Weekly Mileage #195 and an Acrylic Project

detail of the etching

Monday was cold and rainy. I had planned on taking Max for a run, but decided not to. I enjoyed staying in bed a little longer, then got going on tasks for the day. 

I engraved a cutting board, then figured out how to buy shipping labels for two packages through my site. This took longer than I wanted, but it was good to play around with the backend and see that I actually need to set up my shipping settings better. 

Playing with engraving settings also took awhile, then I did a full test engrave on a tester cutting board, which is when I found out that the full engrave takes an hour. I still had the final engrave on the nice cutting board, which took another hour. Since the engraving took a lot longer than I anticipated, I didn't make it to the UPS store until after 5, but they were still open, so still a win. 

After dinner I finished uploading and editing past posts and am finally caught up. I need to stay a little more on top of things- I ended up losing mileage data for two weeks because I wasn't pulling it off my Garmin for the posts. Everything else was ok (I jot notes about each day on a daily basis), just that data was missing.

frozen puddle on our run

Tuesday I went for a cold trail run with Max. It was below freezing, but the soggy trails were already thawing out, so it's good we didn't go any later in the day. I'm sure they were pretty muddy by afternoon.

After music lessons and speech therapy I did the grocery shopping I didn't have time for on Monday since the cutting board took so long.

That evening I cut up oranges, lemons, and apples with the boys and put them in the dehydrator to make a dried fruit garland.

Wednesday we woke up to wet, icy conditions, which ditched my plans to run before the snow started. I had no desire to drive on icy roads. We ended up with a very wet, icy snow/sleet mix that day. The forecast called for 2-4",  but I think we only got about 1/2".

Max thought the snow was great

as did the boys, of course

River insisted on strapping on his snowshoes (Christmas present last year) and heading outside. He didn't care that the snow wasn't deep enough and was way too wet, he wanted to try them out!

After my accountability call, I worked on my course. I'm still finalizing projects and steps for the tutorials I need to write up. As I work on those, I'm making sure the tools are correct and materials are correct.

leather for the projects

Thursday we still had icy conditions. The roads were fine, but the ground was slushy and icy and not great for running on. I worked some more on the course projects, refining the order of instructions and other details.

We did get a little bit more snow during the night, but not much.

Ocean had a blast playing in the melting snow and making a mess, as he does. 

Our YW activity that night was to make salt dough ornaments via zoom, which was pretty fun, all things considered. I used wheat flour since gluten free flour is too expensive to be using in salt dough ornaments, but it made me a bit paranoid about touching anything, like my computer. 

Friday I finally sorted the boys clothes. They've been wearing shorts that needed to be put away till warmer weather returns and they've also been wearing pants that were too small. They just keep growing!

I finally got a non-blurry picture of Max!

I also worked on a custom notebook cover. I totally forgot that I had agreed to do it and it needed to be delivered the next morning. It was a pretty straightforward order, so I was able to get it done in plenty of time.

Saturday morning I went for a run with Max after handing off the notebook cover. The buyer was a nice guy who's made an effort to buy gifts from local makers this year, and he was heading out of town that day, which is why I needed to hand it off that morning.

There was still a little snow on the ground, as well as some frost.

That afternoon I worked on acrylic designs for light covers for my sister. I had a little bit of a learning curve while trying to cut them so they'd jigsaw together, but I got it to work. Eight designs took most of the day. The prep work on the images to get them ready to cut, then cutting each design twice- first from colored acrylic, then from clear acrylic. A couple also had a third cut from a different colored acrylic. And the clear acrylic sheets had to be cut down into four pieces before the shapes could be cut out of them. Time consuming, but not super difficult. Eventually I'll do three more of each design, but after a couple more tweaks I'll send these ones out to her to make sure they fit properly on her lights and look good.

My two favorites (with their paper backing still on):

I totally forgot until late evening that we'd planned on helping lay wreaths at a veterans cemetery. It was on my monthly calendar, but not my weekly calendar pages, and it'd been a few days since I checked my monthly calendar pages, so it was totally not on my radar. That was frustrating. Sunshine was supposed to use it for some of the service hours that she needs for rank advancement. It's hard to find service hours right now- everything has so many limitations.

