I have way too many things I want to do. Wow. But today I did get ahold of the computer for a little bit, so I decided to concentrate on sprucing up the website and trying to do a little marketing set-up. Tod is going to help me do my schedule, and one of the things I want to do is have a set time for marketing. (Mostly that consists of writing blog posts.) Also trying to have a set time for audio/video editing - which I think will have to be Saturdays.

I recently got my own section of our store, and made a post about that - Owen's got some stuff in the store!
I have more stuff, but we either haven't gotten pictures of it, or haven't uploaded them.

And today I wrote about the books I think are best for learning Celtic knotwork.

I've got an art show coming up, and then I'm trying to figure out other opportunities beyond that. Today I learned about some digital art galleries, and art galleries near me. Unfortunately I need money to join most local galleries. There is one place nearby that is listed on Google maps which sells art and crafts for the artists who make them. That may be easier for me in the beginning - though I do want to sell on Etsy and other sites.

I'm doing okay so far with my goals. So far, I have:

• Made a puppet video every day
• Doing voice exercises every day
• Avoided getting into political arguments
• Mostly avoided getting dragged into an anxiety spiral via current events
• Begun the dreaded task of changing passwords
• Begun setting up my work desk at home

These are things I need to work on:

• Getting sleep (Hoping that citalopram will help with this once I've been on it longer)
• Establishing a daily routine
• Getting up and moving when I feel like crap (Not happening until the house is at a decent temperature)
• Make sense of my social media life. Holy crap.
• (And on that note: Use Dreamwidth more! I want this to be my longform social media home)
• Find more ways to connect to puppeteers and artists

And some projects I need to do:

• Organize the craft room
• Make red panda pins (for my microphone crowdfunding. I haven't been able to make copies yet and do that whole thing.)
• Get the internet working on my old desktop so I can then use that daily
• Plan out how food is going to work once I change over to my new schedule. (Much less time for cooking, but not hundreds dollars more for eating out.)
• Decide whether I want to attach my twitter feed to this account - It has been useful for passing on links to non-Twitter users.
• Link to all the things I'm involved in on my profile page on Dreamwidth. I want all that stuff in one place!

I'm probably going to edit this list tomorrow. I am very glad that I have kept moving forward, though. A bit nervous, because I keep running into the tattered ends of things I have abandoned due to lost interest, lack of time, or whatever. I feel very committed to doing puppetry, and I don't want to move on to anything else.
