How shall I describe?

or "God damn I'm tired! @.@"


I feel an explanation is due. I had told some folks to expect me to be on the job early in the month, yet I have continued to waffle and let things slide. One of the reasons is a rather unexpected, yet grueling two week class to become an apprentice guide at the Monterey Bay Aquarium (Whoo!). I have just completed the last day of that class, and you can catch me at the Aquarium every other Sunday starting in another week :)

One issue is my move from living in the Craft Room (because I'd only be here a few months until I got a fancy new job...) to the now open room downstairs. The problem here is that the open room wasn't really open. It contained my sewing machine, Mom's sewing machine, a cutting table, Dad's radio stuff, his laptop, three tables as well as loads of fabric (some mine) and the remnants from the rooms previous inhabitants. I have been playing an exciting life size version of Tetris for two weeks >.>

Another going on is that my Onee-chan (that's Big Sister) and her family are moving from upstate New York to the Los Angeles area, so they're around and about. Right now, the three kids are camped out upstairs. This isn't a big deal, but it still adds to the count.

I have some Etsy orders which I need to make. Some require my sewing machine. I need to take my sewing machine apart and clean it, so it does not break in such a way that I must pay a guy a hundred bucks to fix it (D: ). To take it apart, I need table space and time. Right now, this is my only source of income, and I need to be working on it more.

Amidst all of this is the question of my very poor health. I am tired most of the time, and if I get two things done in a day using my own motivational forces, I consider it miraculous. Also, the idea folks around here have about motivation is one of antagonism, which is to say I must first deal with their negativity before my own.
I'm keeping my head down and plodding along as I usually do. It's a long road however, and many of these things have turned into full blown catastrophes (see: moving). I do apologize if any of your orders, events, letters, or other correspondence have been set aside or delayed.

Anyway, FYI (or possibly TMI) :B
