amazingkevin Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I'm swamped with work and can't finish my teak box and was so close too.I patterned and cut 13 of 16 names ,worked on a guitar ,shopped at wally mart had 4 beers during the day and was hindered by the drunks again wasting my time.I need to stop it as they are a menace to the yoga girls that come here i feel bad for them.No pictures today it's very late .I did way to much today and may have burn't myself out for tomorrow,at least maybe a late start. bobscroll and frankorona 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW I need to get out of this chair.10 years is a long time to sit in a chair scrolling all day ,it's ruined my good legs i think by cutting off the circulation just behind my knees where my chair seat ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now my doctor has increased my blood pressure pills from 10mg to 50mg because my bp has been on the rise for a while ,now it's 120 /80.He's just masking the problem ,tell me how to get of this junk but he won't.

kmmcrafts Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 I came to the conclusion last year that... I'll never ever be able to take on all those custom orders I get at this time of year.. so this year I turned off my custom ordering buttons on my web sites.. While it's been slower I've still made more money than last year and about 110% less stressed.. sure.. I'm loosing out on the awesome orders and many times my customers come up with some of the best sellers I have.. but.. at the end of the day.. the money I would of made wouldn't do me any good if the stress killed me.. LOL or.. I'd end up spending more on doctors appointments and prescriptions.. just not worth it to me.. This year I am plenty busy with out all those custom / personalized orders.. I still get the occasional customer asking for something.. but it's far less and also like I said far less stress.. I've even turned away a few orders this year.. Take care of yourself..

Really no time for my self,sad way to many things to do.I'd love to sleep all day and nite and when work slows down i do just that till the phone rings.i'm afraid to shut it off in fear of missing a buck or two.I met a elderly couple in worse shape than me but they make the best of it and at 80 plus years are love birds ,my dream to be one with someone like that!!! kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
