Update and an Auction
Hi! Nothing new to report health-wise. I'm hanging in there. Not overdoing it, staying away from sick people. I'm really nervous my counts are going to be too low on Thursday again and really screw things up (schedule-wise, both personally and my surgery date, etc.), but there's not much I can do about that. Cross my fingers and hope for the best.
For anyone on Facebook, this weekend there will be an online auction benefiting me this weekend. My friend Sharon nominated me for it, which is really nice. It started to benefit a woman named Gwen Edwards, who recently passed away, and has continued with difference beneficiaries for each auction. The auction is winter-themed -- I'm not sure how strict the interpretations are on that.
You can find the page for the auction HERE. It's a private group so you have to join. There is a post at the top of the page that answer any questions you might have and you have to comment "Agree" to participate. They are listed there, but the basic rules on bidding are: Bidding is open at 5 p.m. Friday to 4:59 p.m. Sunday. If you bid before that, it will be deleted.The opening bid and the shipping will be listed. Bid in whole dollar amounts. You pay via PayPal.
To donate, there's a file (under "Files" at the top) on how to post something you would like to contribute. Apparently if you're new to donating on there you can only do one item. Once that's successfully delivered to the top bidder, you can post multiple items in future auctions (and you should -- this is such a good idea!). Apparently most things are handmade. It doesn't have to be a finished item. You can post something that someone can custom order, etc. There are a handful of volunteers who run the page, so you can message them if you have any questions.
If there's something you can't figure out, feel free to ask me -- I'll answer to the best of my knowledge. Bottom line: invite people to the auction page via this LINK and the post at the top of the page should answer most questions regarding bidding or donating or direct you to where you can find them.
Hope everyone's having a nice week!
