It is officially hump day and it's just been a long week.
It's been freezing and just rough.
I am working online a lot more and I'm pushing the shop a lot more.
I have an amazing husband that said instead of looking for a job, push the shop more and try to get it off the ground so we can get an actual shop somewhere. He's even offering to help me set a pop up on the side of the road. It's a busy road so there's a possibility for some decent business.
I went to the EMS inservice last night. I learned how to intubate even though I can't do that. It's a paramedic skill not a basic one but still useful.
I'm still on my Amanda Lovelace kick. The first book I read I got three quotes out of it. Today I'll go through...well read the next one and get quotes from that one.
The printer part came in yesterday so I have to do that. I really need my printer back as I got more orders. I'm really excited about it.
I did make the lip gloss the other day and I'm waiting to hear some criticism. Hopefully it'll be good. If I can get enough money I'll be getting the fragrances for the candles soon. Fingers crossed on those.
Despite going through financial issues, I have to say that I'm pretty optimistic about things. I have options and I'm slowly finding them. It'll work out.
What is everyone else up to today?
I'm freezing while working online this morning. It was only 34 degrees when we got up this morning.

@anya12adwi The phrase has been around since I was a kid. It just refers to getting over the hump of the week, the middle.

As of a couple days ago lol yes I do. Hump day is what they call the middle of the week. It started with a camel in a commercial quite a few years ago

The morning started off really cold but now we're up to a whopping 50 degrees. Definitely a day for warmer clothes.
Hope you get good feedback on your lip gloss so you can add it to your shop. Do you still have your Etsy shop?
Hang in there!!

@JordanLader I've never heard of tedoo but no fees certainly is a bonus.

I don't. Fees were getting really high. I switched to a site called tedoo. It's almost the same as etsy but no fees.
Our mornings are starting off in the 30's. Way too early for that for me but it appeared.

Glad you got to go with the EMS at last!
I hope the lip gloss will be a success, it's great your husband is supporting you with the shop.

Yes! I was talking to a friend and she was reassuring me that they won't just throw me on an ambo, I get two orientation rides first. That made me feel a lot better.
My husband is amazing. He's the most supportive of the business and never lets me down with it. He's helping me this weekend with the pop up and I swear he never even blinks an eye when I expand my inventory all the time lol.
