Somehow I managed to lock up the computer for most of the day. I edited pictures on an ancient laptop. Took them to the new computer on a thumb drive. Loaded them to crop a little better. Poof! Not responding. Nothing is responding. So I did what any responsible person would do. I ignored the computer entirely to teach it a lesson. I went and worked on the quilt. I listened to podcasts on the phone. And did some cooking for lunch. Then it was time to ship orders and head to the library and post office. The day went so quickly.

I came back to my desk and it appears it was the internet not responding as opposed to the computer. Everything was fine. The pictures still look horrible on the new computer but fantastic on my phone and on the old computer. Go figure, the most expensive darn monitor in the world but color is inaccurate. Hmm. Methinks editing is going to get done elsewhere.

I tallied all the quantities of each item. There are of 90 items on the list. I wanted to ensure accuracy. If I only have 3 of an item, there can't be 4 on the website. I physically went through counting each one. Then I went through US Postage rates. They've changed a bit. I need to revisit them on etsy too. After that, came sales tax. PA is a point of origin state. All international orders will have to go through etsy because I am not filing country taxes for each nation on earth. I have 6 pictures to fix and then I can make the site live. Tomorrow I also have to fix the couple of items with incorrect quantities. It's one thing to count them and quite another to deal with the frustrating website on the computer.

Tomorrow also will be warm enough that I want to get work done outside. The front yard needs tidying. The compost pile is too small. And burning the old thorn bushes could happen. Wednesday is a burn day between the hours of 10 and 3. Also I want to plant claytonia and take the extra covers off a few plants. One thing at a time.
