Almost dead, but not quite! I’ve been so sick over the last few days that I not only missed my gallery opening at Jem Cordova, but I also missed out on the Dunbar Craft Fair – the one I juried for back in June! Argh!

Getting sick is so frustrating when you’re self-employed. Not only do we not get “sick days”, but I lost my chance to earn income that day (of which there aren’t very many days left in the xmas shopping season) plus I lost my table fee. That was one very expensive day of laying in bed and coughing my brains out. Lame!

Today I’m off to Simon Fraser University to set up a table in the Students Union. I’m packing lots of tea & lozenges & a warm woolly sweater. Wish me luck!
