I came down with a head cold on Saturday. It started with throat tightening and nausea and it’s progressed to a sore throat on Sunday, then on Monday it went to my nose and now it’s turned into a nasty cough. I REALLY hope I get better by Halloween night as I have a psychic reading event in Salem and blowing my nose constantly or coughing constantly in front of people is just gross!

The following Sunday, I am driving down to Hyannis to drop my products off at Seaporium. And the following week I’ll be picking up artwork from the BPL as well as potentially going to a portfolio review. I will also be going to Holyoke to pick up artwork as well as my fall shows are ending.

My proposal for the Guggenheim Fellowship competition progressed to the next round of work samples, so I have to get those together.

I finally have gotten in touch with my Bliss client again, apparently they sent me something about the craft shows I was supposed to work at a few weekends ago but I never received it, but it was OK since they said they didn’t need extra help anyway… anyway we’ll be speaking on Thursday.

I also think my ear closed up again, or is starting to, so thankfully I have my appointment with them on Thursday. I hope it’s just my head cold, but I’m not sure.

In general, I’ve just been resting, regaining some strength as I am running out of steam. I really want to go on vacation to visit my friends in the south but I can’t afford to at the moment. Honestly, I’m not really sure when the next vacation will be for me. Italy wasn’t really a vacation as I was making artwork … lol and I’m still paying it off. I know $600 isn’t a lot but considering work is slow at the moment, it’s taking a long time for me to pay it off…

I just hope something more stable comes to me soon.
