Saturday Update! (Patreon)

Hello again my friends! It's the first Saturday Update of 2023!! I hope you guys all had a lovely new year and pleasant holidays!

I'm afraid I don't have a whole lot to update with this week though ^^; Last week I was dealing with my new dakimakura merch launch and packing up the orders was a 10-12hr every day job. It absolutely ground my bones into dust LMAO

But I am now over the hump! The rush orders have died down and I have a manageable workload again.

Financially, I think things went fairly well! I haven't quite paid off my order yet but I think I'm gonna break even on it fairly soon, so that's great. I have avoided disaster at the very least!

First I had to go through all the boxes and organize the merch, it was kinda random pillows put in random boxes so I had to sort them into characters LMAO

Then I took photos of all the new and old keychains to make my store look more professional and unified.

It was quite a bit of work to take all the pics and edit them, but I think my store looks so much nicer now!!

Then I launched the listings and it was 3 days of packing pit. This was really very difficult and exhausting LMAO just full 10-12 hour shifts of packing order after order. I ended up filling these six Ikea bags TWICE and having to drive to the post office every day with them. 

I'm so glad the rush is over 😩 Because truly I was at my physical limit there

On Friday I was finally able to clean my apartment somewhat [ although there are still boxes crowding my eating area... I have nowhere else I can put them ^^; ] and now my office is clean and in a more permanent setup for merch packing.

I had to grab a drawer thing from wal mart [ behind my chair ] to keep the dakis in so I have them at my hands like the keychains in the morning.

My apartment is becoming very cramped LMAO but thats what happens when you try and run a business out of a one bedroom BAHA

Anyways, that's all I have for the week really. I wish I could have gotten some DLC work done but the merch ate all my time. Next week though it's back to work on DLC sprites! Excited to get back to that!

I hope you guys have a safe and fun weekend!! And thank you so much for your generous support 🥺
