The topic: Every thing is fine here

----------------------------------------------

I’ve just been busy.

I thought the store was ready and a buddy bought the first item.  The three strand white necklace with aurora borealis crystals.  Well, I didn’t have the PayPal information set right and it went to “sales@paypal.com”.  Duh.  Then yesterday morning, someone bought two of the sets and the payment went through, but my store said the buy failed. 

So, the customer, really wanting these earrings, paid for them again.  And my store still told her that the sale didn’t go through.  I found the problem, credited back one of the payments.  It was a setting in the store.  I had it right to begin with, then thought “that can’t be it” and changed it.  I should have left it as it was.

And then I had to figure out how to get the invoices to where they looked better printed out.  That took a half a day.  It always surprises me how long something needing just a little adjustment can take.

And after I get done with that, there’s still housework, laundry, cat stuff, shopping, the same old thing.

Not much time left after that to do much online.

I think it should go easier now, with the exception of adding stock (very time consuming as it is, even though I’ve already got most of the pictures).  But I shouldn’t need to be messing with things so much now and once I get a rhythm for adding stock, it most likely won’t suck up so much of my time.

This evening, I’m going to make some earrings while watching last year’s Pirates movie (it debuts on Starz tonight) and then tomorrow, take pictures of the stuff that I don’t have pictures of and start “stocking” the store.  I’ll take it offline to do that.

We’ve been having the May gray weather, which really doesn’t do much to get me energized.  And after May gray, comes the June gloom. 

The catnip patch is doing better since the cats can’t get into it.  There are some weeds that need to be pulled.  I watered it really good today and will try to get in there tomorrow to dig up that infernal crab grass and the weeds.  And then put in more catnip seed to replace the area that the cats decimated by rolling in it. And chewing on it.

I plan to start selling Benny’s Finest Kind nip again this year.  I’ve gotten more than a few requests for it.