Sunday I went for a hike with Max, though afterwards she still had a lot of energy from not enough exercise this week.

the fog was burning off by the end of our hike, but it was still pretty

After online church, I dropped off some treats for my ministering sisters, then relaxed a bit, which is highly unusual for me these days. 

I also finally got around to working on our ornaments to send to family members. It's been on my list for weeks, months maybe? I just haven't had time. They'll definitely be late this year. With everything that's been going on this year, I didn't do Christmas cards, either.

Jeremy got called up for jury duty. In our county, jurists are called for a one month period. He was given specific dates to contact the court house within that time frame to see if he'll be needed that day. His first date was Monday the 21st, but they didn't need him then. In reading through the paperwork he got last week, if I ever get called up, I'll have to get a doctor's excuse to not serve. You have to sit, pay attention, and not eat, drink, or have a cell phone during the proceedings (which makes sense), but those are all things that I employ to stay awake when just sitting. I'd be asleep so fast or struggling to stay awake and missing most of what's being said. It's sad, since I do think it's a civic duty we should be willing to take on, but it just wouldn't be physically possible for me.

Weekly Mileage # 194 and Business Stress

 

Monday we got a skiff of snow that melted pretty quickly.

snowflakes on a cobweb!

I went for a trail run with Max. She didn't seem to notice the snow since it wasn't on the ground- just on the leaves and tree trunks.

I worked on some small leather projects. I'll add them to my online shop and I'll be using some of them in the course I'm writing.

Tuesday I went for a hike with Max before music lessons.

I also finished the small leather projects. Small things go so quickly! A couple more tweaks and they'll be ready for pictures, shop listings, and tutorials.

I also worked some more on my course outline. I'm just about ready to start practicing my videos.

My doc called while I was finishing my hike. All my blood work is normal, which is good, except there's still no cut-and-dried explanation for why I'm having the issues I'm having. For now, we're operating on them being caused by my PCOS and will be working to treat that (I've been ignoring my PCOS for years) to see if that helps. She could refer me to an endocrinologist, but we're going to try this first. We're going to hold off on doing hormone testing until/if I go to the endocrinologist, since they'll be better able to interpret and treat any issues there and insurance may not cover getting them tested twice (which would inevitably happen). 

Wednesday I skipped my trail run with Max because I went in to get more blood drawn to test my cortisol levels, and it took way longer than I anticipated (the lab people were not in a hurry). Long enough that the pharmacy was open and I was able to pick up the prescription for the meds we're trying out. 

Benefits of smart phones and apps and all that: I received my blood work results on Saturday and Sunday and my doc messaged me about them on Sunday. My cortisol test results were available by mid-afternoon. They're fine, surprisingly enough. I was sure they'd be elevated since I get such crappy sleep and have midsection weight I can't lose (supposedly indicative of cortisol issues). So, good that I don't have cortisol issues, but frustrating since we still don't know for sure why I have such a hard time losing weight. PCOS can definitely cause weight issues, which is why we're focusing on it for now.

After my accountability call, my order of bamboo magnifying glasses arrived from China, so I finished assembling a bucket and took pictures of my nature journaling bundle. I also edited pics and got the listing written and IG posts up. Then I edited my original bucket listings to try to eliminate some potential sources of confusion. 

one of the pics I added to my listings

Thursday I went for a below-freezing trail run with Max.

When I got home, I checked my Instagram and torpedoed my day reading a direct message. The writer accused me of ripping off her product sources and research with my nature journaling bundle. Now, I did ask her where she got the watercolor set she has in hers (just an art supply site that I could easily find with a google search), but I sourced everything else myself. Yes, they are similar, but they're not the same. She has a kid-size messenger bag and binoculars. I have my waxed canvas bag and a magnifying glass and an eraser. We both have colored pencils (different brands), watercolors (same brand), and a small canning jar for water. I'd had friends suggest an art or nature bundle in my buckets before I ever found her on IG. Was there some inspiration from her? yes. Was it copied? no.

