogging.  I created a few new pieces today but had no time to upload them onto my Etsy shop.  I'm making a bunch of boot bling in anticipation of my local North Texas shows since it seems that these seem to be selling rather well.  Here's a preview of what I will be adding to the shop ASAP.



Took my new meds too late last night and then couldn't wake up till around 10 o'clock this morning. I somehow need to remember to take my evening pills around 9:15 9:30 so that I have a morning the next day. Even though I took my meds late again I have to wake up tomorrow because the kids are here and I need to get them to school.  We watched my youngest play basketball this evening with her middle school team.  She scored 11 points and her team won - overall a pretty good evening for her with the exception of one play which had us all laughing so hard we almost fell off the bleachers.  It's hard to describe really other than to say that her team mate attempted to pass her the ball, she was unaware of the pass and once cognizant managed to miss it entirely as it flew directly over her landing just out of reach.  On paper - not so funny.  But trust me if you had been there you'd have been laughing.

My anxiety makes it difficult to attend team sports.  It's even more difficult when one of my children is playing.  I get so into it.  When the ref makes calls I'm not happy with, or our team screws up I get very worked up.  The let down if we lose is difficult too.  I just feel things more intensely than the average person and although at times it can be good, most of the time it sucks.

Saturday is our Quanah show.  We have a long drive ahead of us tomorrow evening.  Why have a show in a bitty town like Quanah you might ask?  Well, my parter's family lives there, that is where she grew up.  I do Bowie Trade Days for a similar reason, my mom lives there.  I enjoy doing the shows even though the sales have not been good.  I have faith that some day this will turn around and my jewelry will start selling at shows.  Wish us luck.
