Time on Treadmill: 30 minutes.
Sense of Relief: Surprisingly high.

I genuinely don’t remember much of today. The bulk of it was spent making jewelry to fulfill Etsy orders (remember, I have an Etsy store with all kinds of pretty stuff), running said orders to the PO, promoting jewelry and books online, sitting in on the lovely and talented Siobhan Muir‘s Saturday Soliloquy because she was kind enough to promote my stuff, making a buttload of Halloween and Christmas earrings, and carefully running the math to discover that if I add all the incoming funds from various sales and projects, I’ve successfully covered a major bill for the month and I have a skosh left over for next month’s, which is good.

Living paycheck to paycheck sucks, and having that paycheck disappear sucks even more. But hopefully we can get past that soon and get on a more reliable financial grounding. In the meantime, I work my side hustles as best I can, and feed Ramón gyro meatballs because he loves them and they make him happy.
