We woke up to super low water pressure this morning. Since we live up on top of a ridge line (the water meter is 650+ feet down the hill to the north of the house) we have a booster pump and motor in the well house. This also controls the flow to the irrigation system. My husband finally decided that the pump and/or the motor had failed. It took us a long time to get it unhooked and off the wall (getting soaked in the process.) I found the name of a guy in Fort Smith and called him, confirming that he would look at what we have and see if he can fix it. My husband fixed things so we have water in the house, even though the pressure is down. We drove to Fort Smith, left the stuff with the man, and now we wait. Hopefully, he will be able to fix it. If not, he will call with prices for replacement pump and/or motor.
We ate at our favorite restaurant on the way home, The Dari in Greenwood. We had a hamburger steak and veggies. YUM! It made up for not eating anything until about 2 pm today, plus having to deal with difficult things first thing in the morning.
I am now trying to decide the way forward on listing my artwork for sale. Right now I have things listed on ArtFire and two shops on Etsy. Every time I mention ArtFire, no one has heard of it. I’m wondering about opening more shops on Etsy and dropping ArtFire. I’ll consider pros and cons and then make a decision after the holidays.
It’s mid afternoon and I have done anything yet – with the exception of helping with the water pump and motor.
I’m going to have a cup of coffee and see if I can regroup.
Hope YOUR day is going better than ours!

Your day sounds to be tough, Linda.
Try to look into Amazon handmade instead, they charge in a different way than Etsy, which are becoming very expensive to use now, I think.
I think about closing my Etsy shop in the coming year, as they charge much to much, when I compare, what I sell there. They have changed their ways of acting in the last year or two and now charge much more than ever.
