First day back to work after the break, and of course, I had 99 problems (in the form of having 99 invoices to process, ha ha). But they're done, and hopefully there won't be too many invoices to deal with tomorrow. Hopefully.

Of course, I've had gratuitous amounts of caffeine to find the focus to get through what I managed to get through, so my brain is like 'we're laser! let's do things!', which um. Body says no, ha ha. Like, the thing I really wanna do is defur the stairs, because it's been a bit and they're kind of foggy with the fur. Even with good tools, it takes a bit of welly, and [welly not found (legit, where are my wellies?! xD)].

Maybe I can turn some of the focus-not-energy into writing some ISG bits to poke with. I didn't get much done last week because kids off school/me off work, but that's fine too. We're still slumbering a bit, though hopefully spring/soon/etc.

As it were, the weekly craft and chat is in a hour, so. Good time to poke one's head in.

Indie Sellers Guild – Promoting the interests of online sellers of handmade, unique, vintage and craft goods.

Happy Friday, for those who celebrate. xD I got the work thing done, the children aren't on fire, so. Can't complain overmuch, ha ha.

Today I have been shaking a stick at my friends trying to see if anyone is interested in joining the Indie Sellers Guild. I don't have a lot of friends or followers across the internet, so smol audiences. *chuckles* But I believe the guild is a force for good, and I want to do my bits to get people to engage with it. If any of y'all seeing this are interested in joining up (it's free) to socialise with other crafters/designers/indie sellers:

Community site: https://www.isgco.org
Discord: https://discord.gg/rJhMzV3W

Hopefully we can get things moving enough soon to do something, like standing up against the push for ID to access the internet. I'd love to see that happen, but yanno... need people around. :D

Right. Happy happy, I'm off.

ISG Community :: Homepage

Spin spin spin, in a spin. xD Had an ISG meeting last night, and just had another one. I think we've got the new structure for the Discord figured out, which is yay. Kristi and I still need to put our heads together for website stuff...

Oh yeah, I'm titled now. Community Organizer for the Indie Sellers Guild. I'm really happy to be mucking in and getting stuff in place so we can, hopefully, make a more welcoming place for members of the guild current and future. I mentioned it to a friend earlier today, and she commented that it's a good use of my trauma/experience from [[website we met on]]. And I mean, it totally is. I was absolutely able to draw on that experience for some of this process.

But yeah, brain is soup. *chuckles* But it's soup for a good reason.

Past that, just the usual gaming and lumping. I'm not sure what I want to play, so I'm walking across a planet in 'No Man's Sky'. Well, that's currently 'vaguely swimming across an ocean', but same thing. Whether I get bored of it and finally fly to my destination remains to be seen, ha ha.

Nothing to report particularly. Existing persists, a headache has sprung out of somewhere, the usual stuff.

The ISG meeting yesterday was productive. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into the meat of reorganising the Discord. I also accepted my fate of being a core member. I'm already kind of doing the work, so yanno, might as well make it official? xD

Right. Need to get my listing-of-the-day up on Etsy. I forgot to yesterday, and I would like to tryyy to keep a bit of momentum until I get up to the 'proper' number of listings.
