My Fibromyalgia is kicking my butt, and has been for the last month. I think it's mostly the cold weather we are having. It's so hard to keep moving forward when every inch of your body hurts. This time both hands are affected. I try to grab something with either hand and let out a yelp of pain and drop whatever I am trying to hold onto. It scares me to think, what am I going to be like in five, ten or fifteen years from now? Will I even be able to get out of bed? Pray for me, please!
Amos is starting to get very snuffly right now. I think he's getting an upper respiratory infection again. (He's the one that the vet feels might have a growth up his nostril and has constant drainage). He's still eating and drinking just fine though. Usually when he gets congested he can't smell the food and stops eating. I think this weekend I'll have to take him to St. Francis 24 hour veterinary hospital in Orchards, WA. They have the best vets there. Dr. Baker, Dr. Stanhope, Dr. Martin and Dr. Tuason are so intelligent and really know what they are doing. They all seem to care about your pets and are so helpful. The most fun doctor is Polly Martin. She is so sweet and down to earth. Dr. Stanhope reminds me of a genius. He's not a very social person until you get to know him, but I would trust him to operate on my favorite pet without even giving it a second thought. Dr. Tuason is new, but I think she is going to be very good once she gets rooted into the hospital. What can I say about Dr. Baker? He is the owner of the hospital, such a sweet person and an excellent doctor as well!
My Avon business is dying and I may be giving it up soon. With the shipping and handling, cost of brochures and outlets it's costing me about thirty dollars a campaign. I didn't get into this to give them my money but to make money. I also have a customer who returns about 1/3 of what she buys. These items must be returned to Avon on my dime. I have to then give her credit or replace her item with something of equal value. Say she returns something she paid 19.99 for. My cost for that item was 12.99 because I had a good campaign. Two campaigns later I have a bad campaign and only get twenty percent off and she wants to order something for 24.99 and pay the extra 5.00. In theory that sounds fine, right? At 20%(my cost) that 24.99 item is $20.00 to me...they gave me 12.99 credit for the other item so I owe Avon $12.00 (7 dollars my money 5 dollars her money). So I'm out seven dollars for her return on that one. Then she returned a pair of slippers. I have to send them back at around 10.00 postage. I paid $7.99 for them and subtracted $9.99 off her next order. I'm just going to have to stop this bleeding or I will have no more money. I'm going to give it two more campaigns and then quit if the orders don't start coming in.
As depressing as it is.....that's the update from here.
