Procrastination Continues

So, as you know, MWF's have been much easier for me since Connor is staying at school until 3. I do random errands with Emmeline until lunch and then she naps until about 2. I moved her nap from 12-2ish so I have time to get ready to get Connor. I'd imagine she'll start napping less, though, maybe like 1-2? I dunno. Still, I seem to just waste away the free time by playing games on the computer. I should mention that I finished the rough draft of book 1 of my book. I just have to print it out and bind it into a book to have Laura read it and write notes and stuff on the margins as well as tell me what she thought of it. I told her that she needs to be honest since if she's not, potential reader on Amazon will be.

I also saw a branch that I could use as my crane tree prototype at Michael's the other day. I have too many projects and no motivation to do it. Sales for my cranes on Amazon have pretty much dropped to zero after the holidays. I sold maybe 2-3 in the last 2-3 weeks. I hope a few more sell for Valentines because on 2/25 or something, Amazon is charging a yearly storage fee. The more I sell, the less it will be. Mine is only like $30 or something, but it would be nice to make that lower. I SHOULD order more stuff to gear up for like Mother's Day, but I dunno. It seems that the holidays is where it's at. It might be a money pit the rest of the year since storage is about $4-5 per month. I guess if I sell 1 crane a month, that will cover the storage costs. We'll see what I decide.

Got about 20 minutes before I get Emmeline. Connor has been transitioning better to full days. He was a little nervous last week, but it's been slowly going away.
