Further to my recent grump about eBay deliveries being screwed up - I lost one of my Torx spanners recently (think I left it under the bonnet of the Merc 😖), ordered a replacement off eBay at 3pm yesterday afternoon and it dropped through my letterbox at 9:30 this morning. Which is bloody impressive by anyone's standards.

I'm down to just 2 pieces of artwork to clear by the 1st of December to have all of my backlog of work from being ill cleared. I won't hit that deadline, but I'll come really close, I reckon I'll be a week over. Huge sense of achievement really.

As I've been getting better it's allowed me to get out of the trenches and actually take some action on making my business more streamlined, and identifying problems. Perhaps I needed my health to absolute collapse to give me some perspective. I can see a way out now, I just have to be patient with everything. December is going to be slow, it always is, and right now that's a good thing. I can do a light overhaul of the website, have already overhauled my systems for keeping track of updates, and figured out some stuff I can chop out that were wasting time and not earning me anything.

I'm feeling more positive about my future today than I have in a while, even though I still don't have any definitive answers as to what actually happened to my health. I feel like I can manage it and move forward safely again.
