First of July was kind to me.

I woke up feeling down and super tired but I still managed to complete my daily exercise. After lunch, I also managed to study for an hour about some concepts for my program.

I am starting to refamiliarize myself with old concepts before the new academic year starts. Of course, I know that I will not be able to cram everything we tackled for three years but I want to remember the things that are still needed.

These include process control, as well as reading P&ID. Computation is a scary part of an engineering course but according to the engineers I know of, most computations on the job will be left for the computers to deal with.

Baby steps still take me to where I want to go

An hour of studying might not seem much but it is opening up doors for me to learn. This short time I allot to myself is an investment for the future.

One hour is not much but 30 hours of study to prepare for the opening of classes are a considerable amount of time.

Plus, I believe that consistency is the key.

After all, I have tried studying for long hours but I end up not remembering anything after a test.

So being consistent is the way for me to go.

On money matters

The same also applies for money.

A peso might not be much but without it I will not be able to buy a lot of things. After all, no one wants to miss out on a peso in a business.

One thing I learned with handling my money is that I have to let it flow. By this I mean, I need to set aside the money I need for my various investments and slowly grow it. Instead of spending every peso I have.

Crochet business

As I have shared in my previous articles, I have a crochet business. I started it last year but due to the challenge of handling it, I stopped it.

The first problem I encountered is that I spent all the money I get from selling crochet projects. Thus, my initial investment ran out and I stopped paying attention to it.

Today I bought three red yarns for an order.

I am not sure if all three yarns will be used. I am actually quite confident to say that three yarns are more than what I need. But I learned that it is better to have excess yarns to have less yarns than needed.

Why?

Because the color of the yarns changes depending on its batch. So I can order the same shade of yarn but when I get it, it might not be the exact shade of the ones I ordered before. So it is better to have more than less.

I started working on the beanie a customer ordered last night. Here you can see me eating my "midnight" snack.

I have started to bring some food in my room because I get so hungry after drinking my medication. I try to stop myself but the feeling so not fun to deal with.

Did you ever have a moment when you skipped a meal and you feel so weak and hungry after hours of ignorin meal time?

That is the same kind of hunger I feel even though I just ate dinner before drinking medication.

If I drink my medication before dinner, I still don't feel good. I feel like puking my insides so I just learned to eat a light dinner before meds and a light snack after drinking medication.

Going back to the crochet order

Unfortunately, I made a mistake in the stitch I used last night so I had to frog it when I woke up.

This yarn noodles were my breakfast earlier.

I am halfway done with the crochet project I am making. I am excited with the outcome of this one since I really put in an effort to make it.

Closing words

I received an order for my headset covers again. This time it is for a random two toned headset covers. The customer decided that they will take it on Monday.

I feel happy about it since I am starting to get orders from strangers.

Also, I am excited for the future since I joined a group which has a goal of doing fundraisers for donations via selling of crochet items. I am happy to be a part of a group that has such good motive to help others.

When I read your crochet business updates, it motivates me to try it myself. Once again I am reminded to checkout those crochet related items on my cart. More customers to come!

I also know how to do crochet but I am not anymore doing it this time due to my current work schedule and also m eyes are not as clear as before. Yes, when you have an order you need to buy the exact or probably more than the number of thread you need because even if it is the same color, there is a big chance that it won't match that previous color that you have. I wish you good luck on your business.

I wish you get lots of orders from strangers sis. Crocheting is very hard for me, but they said it is therapeutic. Good thing you have that kind of skills because you get paid and then it calms you. That is one of the best skills and hobby.