I read the message then had to head out and run some errands, and all I could think about the whole time was her accusation. I'm a non-confrontational person and hate dealing with this kind of thing. I got a message written finally- trying to balance explanation, denial of ripping off, while not being totally on the offense. I managed it, but only appeased her because I also deleted my IG posts sharing my nature journaling kits (my choice, because I didn't want this to explode into something messy). 

This is someone who I've exchanged several messages about leatherworking-related topics, she's got a much, much larger following than I do, and I didn't want her burning me on her account. I can't afford that kind of bad publicity at this stage in building my business. 

My take-away from this? There are a lot of creators who tout the "community, not competition" line, but she is clearly not one of them. She obviously feels threatened by my product (which is much better quality all around, IMO) and can't handle the competition, despite the fact that there is more than enough space for both of us to market our products. It's rather sad, actually. But you have to choose your battles and this isn't one I'm willing to impale myself on. It's not worth it at this stage in the game. 

So, I won't post about them on IG, but I still have them on my site and Etsy and I'll see if the consignment shop is interested in carrying them, as well. I only bought enough pencils and watercolors (the most expensive parts) for three bundles, so I'm not too worried about it. Just frustrated.

It doesn't help that I'm feeling off because of the new meds I'm on. Not horrible, just a bit off (which is why I hate taking meds- most I've tried over the years make me feel not myself to some degree or another, and I hate it), and it's making me more tired. When you're already always tired, more tired isn't a good thing. Supposedly it will help with energy, concentration, hormone issues, and so on, but it can take awhile to get there. But when combined with all the stress of this situation, it jacked up my anxiety levels and I was just a bundle of nerves and emotions.

In the artist/maker world there's really no such thing as an original idea. Everything is always inspired by something else, and has been for centuries. My waxed canvas and leather buckets were loosely inspired by a canvas tool bucket I saw at Harbor Freight. I'm sure at some point someone will replicate/copy/adapt my design. It's a fact of life when you're a creator. Am I going to tell them to stop? No. there's enough room for all of us, and it's not worth the hassle. I'd rather direct my energies towards creating things, not tilting after wind mills. So while she's sitting there claiming this is her idea that she's been developing for several years, that's just not the case. I talked to a friend about this and she said she gets sent similar things all the time to review and promote (she's an Instagram influencer in my target market <outdoorsy, interest led homeschoolers> who I know in real life and work with in YW).

I finally managed to calm myself down enough to focus on fixing my Facebook pixel (so everything integrates properly between my shop, instagram, and facebook). I found the issue a couple weeks ago, and tried to figure it out then, but ran out of time and brain power. I've been putting it off, but it had to be done sooner, rather than later, so it was past time to take care of it. Unfortunately, I still can't figure it out, so I'm going to have to hire someone to do it.

That evening, I had a Stake youth planning meeting for Stake Standards Night in February, followed by ward council. Both meetings were online, and by the time everything was said and done, I was just exhausted.

Friday I walked with Max while my sister and I vented to each other about our issues. We had park day in our back yard, which was less stressful than going somewhere, and just what I needed.

Thankfully, I was also feeling better and the side effects weren't nearly as bad. One thing about the nausea and lack of appetite from the meds is that it's made it a lot easier to get back on the low carb train. So one positive from dealing with this mess.

In the late afternoon, we all headed into the big city for a virtual Tacky Light Run we'd signed up for. There was 5 or 6 different courses this year so people could spread out, and we chose the shortest course, which also happened to be the closest one. Unfortunately, when we got there, we found that the neighborhood we were supposed to be walking through had no sidewalks (and no roads were closed, but I knew that part). We'd brought lights, but not enough for walking down the street in the dark. So we just drove the course, looking at the cool lights, then went to get dinner and the stuff for Sunshine's trail snack.

