Chicember 2020 - 11 - Centering My Chi

Happy FriYAY!

I’m not feeling 100% today (I’m having some Endo pain), but I’m just happy I made it through this week.

Dentist Visit

I haven’t really been anywhere for real since the pandemic started. I go places here and there, but I don’t be out like that. I really don’t go out unless it is necessary. So, I went to the dentist today and it hit me that things are soooo different. I had to text the office upon arrival, and wait in the car until my chair was available. Then when I walked in, there was plexiglass everywhere, which I wasn’t mad about. The receptionist was sounding all muffled through her mask, the thick glass, and our distance, but I didn’t feel like asking her to repeat herself. When I was filling out the Covid form, they asked if I had been to Florida, Georgia and one other state. I proudly selected “No”, as if I passed a test. But they are not playing when it comes to safety and I appreciate that.

Finally

I finally put lights on the tree, but still haven’t added the ornaments. I’m taking my sweet time putting up decorations this year. I’m doing everything in mini sessions. I’ve already decided that my take down process will have the same energy.

Etsy Update

I hit 1500 Etsy sales! WooHoo! I just want to thank everyone who has supported me in this venture. It’s been fun and fulfilling. I want to grow it more next year.

Things are starting to slow down in my Etsy shop compared to the last couple of weeks, but I plan to pick back up on things. I had to pause on putting up new designs and focus on the customer service aspect because of the shipping issues I was having. The slow mail delivery was messing with my business, but that is all part of the process. I’ve been learning a lot and plan to be more prepared for the holiday season next year.
