in a normal situation

i would consider it unfair of me to make several posts on a blog in a night, but since this is my first night, hey, why the hell not.

hopefully, with the few yards of fabric i bought (read: my mom bought for me) i'll be able to churn out a couple of cuddly stuffed pillows for RIO and make some money. so far my pre-order list adds up to $115 potential dollars, if the pillows go well, plus two other users planning on buying who just want to see pictures of the finished product first. if i can manufacture the finished product by about this time tomorrow i'll be in the clear. or more accurately, the green. here is some bookkeeping to help me think about things properly. if all these numbers seem low, it's because i am a small person, and therefore require only small amounts of money.

current funds:
$40 in bank
~$20 in cash
negligible amount in debit card

potential funds:
$115 from comfirmed pillow sales
$70 from potential/discussed but not yet confirmed pillow sales
$40 on august 1st

expenses:
$20 for pitchfork transportation
$10 for 4th of july (maybe $8 if i can manage to find tickets elsewhere)
$36 at least for "medical expenses"
$10 i owe anna
$10 i owe danny

obviously the pillows will be a godsend. i hope i can get everything worked out and start making them in my little one-girl basement sweatshop, and then all will be well.
