i'm stressing out right now over money. i just found out that i didn't qualify for the unemployment extension since my claim began prior to may 2nd. what does this mean? as of the new year, my monthly income will be cut in half. yikes! i'm really scared - how will i make rent and pay bills and get my medications without that money?
i'm going to have to buckle down and get stuff going. i will have to get a second job as soon as possible and it will need to be something where i'm off my feet. i'll also have to get more stuff up on etsy and promote the heck out of it. i'll cut corners everywhere i can as i know it's impossible for me to move into a different home or apartment.
i will also have to be very firm with someone who owes me a great deal of money and get him to start paying. i helped him with a major family crisis two years ago when i had some extra money. he has barely paid any of it back and yet he's managed to take many vacations, buy a computer for his son and himself and move to chicago. i hate to press upon someone but desperate times...
please send me good energy - i will do the same for all of you as i know we're all in the same boat. i hate to whine, especially when i'm stuck in the house and can't do anything about it now, but it helps me to put it all down in writing. i hope this all passes and something great comes along very, very soon. we're all due for it!

Oh no........not at all good nor what I had hoped to find when I logged on this evening to check on you.
:( Oh Susie... :( Oh honey... I will help you market yourself. So, hopefully that will get the proverbial ball rolling. And of course, if I can muster a sale or two for you, via myself...we'll both be better...
:( man this makes me so sad to hear you're having to suffer financially. Because suffering financially means a lot of shit that you shouldn't or wouldn't have to deal with otherwise. And on that note, please know that you are NOT alone! I am right there beside you, even though you can't see me.
Oh S... don't sweat mailing me anything either, b/c you need to save your pennies...
I love thee...
You're gonna get through this... I'm currently channeling good vibes to you.
thank you, thank you, thank you! i just got so freaked out last night which was ridiculous as there really was nothing i could do right then. i'm sending out resumes by the dozens and i'm going to apply everywhere in my neighborhood. something will come through.
i also e mailed my dear friend and he's going to start sending me $100 a month. i feel like a heel for even putting anything about him in the blog but i was so stressed last night and i needed to get my thoughts in order.
i wish the best to everyone. we will all get through this!
i join Darlene in the invisible web of support, and i'm sending you loads of love and positive energy! maybe in the funniest way this is just the push you need to get your Etsy store rolling full steam ahead? if me and Amber can do okay on Etsy, with ZERO marketing savvy and a general blind-leading-the-blind approach, you should be able to rocket to the top. people really do make a good living on Etsy! if you're bumming go and read the "Quit Your Dayjob" posts in the Etsy community section!!!! You will know that you can succeed just as these folks have done, and even better in fact. Even my postperson said "out of hard economic times comes great opportunity for some"-- and he's a cerified public servant, wouldn't he know?!?!?
xoxox to you!!!
