    Crisis. Business crisis. My internet is out because my bill is overdue. My bank balance is zero. My Paypal balance is $200. My eBay bill of ~$180 is due tomorrow. My $400 rent is due in 15 days. This is a crisis, but I think I already figured out how I’m going to get through […]

    No therapy today; My therapist is on vacation. I want to talk about Squad today. I played Squad last night. I joined a game where we were losing. The squad leader had already given up, and disconnected. The player who was auto-assigned as Squad lead didn’t want it. I said I would take it, but […]

    I’ve been consistently inconsistent when it comes to my daily blog post length! Oh well. It’s not a big deal. I’ve been writing something every day and that’s a good thing. I’m going to eat breakfast today. Feelin’ pretty tired today. I’m not feeling like writing today. I feel like eating and sleeping. Actually, I’m […]

    I fucked up my eBay product downsizing so bad. I accidentally ended ALL but 8 listings. I went from exactly 3000 listings to exactly 8 listings in a matter of minutes. I stressed out about this so hard last night. Couldn’t sleep. But then I talked aloud to myself and worked it out. It was […]

    I had a breakthrough idea last night as I read Pulling Profits from a Hat. Chapter 3 in the book was talking about 5 values that successful businesses posses. I forgot them all except the last one, mission. What is my mission for Sakura Blossom Trading Post? I figured it out. My mission is to […]

    I forgot to write yesterday. Or rather, I spent very little time on the computer. I did laundry and chilled with my family. I had a Zoom call with my therapist this morning. We talked about what I felt last week during the time when I tried to sell my Suburban. Apparently I have made […]

    7:47AM. IDK why I woke up at the odd time of 7:30. I would like to go back to sleep. Three trading cards to send out this morning. They’re about a $14 value altogether. Am I wasting my time doing eBay? Can I really make this work? What if I make $14 per day? Is […]

    My friend Christopher Toledo created http://wizards.zone/. He set up a Pleroma instance which seems to be a web client for the Mastodon network. It’s like a federated Twitter alternative. I uttered my first Toot– a slightly modified passage from my novel, and the adminWizard has replied with a compelling followup. It’s very interesting that this […]

    I had bad dreams. I was getting bitten by my angry adopted dog, I was attacked by demonic ghosts, and I saw Mr. Beast & crew rot away from illness. It was very disturbing and scary. On top of all that, the woman I returned the biting dog to was trying to have sex with […]

    It’s Friday and it’s going to be a FANTASTIC day today. I thought my meeting with my therapist was at 9AM today, but I joined the Zoom meeting and it kicked me out of the waiting room. I think it’s actually at 9:30 like normal, but the time on the meeting is wrong. I missed […]

    I tried out some free, open source bookkeeping software today. https://frappebooks.com/ I saw this shared on Hacker News the other day. It’s a nice looking piece of software! I think it has a lot of promise. Unfortunately, it’s not going to be useful for me in my eBay business. There would be somewhere close to […]
