I overslept, So Today's Blog is a Bit Rushed

Well, I overslept, so today's blog is short and a bit rushed. I have to get to the pool on time. I decided to put KT-tape over my wound and the band-aids. The KT-tape will handle the water without a problem, and will give one more layer of protection to the wound. I put new band-aids on it last night, after leaving it untouched for 24 hours. It looks a lot better, but it's definitely something that requires a serious deep heal. That's OK though. As long as it's healing, I can deal. 




KT Tape is not really made for the use I'm 
doing today, but it will work to keep my cut 
protected and relatively dry since I don't 
have a long-sleeved swim suit. I probably 
should get one though, I'll need it for the 
outdoor pool this summer. 



I'll be swimming on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week - a different schedule, but at least the three times a week I prefer. I'm listening to the next-to-last Amelia Peabody book right now. It's not as engrossing as the previous 18 because this one takes place in Palestine, not Egypt. It's the same cast of beloved characters, but without the magic of Egypt. Still, it's fun and I'm enjoying the listen. I'll be sorry to reach the end of this series, but then I think I'll dive back into the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. I already have at least the first third of these, and can buy the rest as needed. 




There are more books than this in the 
Stephanie Plum series. I don't like them 
quite as much as Amelia Peabody, but I 
already own quite a lot of them and they're 
entertaining enough to keep me laughing 
while I'm in the swimming pool or on the 
treadmill. 



DH wants to get our leather kits up on Ebay and ready to go by Monday. He's supposed to be dealing with Ebay, but all of a sudden I'm supposed to make this happen. That doesn't make me extremely happy, because I'm busy working on getting our Etsy account established and uploaded. I'll have to do some research at the shop today and see what is required for both of them. I'm not ready to upload my trade beads quite yet - I want some detail shots of each strand before I put them up, but apparently he is ready with the leather kits. So, we'll give on-line sales a whirl and see how it works for us. 




Etsy v Ebay? We're going to put things up on both 
websites, but different things. The leather kits that 
DH has been working on for photographs will be placed 
on Ebay. The trade beads that I've been working on
will go onto Etsy. They each have a different 
audience. We'll see how they do. He wants his 
stuff active no later than January 31st. 



On that note, I'm out of here. Have an excellent (and less rushed) day. I'm going to plug in my photos and I'll meditate while I'm in the car, freezing until the doors are ready to be unlocked at the gym. Today's temperature is deadly - -10 F (-23.3 C) right now. Fortunately not a lot of wind, so minimal additional wind chill, but still - damned cold. I'll be back tomorrow, hopefully a bit less rushed.
