Wow, now I'm tired

tiamatladyI just went on a picture/Ebay bender.
I went through most of the pics I had left, of my friend's band, and some Ebay stuff, and I've got some necklaces up. I'm VERY nervous about them, but it's only costing me about $2.50 or so right now. So I think I'm OK. They came out nice, if I do say so myself. They're here if you're interested. Let me just warn the stupid, that running up my auctions will have me hunt you down, and put the hurt on you, seriously. And I have a list of probable antagonists, and I'm just going to smack EVERYONE I think might be involved, instead of actually FINDING the troublemaker, so make sure your friends know too *evil grin*
I'm sure I could put more up, but I saw something on LJ about "free Ebay listings" so I'm going to wait til later, if I have time. I have my difficult client today, and I've made promises I SHOULD be able to keep, but it's going to be a long day. I WILL be at ManRay tomorrow, I need to see my CB, and this is the only place he MAY show up, if he thinks he can take the break. I think I'm going to go harass him via email in a bit.
I think I'm going to sit back and see how things go with these. I can feel the financial vise clamping down, almost to the point of waiting on the ticket another week. BUT, I've already sent the payment to my credit card, and I don't need credit, I need cash to pay my car payment, so the damage is already done, so I'm GONNA buy it!
Today was oddly stressful, I had a LONG chat with a client. They're having a family bru-ha-ha, and it's escalating. The elderly parents worked hard to make this company, and if their kids are acting HALF as bad as they've said, I don't blame them for freaking. I'm just not getting along very well with the dad, although I like him, and he likes me. He just stresses too much about money, and sees me doing projects as him having to pay more money. I'm sorry, but I'm worth it, and the work needs to be done, better now than later. But he doesn't see that. My frustration spoke to me of tax season, and how I almost slit things last year, so I made an offhand comment to the son like "If this keeps up, I can't take it during tax season, is there something you can do?" Apparently the "something" was to yell at his dad that I was "quitting". I don't remember saying that, EVER, I said I might have to think about it, and I certainly wouldn't walk OUT, but just up and QUIT? So the old man gets upset, and more upset, and he lands in the hospital, and his kids don't care. I've never seen the "I don't care"side, I've seen "My dad should be home relaxing, not here doing too much." That's a far cry from the apparent "drop dead, I wish you were dead" that was being slung around this morning. I feel AWFUL if this was any way made worse by me. I'm going to have a short, sweet chat with the son next week, consisting of "I never said I was quitting, and I counted on you to help me. If you EVER put word in my mouth again, THAT is why I WILL walk out, right there and then."
*sigh* I'm not looking forward to that. So I'm going to bed, to dream of CB, and getting a chance to show him I give good snuggle.
