Weekly update. . . Holiday break

Well, it is November the holidays are approaching, and I think I'm taking a break from business, social media, etc.  I'm not closing or anything crazy, the shops will remain open, and any orders will get processed and shipped, but I'm not planning on advertising or posting (much). 

I am feeling pretty frustrated and burnt-out and have other things to worry about. This has literally been the worst year of sales for RainbowMaille in its' decade of existence. I'm pretty sure I said that last year but with the move this spring and months of being closed on top of zero in-person events. . .yikes. 😒 Aside from the existential "what's the point?" spiral there are other things in life like my health and my husband. 

I know I don't usually do many details on either. 😅 However, I did mention last week that I had a "minor medical procedure" that was the removal of a Nexplanon implant no big deal really that's a tiny incision that healed well, I'm fine. Ok, as fine as a woman menopausing can be. 😣 Are hot flashes supposed to come with gut-wrenching nausea? How about dizziness and vision changes? Is this frozen shoulder thing normal? Why do I gain weight when I don't eat?  If you are a man, be glad you will never understand the hell that is a woman's hormones. 

Circling back to the point of the post I'm taking an extended break for my health, for my mental health, and oh yeah, we are likely moving again soon. 

So that art photography project is never getting finished, which is fine my cat killed part of the succulents I was using as photo prop so the continuity I was going for in the photos was going to be impossible anyway.  

In the meantime, I have noodles to make so. . . .

Happy Thanksgiving

Merry Christmas

I'll see y'all after New Year 😇
