One of those weeks

It has been one of those weeks. You know, the kind where you are rolling along, everything is going smooth, and then Bam, you hit a major bump in the road that throws you off course. Nothing seemed to go right. A lot of the information I received at the trade show proved to be inaccurate. I called about a trillion, okay 4 or 5, fabric suppliers, who assured me at the trade show that getting the fabric I wanted would be no problem, has now indicated to me that it is impossible to get the material I want. UGH! Now I’m back to square one, or possibly it’s two, but anyway, I’m back toward the beginning looking for the fabric I need.

Then I go to the bank to do a name change, actually it’s a DBA (doing business as), change. I carry all my legal documents from the state indicating I have filed for the change, but the bank won’t accept them. Evidently the state made some changes in the forms they use and the ones I have (the new forms I think)the bank does not recognize. Ugh! Again! So now I have to go back to the state and request a form indicating they have changed forms and the one I have is accurate.

My daughter finally got the credit card machine we ordered, so she could start selling some of the bags at the studio she teaches at. She tested the machine, using her credit card and what do you know? It took the money from her account, that shows up, but where did the money go? It has not shown up in our account. Could this have something to do with the d…… name change? Of course the credit card machine is in our new name (the one I legally changed with the state) and the one the bank has yet to recognize. Ugh! Again!

Of course none of these problems are insurmountable, just bumps in the road right? I think I will close up my computer, shut off the phone and go back to making fish for a while. It’s bound to be better next week, right?
