Wacked-out Wednesday

I am trying desperately to remember something I was told a long time ago by someone I highly respect. "Have faith. It will all come right." Things are really stressful right now, and my anxiety levels are through the roof again. Doing my best to stay calm and not flake out, and just BARELY making it. Still managing to get some things done and survived work last night, so that's all to the good. We are looking to have to take the truck back to Bill and trade what we have paid on it straight across for a different vehicle. The thing is still fouling out badly even with all we have done to try to fix the issue, and we need two decently-working vehicles. Add in that we currently have no spare for the Escort until we get a different rim in a few days, and you have a gal who is stressed out to the max again. I need a break from all this stress. If I did not need my vacation days for getting the kittens fixed this summer, I would take a week off the job and get paid for sitting at home and doing what *I* want to do and enjoying myself. Not gonna happen, though.

As far as the next book on making a few bucks with surveys (it isn't great money, but every little bit helps, right?), I have about eight more pages worth of sites to double check on before I pronounce the thing done and ready for publication on Kindle and putting in the webstore. Speaking of the webstore, it is creeping up on 400 items and pretty soon, I am going to be blasting it all over my FB business and networking groups, the yard sale groups (promo one item and get traffic, might get some sales that way, ya never know), and even many of the book groups. I figure if I give away the new book once it is done as a promo, folks might spend some dough while they are there, right? All I can do is try.

I have figured out how to tell all the "twins" apart in the kittens. Fuzzy from Tink's litter and Junior from Raffle's litter are near-twins, but Junior has a full white collar and Fuzzy doesn't. Trouble from Tink's litter and Oreo from Raffle's are near-twins, but Oreo has a little spot under his nose and patches on his front legs. Mazda and Shelby, both from Raffle's litter, are more difficult. They are both near identical, but Mazda has little cream patches on the very tips of her ears. Shelby has dark patches. You have to look pretty close on these near-twins in order to tell them apart!

But it is time to do what I can while hubby is getting ready, since we are riding together in the car for a few days until we get something going on the truck, and get all the paperwork done for something different. This means I have to cut my time short on everything so we can leave when HE wants to leave, all so he can socialize and arrive an hour or more ahead of when we have to clock in, to "make sure" we aren't late. I think an hour is a bit much, but I can sit outside in decent weather and work on needlework to try to stay calm and away from people. I swear, the more I hang out with my cats, the less I like people. At least they are always honest. Hugs and love all ... time for me to get crack-a-lackin'.
