Commission Work (Patreon)

I'm wrapping up what I'm hoping is my final commission of the year.

Then I'm a feature in a Human Library/Fringe Fest event, Sept 17th.

Then I mail out 125 books in 93 packages the week of Sept 19th.

Bubble wrappers, cover stickers, and a PO Box are ordered and processing!  My prints and free stickers I have already produced!

The only remaining components are mailing stickers, and the art stickers.  The former is of no major concern, the latter I'm waiting for a quote back.  There's a local Black Owned printer that I'm looking forward to doing business with.  In a pinch I'll order them online.

Worst case scenario the books go out Sept 26th, and I have a feeling this wouldn't cause a major uproar.

I'm a bit stressed.

I've been having sad feelings.  Saying goodbye to Summer is very difficult for me, but also I am saying goodbye to Alex who is now working full-time out of the house.  We have only just begun that transition, neither of us have found stable footing, let alone our grooves.

Additionally I've been shifting in and out of panic regarding Kickstarter.  Feelings of inadequacy and dread are only just feelings.  I fear being seen as a failure.  When I'm mindful, I can coax myself back to reality, but sometimes it hurts all day before I realize what's happening.

THAT FACE THO.  Gotta fix that neck and face.  Yikes.
