Here I am again. I have influenza A. I had to leave work on Wednesday with orders from my Dr. that I was to stay home away from the public until December 23rd. Which means I missed the last 3 days of school, an inservice and my students Christmas party. It made me very sad!
I have had a stressful few weeks at work with my formal observation, the regular flu and not very much sleep. This is always what happens when I get too run down. I've hit my brick wall, so I'm going to take it easy, rest, and get things ready for Christmas at my house (especially since I can't leave it for a few more days!)

I am finally able to sit upright, but coughing still makes me see stars!

So far my hubby has gotten it also, my son started with a few symptoms, but so far hasn't had the full blown thing and finger crossed baby girl is doing fine so far with no symptoms. I am the first case in my county in someone who had gotten their flu shot, aren't I a lucky girl?

On the sales front, I had two awesome weeks on ebay and amazon and now sales have slowed down to a trickle. It's been hard to keep going with being sick, so I'm okay with it.  Every year I say that I need to get more listed sooner and this year is no different. So I am listing Christmas items right now, because that's what's in the house and ready to list. If they stay listed until Christmas next year, I'm okay with that.

So, now you know why I've been away from the blog for a while. I'll leave you with some recent sales:

paid $1.99, sold for bid of $45

paid $2, sold for $76 bid

Fisher Price Voice Warp Tape Player 

paid $4.99, sold in two days for $40

Ralph Lauren Numbered Polo Shirt 

pd. $4.99, sold in 3 days for BO of $40

I picked up these two Christmas under the tree trains at different garage sales last summer for $5 and $3 each. I wasn't able to test them when I purchased them, but figured I'd take a chance. When I got them out to list I discovered neither of them worked. So I listed them for sale as is, for parts and they both sold within a month, I didn't make a huge amount, but I was able to pay for them and still make a little profit, I'm good with that!

Ugly Christmas Cardigan with Christmas cats, paid $3.99, sold in 3 minutes for BO of $24

Hope Christmas Sales are living up to your expectations!
