The Tokens - The Lion Sleeps Tonight




That song was in my head all morning. I think its gone now. Last night I slept 7 hours. That is quite an accomplishment. The last month or more I have been mostly not sleeping or just napping at night. Never getting any true sleep. There is a medical reason for it but lets not go there now. 

The Point is I slept last night. I woke up feeling, um how do I say it, I felt normal. No Screaming myself awake, no panic, no depression. No gasping and wondering what to do for the next few hours. I woke up normal and made some coffee, and got straight to work on my Etsy shop. I attempted to work last night  but the sleeping nods were out. How many times I tried to list one item.I would be almost finished and Bam, either my face slammed the keyboard or the PC (which is a monitor with CPU built in to it) crashing to the floor, first hitting my arm or lap or whatever body part was in its way at he time. 

If anyone saw me they would say she s on some some strong drugs. Funny thing is I was not. nor am I ever. I just sleep or nod out at all the inopportune times like during conversations or while i am trying to work, or at my boys' scouts meetings...one reason I do not drive too much.

But last night this song was for me. the Lion Sleeps tonight. I can only get through about a minute of it before it starts to increase my hypervigiliance,. But you get the idea. 
Yesterday I took many photos and had the intention of posting to Esty. Well, I was able to post today. But today was actually meant for getting my Store's Name and existence out there. I have 433 friends in face book and I think everyone aside for 4 or 5 people are too busy building three more  farms or playing name that tune. No one is helping me boost my store. its Disappointing to me really. But its okay, my project for the weekend is going to be weaning out my friends list and wean it to friends and people who actually give a shit that i exist.















I have not had the chance to make anything. No rings or bracelets or necklaces and  I am starting to feel that creative streak scream my name...hey CALISTA where are you, Bring some wire and some of that new blown glass with the tiny flowers indie, and bring some nice yellow crystals. Do not forget the pliers dear. Come on now, get away from the computer, stop listing and worrying about that math stuff. 

I am a one man army with my Jewelry. Some people probably fo not realize the tie that foes into it all, the thinking, the creating, the color mixing and the chasing of images in my mind trying to put them out on paper and in 3 dimensional form.  Then the paperwork, or computer work, the posting the pricing and the marketing. Ahhhh its a lot. Now I have this blog and I still am not doing it the way i envisioned it. I want to talk about the jewelry I am making. The process, the poetry of beads crystals and stones and wire. 
It is poetry,...I will save that for another day too. Now its time to make the rounds of my sites. and then put on my mom hat. time to cook and do homework, help study the weeblos and Wolf pack mottoes and see whats next on the badges. 

Whoever it out there, thanks for reading. 

PS there is a big SALE today until Midnight EST. IF you go to 


and tell me where you found the link to my jewelry, I will take 10 percent off your order.  Just tell me which piece you want to buy in a message and say Blogger. or wherever. I will then send you and invoice with 10 perent off. If you want to pay the 10 percent then don't do anything,. 

Take care and Give your Humanity a big warm hug
