Hi all, I logged onto my instagram and it did that annoying thing where it reloaded while I was engaging with a post. In the post there was someone comparing multiple decks.

One of the cards was a card that resembled the Star card but wasn’t it. It was a woman kneeling by a dark “pool” full of or reflecting stars. One of her hands was dipped into the “pool” creating a ripple. The background was dark, she was looking to the left of the card (her right) and there was a keyword on the card but honestly I don’t really remember what it is. The card was very monochromatic and it made me think of like lineart but not quite. Sorry it was a brief interaction but I know I will be thinking about this card all day :(

I want to preface this post by saying that I am grateful for everyone in my life and all that they do for me. I love my family, my job, and value my partner.

Like many of us, I crave and physically need alone time. It’s been a crucial part of my self-care for as long as I can remember. Currently that is just not a possibility. My husband and I have two young kids and no childcare for the baby. We are extremely fortunate to have flexible schedules for our jobs but both of our jobs are pretty demanding. Rewarding but demanding. Since we don’t have childcare, we alternate days to stay home with the baby while we cram six day work weeks into our two designated days a week. On Fridays whomever is the most behind takes the day. Saturday we do errands and tasks around the house, and Sunday we have Costco runs and Sunday school. All this to say there is always someone at home, there are littles to tend to, and a home we care for. My husband is the shizzle, he takes on so much whenever I need him to, but we both need a lot of time towards our projects and goals.

I haven’t gotten proper alone time in years. And sometimes, like today, it’s a little harder to manage than other times. How do you scratch that urge with no opportunity to really be alone? I’m feeling a little nutty.

Currently with Commerce7 but I am really hoping to find something with tap to pay from my iPhone (I don't have a tasting room so most of my sales are at events and having the tap to pay feature directly on my phone is extremely beneficial), and a stronger reporting capability. Watching the fees steadily chip away at my moderate income is making me a sad panda. Someone recommended WithWine, which doesn't have a monthly fee, just a profit sharing model at various percentages. Wanted to see if anyone uses this for their sales and wine club?