Saturday morning Sunshine and I helped man the Scout Christmas tree lot. It was much nicer than last year, when we did it in the dark. It was still cold, but there were others to talk to and we actually sold some trees.

After our shift was done, we went home to change and grab stuff, then headed back out for a Scout hike. Sunshine needed to prepare a trail snack for her cooking merit badge, otherwise we probably wouldn't have gone. But it turned out to be a really nice day for a hike (it warmed up to the mid-60s, and sunny) and we hiked 6 or 7 miles around a local reservoir. My Garmin said about 6 miles, the trail map claims about 7 miles.

There were a couple chain saw statues along the trail. I got a picture with this owl one since I'm in the owl patrol at Wood Badge.

I've realized I don't actually like hiking in groups that include non-family members. It's super awkward when you get stuck at the back of the group and those in front of you are going so slow. Thankfully, that only happened for a bit, then we were back out in front. Sunshine surprised me by being one of the scouts to lead out- she set a good, consistent pace and was able to keep it up pretty much the entire time.

Sunday I walked Max before virtual YW class, in-person church, and virtual ward youth council.

I worked on catching up on previous posts that were started, and even had the photos uploaded, but never received their final polish/edit so they could be published. I need to upload photos to another group of posts before I'll be truly caught up. I like to do it on Sundays (since it's my version of journaling), but Sundays are so busy with all the meetings that I don't always have time or energy to do it, which puts me further and further behind.

Weekly Mileage #193 and a Scout Campout

River playing in the rain in the woods

Monday I skipped my run with Max. It was cold and very rainy, and neither of us were up for it. I did manage to do the grocery shopping, though. 

I had planned on stopping by the shop to pick up the business card holder I forgot last week when I dropped off buckets. But that batch already sold out, so I'll go in on Thursday, when I've had time to sew a few more. We're also renegotiating terms so I get to keep a higher percentage, and they want to try stocking one of my totes! Super exciting.

I've also been talking to the homeschool co-op we've attended about doing a leatherwork class there. I wanted to do it in the spring, when classes can hopefully be held in person. Initially they wanted me to do it virtually this winter, but I wasn't keen on the idea of lending out my tools, and it could have been problematic if tools were lost. The co-op realized that as well, so we're looking at the spring term. It would have been a great opportunity to make sure my teaching techniques and lesson plans are up to snuff, but it also would have added a lot of stress right when I'm trying to launch my course. If it could have been held in person, I would have definitely moved forward with doing the co-op class in the winter.

Tuesday we walked on the paved path since the trails were still muddy from Monday's rain.

After music lessons I drove Jeremy to the VA hospital for his shot in his back. The last one was before the shutdown, and while he had one scheduled a month or so ago, it had to be pushed back because of some medication he took when he tweaked his back.

While I waited for him, I sewed notebook pages. Some for orders, some for another project.

When we got home, I finished the notebooks, then started assembling some buckets.

Wednesday Sunshine had an orthodontist appointment, and she had me take a picture of Jack Sparrow. He used to just wear a mask, but apparently he's been feeling rather festive lately. 

A rare, non-blurry photo of Max.

Wednesday I had my accountability meeting in person after a trail run with Max. Afterwords I worked on more buckets.

That evening was a youth dive club planning meeting. I'm getting roped into helping set things up. I think I'm in charge of finances/fundraising (at least it's not planning and organizing outings, which was one of the available positions). I have mixed feelings about this. I'm already so busy, but this is something Sunshine is interested in. There's not actually a lot of things she is interested in, so I want to support her as much as possible. They only meet once or twice a month, so it will hopefully be manageable.

I almost finished some more buckets to take in to the shop, but it was late and I needed to get to bed.

We moved park day to Thursday since the weather was supposed to be crummy on Friday. I brought the buckets along to sew on the handles. We also walked the trails near the playground. I knew they were there, but we've never walked them.

pretty sure he only sat there for a minute :)

they were fishing with sticks

After our hike, we hurried home for Ocean's speech therapy appointment. Then I had a chiropractor appointment. On my way home, I stopped by the shop to drop off more buckets and a tote and pick up the business card holder I'd forgotten last time.

