So, here's a status update for the Jenn goals:
Live, Love, Alive (Organic Soaps and Candles): applied for the business tax ID. Applied for a DBA to reserve my "Live, Love, Alive" name in the city of L.A. Printed up the seller's application so that I can apply California taxes, which is quite involved so it is just in "print" status right now. ;) Spent $100 in a Chinese herbalist shop today for specialty oils and dried lavender and chamomile. Going to spend A LOT more than that tomorrow buying soap bases. Oy. Hopefully my unemployment monies don't completely run out! :ol I would LOVE to get down to the brass tacks of making some ever-lovin' soaps soon! On the plus side, I still have a $75 gift card from Michaels where I will purchase my soap wrappings. I can't buy the soap bases there as their prices are OUT OF CONTROL at three times the cost of http://www.candlewic.com/.
Doctor and thyroid issues: he agreed today that my prescribed armour meds were not high enough, which I could have told him withOUT the $153 blood test, considering I have gained about 10 MORE pounds in the last month. Like I need to get even FATTER. *sigh* Anyway, happy that he agreed, and we are not only raising the levels, but he is allowing me to order my meds from a company in Canada, where I can get them for considerably cheaper.
Working out and quitting smoking. Um. Let's not talk about that just yet. :/
Cutting overall expenses: I still need to contact Chase regarding my credit card. I have been paying, for years, for astronomical insurance that should cover me if I am laid off. Well, now I've been laid off, so they had best cover my butt. I need to also find cheaper car insurance, cheaper cell plans, and possibly cut cable out completely.
Acting: Well, I am going to do a short in a little over a week. I am ashamed of how I look, and I hate the idea of being on film. However, I am still as confident as ever in my acting abilities, and that has to count for something, right?
On the plus side, almost all of our TV shows are ending for the season (Fringe, American Idol), or forever (24), so I will have even more time to spend doing productive things rather than being a couch vegetable.
Finally, I want to clean every inch of this apartment. We have too much shite, too much clutter, and I cannot bear it anymore.
Huh. Just a few things there, right??!! ack! lol

It sounds like you're getting a lot done. You can't change everything at once. In addition to being exhausting, it would be disorienting.
ReplyDeleteTrue, Judy. I have felt pretty panicked lately, and that certainly doesn't help to accomplish stuff.
