Promoting, Obsessing and Blogging

Finally sat down and made a necklace and some earrings. Got them listed on Etsy, onto FB, tweeted and pinned - whew! This social networking thing is a lot of work, LOL. I am going to meet with a photographer this weekend to see about getting some better shots of my jewelry.  I am pretty good at taking pictures, but I think someone with some commercial photography experience would be a huge asset. Here's the piece I completed and promoted today: (The caption is a link to the Etsy posting.)

Turquoise, Red, Brown & Silver Chunky Multi-Strand Necklace

The attorney's office got back with me today.  I asked the paralegal when they were wanting a face to face meeting, but the answer was kind of ambiguous, "I would imagine at some point in the near future we’d like to get together with you." I knew that already. I was hoping for something more specific, like - let's shoot for two weeks or three weeks?  My anxiety kicks in when there are too many unknowns and in this situation it feels like everything is unknown.

I am trying to stay grounded and not let this take over my life.  When I get obsessive I tend to get hypo manic. My mood has been pretty good though and I am taking my meds everyday. I check in with the doctor on Thursday and hopefully he won't change my meds again. He tried me on some OCD medication, but it didn't seem to really do much. I am concerned about the ruminating thoughts and slight paranoia but I will discuss it all with him, and see if he wants to change the cocktail again.  Maybe he will just while I am going through all this rehashing of such a painful time for me.

Recycled Reclaimed Bronze Lotus Leaf Petal Earrings

Being a member of the JET team, we are asked to promote some of the other member's items and shops.  Everyday they chose a different shop to spotlight and the team members promote an item(s) from that shop. That being said, here's a pretty little pair of earrings from a fellow JET Team member. I love their simplicity and delicate nature. Her Etsy shop, RusticRockJewelry has some very pretty items.

New Etsy Team Member

Today has been the busiest sitting around day I've had in a long while.  I finally got around to taking care of becoming an active member of the JET team on Etsy.  It's been fun and its kept me quite busy. The group has helped me gain a few blog followers and FB fans too. I am looking forward to making some new friends on the team, and helping and learning.

My car is still in the shop and this is really not such a bad thing - its helped me stay at home today and get things done.  The kids are gone and the house has returned to its quiet calm.  Other than the snoring of a basset hound you could hear a pin drop.

Still nothing new from the attorney.  I am looking forward to going to New York, but since this craziness has re-emerged, I keep pairing New York with all the negative and scary feelings of the abuse and polarization.  I need to figure out how to stop doing this because I miss New York terribly, and I don't ever want to feel fear when there. Maybe I just need to make some new, positive memories during my coming visit.  I know this isn't going to be an easy task as the primary purpose for the visit will be to rehash everything that happened. Somehow I will get through it.  My wife will be there with me, and things are so very different now.

I've been on the computer long enough today. The shower and the to-do list are both calling my name. Time to break away from the warmth of the computer screen and be a bit productive in some other arenas.

Just Another Sick Day

The cupcakes were really yummy, but the strawberry icing needed some work.  I got to enjoy baby Nathan and helped them out with some burping and soothing techniques. I can't believe it, but I am still sick.  It's been two weeks already - I am done with being sick.

I've been resting most of the day.  The only thing I did today was paint another onesie for the baby.  They showed us his adorable nursery which is done in a robot print so I mimicked the fabric and made this:

The next call I get from the attorney is likely to be making arrangements to meet in person.  I really do want the opportunity to go home, but under these circumstances its very bittersweet.  I haven't been home since 2003 I think.  It was '02 or '03 and it was in February, and it was very very cold. It'll be pretty funny if I go back again in February.  I guess we will see what happens.  I miss New York terribly.  I'd move back if I could afford the cost of living. There is something about New York City that invigorates me, wakes me up and gets me going.  There's an electricity in the air that doesn't exist anywhere else.

Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow. Another doctor visit may be in order if I don't feel any better soon. Its still in my chest and the sinus drainage is just horrible.  I'm gonna get a good nights' sleep and hope for a healthier tomorrow.
