Well. I had got into the habit of writing down the days events each day so this post was all ready to post on Wednesday or Sunday. But holy cow, have I had a few days of insanity.
We make a product ourselves here at home using our laser engraver. And in normal times we do reasonably well with it, it is a big seller among our customers. Over the uni holidays last year I suggested to the other half we try to make some stock so he wouldn’t have to be making them quite so often, and we had built up the stock levels to an OK place..
But then someone ordered one of those items, they posted it on Facebook, it got reposted and reposted and went a bit viral. We’ve got over 40 of these items in the queue waiting to be made now. So pretty much all we’ve done for the past couple of days is make them or take orders for them, except for those times when I ran to the post office to post the ones we made.
I did go to Woolworths once on Monday to get potatoes, cream, bread and tomatoes for the parents. I dropped into the post office first and ended up buying 200 post bags – nearly $200 dollars worth! – so that I could just not have to worry about buying them all the time. If you buy in bulk you get a big discount too. But I hadn’t been expecting to do that and I had parked some distance away, and I had to walk with these enormous boxes quite a long way.
We got our donut delivery – all eaten.
I got a delivery of Bath and Body Works – they were doing postal deliveries now in Australia YIPPEE :) but now it seems all that info has vanished! I can’t believe it, I was so excited to be able to order and then tell you about it too.. :/
Oh and in amongst all of this insanity we have been trying to build the business website. I remember now why we stopped building websites for people.
I am going to post this and take a well deserved evening off, if I can. ;)
Catch up with these other folks blogging about our new normal. :)

Should your blog be listed here? Leave me a comment and it will be next time. :)
That doughnut looks fabulous! Hope you’re having/had a relaxing evening off.
Oh that photo! I think I NEED one of those. Hope you’ll share your business website. I realized I have no idea what you do and am now very interested. Thanks!
Yes, I too would love to see your website when it’s completed. So, just hurry up and get it done! 8-)
