It's Wednesday - It's COLD - And I Have a Million Errands *Sigh*

Another delightful night with "The Curse of Oak Island" and DH complaining about how they will bring in the 10 foot caissons next week, and then leave the season right there, on the brink again. He's right - there are only 13 episodes in this season, and last night was episode 12. So, they'll bring in the caissons, set us up for next season, and drop us. ARGH! 

Like many of you, I'm an "acorn" and totally addicted 
to the TV show. The producers certainly know how to 
drag things out, and it's to their benefit to do so. The 
audience, however, is getting restless and won't be happy 
when next week's episode leaves us hanging one more 
time. Still, we're closer to a resolution than we've 
ever been, and I do think things will wrap up this 
coming season. 

I spent a while taking detail photographs of the trade beads I'll be putting up on Etsy. It was slow at the shop (it was VERY cold), so I had plenty of time to take the photos. Today I'll download them and organize them. I'll need to take a careful look at the parameters for putting items up on-line once again. The goal is to have things up by the end of the month. I think I can manage that. 

These Yellow Cross beads are more rare than 
I had thought. I'm putting a single strand up 
for sale, and I have one more strand in 
reserve, as well as several in the white color. 
People are asking 3X the price I had intended 
to put on them, so I'd better research these a 
bit more before posting them for sale. 

But prices for similar items are all over the board. A strand of what I'm planning to sell in the mid-thirties, might range from $20 to more than $60. There's one strand I'm planning to put up that's very rarely found on-line, and when it is, it's usually close to $100. I think I usually have had them priced at $35. I think I'll have to increase that price - LOL. So ... more research ahead, to be sure. 

K-Tape is a lifesaver. I don't need it often, but 
when I do, I need it right then - not taking time 
to go to the pharmacy and buy another roll. 
I need one more roll, I'm getting down to the 
bottom of my current one. 

I'm covering my deep cut once more time with K-Tape, and then I think I'll be fine. I might put band-aids on it again when I return home from the swimming pool, but not necessarily. It seems to be healing well, and I would rather leave it uncovered to heal faster. I'll take a critical look when I can, closer to noon today, probably. 

My dentist is suggesting a custom upper teeth retainer 
that I would wear overnight. It's certainly worth a try. 
Teeth that can move (even slightly) indicates a problem 
with the jaw bone, and we'd like to keep that as 
minimal as possible to head off future problems that 
won't be as easy to handle. 

So, the usual errands, grocery shopping, and computer work are on my agenda for today. It's currently -14 F (-25.5 C), so I'm not really going to want to be outside for any great length of time. I need groceries, though. So Whole Foods and my local grocer are on my agenda today. I'll be happy to return home, though. I have an appointment with my dentist for a retainer fitting - I've been wanting to get a handle on the very slight (but annoying) movement of my upper front teeth, and she suggested this as an alternative to more invasive braces or something similar. I'm in favor of less invasive, so I'll be at the dental office around 7:15 am or so. So it's a busy day. Have an excellent Wednesday and I'll return tomorrow. Peace to all.