When I got home, I worked on the listings for my online shop.

Just before dusk, Max got out and ranged further than she has yet (every time she gets out, she goes further). She almost got hit running across the busy road with cars that speed, then ran through the woods  behind the houses the next street over. Sunshine and I finally cornered her when she went up on someone's fenced-in deck. We totally freaked out the homeowners, who came to see what was going on. I clocked at least two miles chasing after her.

After that Sunshine and I went to a youth activity: socially distant parking lot caroling. It was more fun than I thought it might be :)

Sunshine likes wearing my jackets- this is my Patagonia fleece that I bought my freshman year of college. She's trying to claim it as hers, but I'm not giving it up.

Friday I went for a trail run with Max. The bad weather held off till evening, but it was chillier than Thursday had been, so moving our park day was a good choice.

Jeremy and I went to Tractor Supply and Lowes looking for gates for the porch stairs to keep Max from running. We ended up with an extra wide baby gate for the front porch that we hoped would work for the kitchen porch, but it didn't. The livestock gate we'd considered getting for the kitchen porch was out of stock at the Tractor Supply closest to us, so we didn't have a solution for it.

Ocean had speech therapy makeup since we missed it on Tuesday. Then Sunshine cleaned the car so I could set mouse traps. Once again, we have at least one mouse in the car. It happens almost every winter, and it's so gross to find mouse poop everywhere.

That afternoon I had a doctor appointment, so on the way there, I stopped by the Tractor Supply on the other side of town and got the gate we wanted. As I expected, the doctor appointment was inconclusive. We did some blood work which will hopefully point us in the right direction. I have some hormonal imbalances, I'm pretty sure. Whether they're causing my heat intolerance is unknown at this point. I also got a referral to a cardiologist to make sure the sporadic tachycardia isn't an issue to be worried about. My sleep doc was concerned about POTS, but the closest POTS specialist is two and a half hours away, so we're going to eliminate as much as we can now. I don't have all the POTS symptoms, so it's not worth just sending me there.

That evening, Sunshine and I did prep work for a Scout campout on Saturday.

Saturday we were up bright and early. We'd caught a mouse in one of the mouse traps and hopefully that's the only one that was in there. Then we headed out to the Scout camp for a campout, though we just stayed the day and drove home that night.

It was pretty low-key. The girls worked on knots and lashing and then did some of the requirements for the pioneering merit badge. The pictures below show Sunshine using ropes and pulleys in different configurations to move logs.

They also built a monkey bridge. Nobody (including the adults) had ever built one before, so it was a learning experience for everyone. FYI, it should not be this high off the ground.

One adult tried it out, but none of the girls were allowed to, for safety purposes.

Sunshine cooked two meals and a dessert for her cooking merit badge.

It was cold, but not rainy. If we'd been a bit more active, it would have been easier to stay warm, but we weren't moving around a lot, so I got chilled and had a hard time warming up once we got home.

Sunday we had virtual stake conference and I had a class presidency meeting. It's been so hard to get the girls together and plan things.

We usually put our shoes by the door, but this year is different. Max would chew on them, so we put them on the top of her crate. She could still reach them, but at least we didn't forget about them and open her crate with them still on the floor.

I forgot to record my mileage from my Garmin before it disappeared (it only hangs around for two weeks), so I had to guess on some of this week's mileage. I'm probably a little under, but not by much.

November Mileage

shadow runners during our virtual turkey trot

November was ... challenging.

I worked towards taking Max for a daily run or walk, which is good for both of us, but is also stressful. I can't quite handle a daily walk or run yet, but I'm getting there and figuring out what I can do without wearing myself out physically or stressing myself out mentally. Max is much calmer for the more regular exercise, so it's worth the effort.

My bike miles stagnated, as I knew they would when I switched my focus to getting outside every day with Max, but I'm ok with it. My foot miles are increasing and I hit the 52 hike mark, and it's not the last week of December!
