Last week (30th Jan to 5th Feb) (I'm writing this on Monday the 6th) was long. LA came back Monday afternoon and we stayed kinda later at lab so he could work on transplants. Tuesday I had an unexpected ELISA to run, squeezed it in. Thanks to my "success" with that ELISA, on Wednesday 36 more ELISA plates had to be run, we were at work from 9am to 11pm. We ate dinner at lab 1130 then went home. Let's just say, I wasn't all that motivated to be at lab meeting at 9am the next morning. Thursday was long too. Friday was full, then on the way home LA went to the airport to be in MO for the weekend.
So on my own for the weekend, not a great thing for me. I'm bored, anxious, overwhelmed with everything I want to do and not sure where to start. I have a list, I start plucking through it.
I sold a cactus Saturday! And on Friday the guy from the store in Tecumseh who contacted me on FB about renting space there reached out to me again, and I had to decline. The rental fees are $40-$80. They don't keep commissions and no fees, but I'd have to sell 1-2 pieces a month just to break even, as the costs also include the time to drive there, the costs transporting, the stress of making "enough". And that last one was probably the most costly. Like I've said, and LA reminds me, it's not as much fun when it's not a hobby anymore.
I listed the pink succulent on FB as an Alternate Color to the green, and already have someone asking about it. I listed another cactus, this one with a yellow flower. This is going good! I'm listing only what I have available (until I added the "ask me about other colors" to the succulents!) and I'm under no huge pressure to make more.
But I am looking for a webpage of some sort, a way to list what I have on hand in one spot. Kinda like my own Etsy page, without the Etsy. I found an eCommerce thing on FB to look at next. In the meantime, I'm going to make a SHORT list of the cacti/succulents/flowers I have would want to have on-hand on-the-ready to include there.
