The craft show went well. I sold 10 items and had a lot of interaction. Smaller things went, but that's okay. I made enough to cover the table, to go to dinner after, and have a profit. Not enough to fill the oil tank, but something to have cash in pocket.

The vendor next to me was new. She sold candles and this was her 3rd show. She did really well. She told me how easy it was to set up your own site on Shopify and that the fees were less than etsy. She even had a card reader that take credit cards and have to go through her shopify account and keep inventory. That sounds promising. I winter project for sure.

Saturday night I came home after eating out with Dad and I was literally bristling with anxiety... not over anything specific, but I just couldn't settle down and relax. And it wasn't giddy of creative energy either. I ended up settling into cooking.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to bring a nice lunch to the cousins before Thanksgiving The lead cousin does all the work and she is super stressed these days with her 94 year old mother. I figured if I brought something it would be something nice and healthy for them and Dad. Dad being low sodium. Them, not being fried food. I made pulled pork and baked beans. Both cooked low and slow over night. They turned out well.

Some good news was that my unemployment status went to active around 5 PM on Friday. It seems like they really couldn't verify my banking information. I had to call the bank Friday. Hopefully I will get my unemployment funds by Wednesday. That covers my part of the mortgage.
