It's Still Raining!

It’s still raining! Can you believe it? I think I did see a weird yellow light at one point of the day but I’m not quite sure what it was. Could it be the sun? I’m not sure I know what that looks like right now. On the plus side, my car is getting a really, really good bath right now. Looks like Debby is starting to break up but we keep getting bands of intense rain. I didn’t think I would need a boat but I’m starting to reconsider that.

I did have three brave souls who came out during that brief moment in time when it wasn’t raining and bought things. I also got my first official Dickies order. Both are good things. Otherwise, I’ve spent the morning taxing my brain doing math to figure out how to cut out the fabric for my mom’s drapes. This is not an easy task as you must do a lot of measuring, do it twice, maybe three times. Can you measure too many times? I think not. After the measuring, I had to determine the width of my bolt, the finished & unfinished length of the curtains, and determine how many panels I will need to cover the width of the opening. This will cover two sliding doors so it is rather large. On top of this, it will have a funky little gather which means you must have three times the width of what you measured. There is quite a bit of math and I’ve been trying to do at the end of a day when I’m tired. It’s just not workin’ then. My brain has not been able to wrap itself around the 22 yards of fabric that will end up being 147 inches wide and 84 inches long. That should be about 440 inches of fabric to cover the width. Too much math!

The only other exciting thing that has happened today is that the promo video for the store is done. I will be posting in the next couple of days and we’ll see what happens. It was nice of them to do the video and I truly do appreciate it. I’m just not sure if it will actually do anything for me. I’ve tried so many things in the past that have fallen flat that I have set my expectations very low. So low, in fact, that a good day is just going in and turning on the lights. Everything after that is a bonus. It’s hard to be disappointed when you expect nothing. It’s the always expecting wonderful things to happen and when they don’t, every single time you do something positive, you get very depressed. I’ve spent far too many days being depressed and need to move on from that.

One day it will stop raining and one day I will stop being so bored.

Until Next Time,
