An odd day... and a store idea...

An odd day...

Very up and down moodwise and activity-wise today... guess it's no surprise considering it's the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. Still, after a fairly somber morning, I actually found myself in a fairly good mood. Maybe it's because I was on such a roll at work -- solved some problems that had been nagging me, and my brother helped me solve the one I couldn't figure out for myself (thank you Stefan!). So, I guess it was a positive-feeling combination of distraction and productiveness.

Of course, that's a sharp contrast to last night -- I found myself crying rather randomly. I blame it mostly on the time of year, and hormones, and frustration with the unpleasant discovery that I wasn't actually quite done being sick yet (although I feel better today, which probably added to the weird giddy feeling...)

... and a store idea...

The OTHER reason I feel giddy today is that I have been working on art more and more lately, and I decided to open an eBay store. Sure, it costs a little extra, but it lets me cross-promote my work SO much more easily, and I think it will encourage people to buy items that aren't currently up for auction. Plus it feels more honest to me, since eBay doesn't like me linking to pages where I sell non-eBay items. Now that EVERYthing will be eBay-vailable, it's no issue. Here's a VERY preliminary sneak preview of the store, if you want to peek. Just a few test auctions up at the moment.
