Apparently Casper mattresses found out that they do better at brick-and-mortar stores than online. Even Everlane is opening stores. 🤣 #retail #OnlineBiz

Decided to relist my tree eyes. My customers have needs! #OnlineBiz

Who has time to nap? Sold some journals so had to update all of my reports and tracking spreadsheets for 2023! I also think I need to do a supplies inventory today. I bought a shit-ton of supplies in December (to lower my tax burden). But I think I missed a few critical things. #OnlineBiz

Sales are up 26% at my #OnlineBiz this month. I expect it's the holiday rush, and they'll drop like a lead balloon in January.

On Weds when I have to be at #Bakery, I stuff all of my #OnlineBiz orders into the blue box in front of the post office. I don’t like to do this. I feel like I’m leaving my babies outside. Such is my busy life.

I didn't think anything could top November, but it's happening! December is now my busiest month ever. Sold 8 journals overnight last night. #LortHalpMe Scrambling to get them assembled and packaged up before my eight o'clock zooms begin. Luckily meetings are light today. I wish I also had time to get my weave done-did at the barber today. But I don't think that's in the cards. #TooBusy #CutABish #AlsoHangry #LivingOnCandyAndCoffee #OnlineBiz

Tracking all the en route packages for my #OnlineBiz like #AirportFlightControl at #OhareAirport. They all appear to be fine and set to land before Christmas.

Days before Christmas received order at #OnlineBiz with address that the USPS doesn't recognize as valid. And when googled, there is no house or building at that location. I emailed customer but they are unresponsive. And of course they will be angry with me for ruining their Christmas. I told them I would ship it to the non-existent address as presented on Monday morning if I don't hear back from them by then. There's really nothing else I can do but eat the loss when they rage, I guess.

Neato! Just realized that my actual webpage has report and chart tools in the commerce menu. I never bothered to play with them before because I do all of the accounting for my #OnlineBiz elsewhere. My wee hobby business will never buy me a yacht, but it's paying for itself, keeping me busy, and giving me a creative outlet. So yay!

I think the internet just died. And I am up to my neck in #OnlineBiz updates. #FML

Today is my first ever four-sales-in-one-day day! Lort! I'm tired! #OnlineBiz #GoMe

My cash register notification was poppin' all day yesterday. November is now officially my new busiest month ever. Go me! #OnlineBiz #HolidaySeason #BlackFriday

The bad news is that in month eleven of my #OnlineBiz, I had to blow almost $400 on supplies - paper, boxes, pens, tape. I am running out of everything! The good news is that sales have more than paid for it all and I'm still #InTheBlack. #GoMe

Two orders came in while I napped. #SleepingOnTheJob #OnlineBiz I don't know how the hell I'm gonna get them to the post office during a #Snowpocalypse. I suppose I'll figure that out tomorrow. #SnowBoots #UmpaLoompa
