Ups and Downs

[soc_puppet]

I had the deep misfortune today of scraping my thumb on the mechanical dough cutter at work while I was trying to disassemble it for cleaning. This wouldn't be quite so bad, but it was exactly over where the scar from when that same thumb got cut last December. My only words on that are "Ouch," and a weary, heartfelt sigh.

I did end up leaving work a bit early today, since there wasn't much to do; this turned out well for me, since I wanted to drop off my stuff at the ICON art show before it got too late. Luck was really in my favor, because I managed to get everything set up within minutes of the art show closing for the evening, and I sold three items while setting up, already covering the meager table fees. I hope the rest of the art show goes at least as well!

Yoohoo!

One of the joys of aging is realizing that injuries repeat because that's how I use my body. Layers of scars as memoir.

/whoa, too heavy.

That is... something I hadn't really considered before. Ugh. Useful to know, but the kind of thing I really wish wasn't useful.

glad your art show is going well!

Thanks! I collected the remainders today, and I'd estimate my sales totaling around $200 😁 Part of that is that I sold a big ticket item (a constellation dragon for $115), so I still have a fair number of smaller items left, though I never actually restocked a number of the smaller items from last year 😅 I do plan to add a few big ticket items to my to-do list for this year, though!

Oh that's a pretty one
