Caught...

...between the Scylla and Charybdis.

I have several hundred dollars in credit card sales that haven't cleared yet. I have almost a dozen corsets that need busks. I can't get the busks to sell the corsets to get some money until I get some money.

Oh, the joy of sole proprietorship.

Well if I can offer ANY good news, it's that I see the photographer who did the rapunzel shots is shooting once again and her shoulder is healing so perhaps we'll get to see those one day. *whimper*

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! What happened to her shoulder?

[silverstah.livejournal.com]

Been there, done that. It's a terribly uncomfortable feeling. :(

[donnaricci.livejournal.com]

Oh I never told you? When she was traveling in Thailand, she broke her shoulder right after we took those photos so she's been out of work and in physical therapy ever since to get back motion. That's why we have not yet seen them. I feel so bad for her!

tell me about it O.< must not write I Owe Mes...must not write I Owe Mes....

Oh, my, I understand all too well. The old "Spend money to make money" addage painfully applies.

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

Oh, holy crap! Is that what happened?

You know, part of me wants to say, "Well, if you're going to injure yourself, at least do it somewhere exotic, having fun." The other part of me says, "Hospitals in Thailand! Yum!"

I had a very good friend at my last desk job whose sister had cancer. She chose to come to the US for treatment. Sadly, it didn't help, but it kept her alive a few years, if nothing else.

Yeah. Even better? I need a co-signer with decent credit to get my own merchant services, since my own credit is so bad.

Love THAT irony.

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

You and me both, sugar.

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

Rah rah-fucking-rah. Yup.

[silverstah.livejournal.com]

Oh, SUCK! :( That totally stinks - and kinda doesn't make any sense. It's not like you're taking out credit - you're just processing other people's credit cards.

i continue my experiments with busk farming in my basement. the last batch went...a bit south.....it's cool tho. i told C he just needs to mind the sinkhole in the yard when he mows now. he totally didn't even blink. so far, it remains secret.
