So...I finished the 14 cards I had to make for my clients. I delivered them as well. I'm still awaiting payment from two people. After I delivered all of them, I got a commission for one additonal card. I have that finished and delivered as well. I only have to finish making my own personal mother's day cards. Yes, I'm aware that I'm cutting time short. Haha.
I think I may have lost the commision on the job for my cousin's wedding. They are considering eloping. I had wondered why Jessica was dragging her heels about certain information. It all makes sense now. I just wish she had been more honest with me sooner about it all. It took me practically confronting her on the issue to get this much news out of her. Oh well. There is no need to cry over spilled milk, I guess. (Not that I'm crying about it.)
I just was looking forward to creating something for her special day. It was my way of being there since it was doubtful whether I'd actually able to be present for it. Now, it is as if I'm missing out on another milestone of her life. I guess I should be used to it by now. At least we have gotten marginally closer due to this supposed commission. (It is not about the loss of money and exposure, at all. That would have been helpful, however. Haha.)
I did get 2 additional commissions from a recent coworker last night at work. I have until the end of the month to get them finished. The are for graduation cards. She has my brochure and business card. She even offered to do the preliminary sketching (that I occasionally do) for one of the cards. It is too early to think about this now, but she may be a valuable asset to Robyn's Egg Designs. She suggested that to me...herself. Haha. Confidence and ability is very attractive in a coworker. I like working alone at this time. If help should ever be needed, I would consider her as an applicant however.
Okay, enough about my business. Now onto the nitty gritty of my life. The unpleasant and worrying aspects of my life. The parts that desperately need prayer from all those who are willing to pray.
I'm sure everyone has seen footage or heard about the flooding around the Nashville, TN area....specifically Franklin, TN. Franklin is supposedly the area hit the hardest. My dad works in Franklin and lives outside of Franklin (not far enough for my comfort). I have not heard from my dad in awhile. I tried to call him to see if he was okay and I got a "this phone number has been disconnected" message. That does not necessarily mean anything, if you knew him. My aunt intermittantly moves in and out with my dad. She is an alcoholic, if that explains anything. My dad is not a phone person and usually has his phone disconnected when she moves out. She recently moved out again. So...that message might mean nothing. I'm not horrifically worried or anything. I am concerned however and that mainly is because of my lack of information on the issue.
I called my brother and filled him on the situation. He had no idea about it as well. We agreed that whoever got ahold of Dad first would tell the other person what is going on. No news is good news, right? Right. That's what I'm telling myself. Haha.
Please keep him and everyone dealing with this ordeal strength, safety, and endurance through it all. And please be with everyone who is clueless about the situation...on the outside of the ordeal.
Well, that is what is basically going on in my life right now (besides working and small group--awesome, by the way).
I think George is a byproduct of a bad decision...which never came to fruition. I was warned that he was not worth my time. I kind of had that feeling to begin with. I was allowing myself to be swayed by another person's opinion however. This is the same person who has now changed her tune. Haha. No suspense there. Besides, if he was interested, wouldn't he have made a move by now...going to jail or not? I'm not stupid nor will I be treated like I should be. I have standards afterall. Are they lofty? I refuse to settle for something less than I deserve. Do others deserve me? That is a completely different issue. I do know that I have specific standards from which I refuse to budge. I am flexible in many other areas however. Compromise is feasible depending on the situation. 
Oh! And I might be related to some of my friends through marriage on my great-aunt's side of the family. They live in the same town as me. I don't know them and haven't ever met them, as far as I know. They could have come into my workplace before and I wouldn't have ever known. I did see a middle aged lady who could have been my Great-Aunt Celia (years younger) however. Was that Alice? Who knows. Anyway, I will talk to you later.--Your neighborhood intrigued/worried neighbor, Robyn
