The Overwhelming Urge to Finish (Patreon)

Hello folks! Today, I want to write about the urge to finish. I don't know if it's the nesting hormones, but lately I have had so many unfinished projects work their way into my psyche. I'm definitely a person who likes to think that they can do it all, so this past week I started chipping away at some of them. Why not? I thought! It's not like I'm growing a baby & actively renovating a house! What's a couple more tasks? :P

Remember back in 2021 when Fin & I were going to launch a small business? We put it on hold when planning our wedding became a part time job, but still kept all of our inventory of course. Then we moved across the country after our wedding, lived with our lives in storage for a year in VA & finally settled in VT in late summer 2023. Recently, I found all our inventory again in the basement & told Finley "We NEED to sell this before the baby comes. I simply cannot think about it anymore." So I've spent the past few days sorting through all of it. Honestly, I'm so sick of thinking & talking about it that I'll probably only mention this here then drop the link when you can actually purchase it.

Also, I made a new merch design with a friend in late summer 2023. It was RIGHT around when we were buying our house, so it wasn't high on my priority list to sell the design. Also, I don't really like my current merch company. When I lived in LA, I had a friend with a warehouse who stored, shipped & sold all my merch along with some touring musician friends. It was SO convenient & he was down to make any design I wanted because he owned the company. Now, I care more about sustainability than I did back then & it's grown very difficult to find a merch company with good practices. I'd love to actually find someone this year who could print & ship my designs. I MISS MERCH!

On a non-work related task note, I also started working on Finley & I's 2023 memory book. Last year, I worked on our 2022 book from like February to JUNE! It ended up being a huge book & took a lot of time, so this year I'm cutting down the photo count. They're so fun to have, but damn they're hard work to make! I decided it would be a good project to do while we wait for baby to arrive, though.

Anyway! This is just what the freak I've been up to! I'll be in my third trimester tomorrow & I can't freakin believe it! Much to do before our little stinker arrives, but these things seem kinda random & fun to focus on & don't require much physical movement from me (which is getting harder) lol. Comment below what you've been up to! I love you!
