My Christmas wine glass charms made it into the Folksy Christmas Entertaining Guide. First thing I've ever had in one of the site chosen collections.

About halfway through the photos now, and only 2 more product descriptions to write.
I've been told several times by other sellers that photo editing and product description writing are 2 things I could use AI for, but I'm so glad I never did. I'm 100x better at it now that I was 6 months ago.

Three hours later, photos still not started.
Someone edit and crop these 40 photos for me 😢. It'll actually only take me a couple of hours tops, but it's the task I procrastinate on the most.

Periodic reminder that you do not 'create things' with AI, you use AI to avoid creating things. You have done nothing. You have learned nothing. You have created nothing. There is no imprint of you in the work. It is worth less than nothing and you wasted a crap ton of electric and water doing it.

If you don’t understand how disability benefits can be a net economic positive…
You don’t understand basic economics.
Every £1 you cut from disability benefits, you cut nearly £2 from the economy.
And you harm a vulnerable person.

I've really got to stop arguing with dickheads on Facebook, but I would love to know why 'uneducated' is always their go to insult. It annoys me because there's no way to respond without sounding like a prick 😂

I would like someone to point me in the direction of a wish-granting entity who can just tell me what it is people will want to buy. Then I can make that.

Today's excavation of the past treasures of three generations was rougher than anticipated. Found a few bits to hopefully sell, and had a few reminders that went back in the cupboard. It's not getting easier or less overwhelming, but it's got to be done.

Two of my favourite characters to write are Irish. I am trying to convince myself this is not a good enough reason to learn Irish, especially as I don't have a natural aptitude for languages. I kind of want to do it anyway though. Might need to clear some other stuff first...

Today I pay the price for pretending I had normal person energy for two and a half days. My hands don't really work and hurt like a bitch. Energy is set to 'not today, bitch'. And I ache like I've got the flu. Sadly, I still have a shit ton to do, so my day is going to suck in all the wrong ways.

I'm 48, so I've seen a few American presidents. It's bizarre and terrifying to me that watching the US president speak is now... this.
The biggest responsibility someone this ill should have, is collecting up the pens after bingo at the care home (obviously this particular one belongs in prison).

Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."

I will never understand why people are so weird about porn and kink. Was chatting to a friend of decades, and found out she thinks I'm hiding this account out of shame because I 'look at rude stuff' (she's in her 40s 🙄). I had no idea she thought that, just because I haven't shared it with her.

You've been kidnapped! The characters from the last TV show you watched are your only hope for rescue. Who's coming to save you?
I think I'm going to be ok, but things might get weird, messy, or blow up.

I don't know why I thought I'd get away with pushing so hard three days running. I don't know why I thought I'd be able to put my body's revenge off until I was ready. I think these are just the reassuring lies we tell ourselves with chronic illness when we're about to make Really Bad Decisions.

Tonight's work might have to be delayed until pain reduces to non-vomit-inducing levels. Stupid shoulder.

Yeah, that wasn't smart. There is not enough caffeine in the world. I need a miracle.
Prioritising having a shower over the other things I really have to find the energy for today might be an error of judgement, but there is only one way to be sure...

If my mother in law refers to me as woman or girl one more time I shall scream!! She understands what nonbinary means. She just can't be bothered.

Looks like we're going to be relying on caffeine to provide the energy my body didn't. If it could provide me with the desire to tackle the massive to do list as well, that would be awesome. I have good stuff to make today, but I also need to shower, wash up, and cook, and that's already too much.
