Let's play Good News / Bad News

[MKLonestar]

Susie, my husband won't let go back over to Lonestar Candle Supply after my last trip over there.

Good news: I was able to get over to Lonestar Candle Supply without getting lost and taking only back roads to avoid the highway congestion.

Bad news: I spent 3x what I had originally planned to spend once I got there. However, I did get a bunch of great scents and other supplies.

The bad news is that I am allergic to so many fragrances that I don't expect to last long there. The good news is that I don't make candles. So the other good news is that I should not be banned from there.

Good News is I finally finished a crocheted shawl for a customer

Bad News is Joann's has discontinued the yarn which has been very popular for me

Good news: I have no other "life duties" on the schedule for tonight.
Bad news: I have no idea what I should do first: make bubble scoops, make lip balm, do the water absorption test, masterbatching oils, making soap, or just hang it all and sit on the patio with a book and a cocktail.

I vote for Patio !

 

[amd]

I kind of did both. Patio until the skeeters came out, then worked in the soap lab on miscellaneous little projects.

When preparing to take the physiology class I need this fall, I learned that the school now requires 2 prerequisites, one of which I had but chemistry I didn't. So I was totally bummed to know I had to pass chemistry first.

Luckily I had trouble with the website and had to call into the school where I learned that because I'd passed anatomy already, that I would be grandfathered into physiology - no delay, no chemistry!

Good news ---- well, I'm alive, and breathing although barely, and have had the last week off...

Bad news ---- well, I am barely breathing, and have had the last week off... Ended up with pneumonia somehow, and have been put on bed rest. Honestly, I think they would have hospitalized me last weekend had it not been a holiday weekend.
Also, my house is a disaster, and yet, I still have to return to work on Monday. *sigh*

 

[scard]

Oh how miserable, take care of yourself.

(Brief explanation... I have severe carpal tunnel & ulnar nerve damage..& need surgery.
Doctor and Hospital have separate bills.)

Good News: Neuro surgeon says I can make a down payment, then payments for him doing the surgery.
Bad News: Hospital thinks that carpal tunnel surgery is an Elective (-vs- necessity), & wants $5,000 deposit Before surgery (which is approx. 1/2 of the total)...

Good News: My garden is growing rapidly due to all the rain we have been having, & I dont have to suffer with watering the Garden.
Bad News: All the rain makes all the bugs hungry for my veggies, & I cant "dust" them in the rain!

Good news: I finally made some great looking men's soaps.
Bad news: the fragrance oil faded so badly you can barely smell them

Bad news is I'm home today with a pinched nerve in my neck (my skin hurts!). Good news is I managed to get a lot of prep done for the upcoming (June 17) market. I picked up a Square Reader for contactless & chip, as well as a dock, bought a portable charger, purchased a cash box, receipt book, some cute little chalkboard signs, and a few other supplies, and have them in an easy to carry box. I also put together a cash float (still need $5 and $10 bills) and created a newsletter sign up sheet. The biggest thing I have to do now is decide how much soap to take along and how to display it. Ideas are swirling around in my brain.

So excited for you!

Bad news: Amazon tent won't be here till next week.
Good news: Hubby and my mom were able to get the old tent into useable shape for the show this weekend.
Even better news: the Thursday night market that was causing so much drama in my life called to say that they have waived the fee altogether.

@Misschief I so rry you neck is pinched. I thought they were sending you the Square reader ?

Thanks Lin. I did get the reader but I've been doing a LOT of reading and I think the contactless square will be a good addition. It takes Debit cards where the Square reader doesn't. We shall see.

 

[shunt2011]

The square reader takes debit cards as long as they have a MC or Visa logo. I use the contactless reader most times unless they don’t have a chip. Also, square doesn’t support a dispute with the regular reader if the card has a chip. Only with the contactless reader\chip reader.

 

[Lin19687]

Yes, has to have the visa/mc logo which I think they all have now (?)
I plan on getting the chip/swipe reader at some point. They are sending me the swipe for the time being.
i want to see how it all works in action then get the chip.

Good to know Shunt

Good news - ordered the free reader

Bad news - no idea when it is going to get here . Shipped DHL (where do these come from China ?) then gets given to USPS but no tracking. Why bother with the DHL tracking number?

I got mine within a 2-week time frame, if that helps any.
