After a hiatus due to being very depressed because I was turned down for chemo I am back and feeling like my old self. I quit holding meetings due to non-interest but am considering trying anew. I fin it difficult to believe no one needs suppost, it sure would be helpful for me. Maybe I should advertise via radio and TV. There are free options for doing so.

Right before Yule my beloved companion, Primo, a rescued Maltese dog, got sick, and after rushing him to the hospital, I found out he ahd a massive infection in his teet. We ahd to pull 4, and he will lose all of them. My vet bill was $600 and it was a godsend they let me bill it, but on SSI it is difficult to budget. I'm doing it though a little at a time.

I have begun making glycerin and goatsmilk soaps, handcrafting using melt and pour bases. I have no room nor resources to afford all the supplies to handmake from scratch. I also make milk baths and lotion uisng a premade base. It is a fun hobby, very satisfying, and I will be going to two markets this year, my first. Man, am I nervous!
