It's Tuesday of what is already a very long week.
Chris's husband still doesn't have job so I'm still I guess the technical term would be laid off. We really depended on that extra check but now it's time to move on.
Most of my friends are all at their breaking point. I let Chris vent last night after I got done training. She's having a hard time financially and her husband is making things worse. She's talking divorce.
Kristie is having a hard time again financially but then her husband is being stubborn and not listening. It's giving her sleepless nights and restless days.
I wish I could help them both but we just do what we can and move on. It sucks and it's hard but we just do the best we can. Have a freak out and get back to this thing called life.
I'm pushing the shop the best I can. I've been setting it out but no luck with that. It's hard seeing as I don't have signs for the business. Just yard sale and this is definitely not a yard sale lol.
I do have a pop up scheduled for Saturday though so fingers crossed that does well. Halloween and Christmas are usually my best times of year and I'm really excited to work on more stuff.
I made lip gloss yesterday and gifted to a friend. Hopefully I get some positive feedback but if not that's ok too.
I finished a Court of Thorns and Roses the other day. It was different. Good but I didn't end up liking the female lead character until around the end. To me she went from being a strong lead to a weak lead to strong again. Good story though.
With the end of that I started Amanda Lovelace books. I say that because she's poetry and I read them fast. Last night was the Princess Saves Herself in this One. Today will be The Witch Doesn't Burn in this One. I love her poetry books, they really inspire and flow really well.
I still haven't started a new puzzle. I need to glue the Avatar one but with the puppy I worry she'll get into the glue and I don't want her sick. I may do it tonight before inservice.
While life is rough, it's nice to have some silver linings.
What is everyone else up to today?

So many people (young and old) are struggling these days. I hope things turn around for you (and your friends) and especially that your shop can bring in some extra cash.

Same. I'm thinking about taking up yoga but it's the same as exercise, I can't keep up with it.
