I sold another one of my Lazy Susan's yesterday!!!!! So very exciting. I sold it to the Chaplin I met while Hubby was in the ICU. So 2.5 months later I deliver the goods LOL. She's understanding of what was going on. I put the money back into the business, I gave money to my Dad to make me more rounds both 12 inch and 15 inch rounds. Then Ladybug and I will be making up a bunch to put on Etsy and also to sell at an upcoming Craft Fair held locally in November!!! I'm too excited for this all to come together. I designed and ordered business cards, a stamp (for the back of the Lazy Susan's) and postcards (for Thank You notes if I ship stuff out).
There is so much potential. I also heard from a FB friend of Hubby's about a PT work from home opportunity and I applied for that today as well. I would work up to 4 hours per day at the new place and maybe even be able to do some of it while I'm at the FT job. All I need is a phone or computer.
Yesterday I rushed home after work and finalized all the stuff on the Lazy Susan, then rushed to Hubby's rehab facility where I was going to meet the Chaplin. I was so excited. Anyway, I forgot that Hubby had Speech Therapy at 2pm so I was in the dining room waiting for my Chaplin friend and they were holding a Brain Injury Support Group in there. I was listening in, I honestly wanted to attend but not without Hubby. There was a woman there who I think her nephew is in the room next to Hubby. Anyway, he wakes up every single night every two hours and they have to wake up with him and tell him that this is your room and this is your bed. He doesn't remember every single time he wakes up. He has like no short term memory. He keeps asking her why she's there with him and shouldn't she be at work, when she's been retired for 8 years or more. It's so sad. I'm blessed that Hubby didn't turn out this way. I think he has some short term memory issues but it's getting better and better I think.
Yesterday while I was at work Hubby shared with me two videos. One was of him walking down the hall unassisted (no walker) and the other was of him standing up tall and putting each foot onto a step without holding on to anything (not easy for him, his balance has been off). I cried when I saw those videos. I know he's working so very hard.
I need to get into the garage very soon (Sheesh I need to write a list) and find how what kind of cable we have in there to sell those boxes of cable and get some money coming in from that. That will at least help. Hubby also mentioned some instruments that he has somewhere in the house or the garage that we can sell too. I need to do that THIS weekend. I don't want to forget. At least then I have accomplished something. Although with the craft fair and selling the Lazy Susan I think I have accomplished a lot.
I feel to light today and like life is full of potential and opportunity. I hope this feeling lasts a while.
