i need a medic

my wrists are going down, down, down. too much computer! they are numb in spots. i have wristguards but the answer, sadly, is just to lay off the computer.

i am a bit behind in the jewelry making department right now, and need to get with it. i need to hire someone to help me a day or two a week, and then everything would be fine!

let's see. friday my counter and jewelry display arrives, very exciting. i'm getting some acrylic boxes made, about the size of a standard jewelry tray but taller, to hold more goodies, they should be ready on friday too. at that point 85 percent of the fixtures will be in place and really, i can start putting inventory out. there is still last-minute stuff to do, quite a lot, like painting/cleaning up the aluminum window trim (already has most of a coat of paint on it), and the radiator cover and the platform in front of the window which looks awful right now. hemming the dressing room curtain. getting vinyl lettering for the window. installing the damn phone line. stuff like that.

i am trying to get some fun books and magazines in, too. i already have JPG mag, with photography, and there is another one called Hamburger Eyes about photography. there is a little culture zine called The Drama, and i'll have some KnitKnit, and a new one from the Stanford design school called Ambidextrous.

what i have to do now is stop compulsively looking for new product. i have quite enough! now i am just bookmarking things.
