It Never Rains...But it POURS!

You know how the old saying goes, "I have good news, and bad news....which one do you want first?"  It's been like that here today!

I got my very first EVER actual, real, bona fide order through my website today!  Yay!  Celebration!  Except, it's for 8 oz. tins, which I don't have in stock at the moment, because I made a bunch of samples for the hubby to take to work and that was what I used for them since I only had a few left, I think 8 or so.  Sigh.  So, I placed an order with my local supplier to get some more, which I'll go pick up on Tuesday because I'll be off for my birthday.  Thank goodness, a crisis averted! 

So, sat down to do my taxes...and got a nasty surprise in that instead of the government owing me...I owe THEM.  Not good....not good at all!  I had plans for whatever tax refund I was going to get this year, but there goes that.  And not only am I NOT getting the tax refund, but I have to PAY, too!  I could live without getting a refund as long as I didn't owe the IRS anything, because that would mean I'm keeping my money in my pockets, instead of in the government's.  Alas, it seems I'm keeping TOO much of my money in my pockets!

On top of all this, I am SICK as a DOG.  I have some kind of crazy head cold, sinus thing going on and it's NOT fun.  I feel like that big nose in the commercials, you know?  And I'm talking like "dis."  "Honey, bould you hand be de Kleenex, pwease?" 

Yeah....it's been that kind of day.  Really, it's been that kind of WEEK!  I'm ready for a long hot soak in the tub, I'll tell you!
