2/16/2019 9:07 pm: i hate to admit this, but nothing i have has sold yet. i am trying to get sales in the Henderson Yardsale group since cash is fast. i still havent sent Lorrie's package, but ive been broke 2 weeks. I got so lucky yesterday i bought vintage poetry books for mere quarters. I need to step up my game. On the bright side, ive got offers - but the size doesnt fit them. I need to take photos with them on. (How on  Earth do i take photos of the thick jacket ones?) Also thinking i might need to start selling my valuables - push my comics and handmade belongings. i keep telling myself i have to stay positive - im going back to work, ill be strong, my friend said God is working hard to get me back on my feet. i must be strong and patient. I want to leave my partner because he doesnt work. he is very lazy when he knows he should work more hours he succumbs to three days off in a row. and he relies on me with my donations and me selling my belongings. Thanks to Brandon, I was able to have clean clothes, water, and pay $50 towards my last visit - where i had a nerve conduction test. So, thinking of items close to me because i still dont know whats wrong with my arm.

it must have been tendon damage. but i degriss. back to my Etsy shop, Hyla Brook Books.

I need to ship Lorrie's book on Monday with the $5 i made from my vintage sewing book. Also i want to do a huge yarn destash. i did not realize i was wearing two necklaces at once - my blue azure necklace handmade and my baby locket, i've had since i was born. it's hard to downsize my huge jewelry collection. im debating selling my vintage jewelry and denim in my book store - i need to sell them and make some money for all these medical expenses and like ive said, you cant put all your eggs in one basket. and i love denim like i love poetry and jewelry and old books. (shrugs)

all in all, im proud im going back to work. i can do this and i will because im an impeccably strong woman, when i want something ill work hard. i have God and poetry now. I feel light ive remembered who i was, its like finding those necklaces were actually around your neck the whole time.
