Today, I restart something entertaining that took up months of my life in England, and is a very intense project indeed. Jamie and I are shuffling through items we have, to sell them on eBay. We have a target of $100 to make, to aim for a camera Jamie desires somewhat, which may or may not come with a muse in the shipping.
The only problem is that I'm not at all used to American postage prices. I fear I'm going to undervalue/overvalue postage for things for quite a while.
Still, it's a good side-project, based upon the fact that while it's been pricey, the majority of my visa paperwork is done and waiting. Our only setbacks include finding a living will for New Jersey, doing our taxes and getting Lois to verify who she is and why Jamie and I stay with her, and so on. And possibly getting some ritzy ring-selling store to buff up the rings we purchased.
There was a lot more we had to do, and we've had it all written up on a white board. It's been wonderful erasing these things one by one, as work gets done. So therapeutic. And post-February, no more worries on this for a good few years. Although I would be sad to lose my EAD card, because I've fallen for how it looks. I like it, as a fancy ID card. I'm sure the green card will look far less exciting.
For ebay stuff, I would suggest checking out similar items that are up for now, and seeing what they charge in terms of shipping.
And lastly, aww, you're listening to Cabaret!
For ebay, I seem to have already set up this blanket $4 shipping and handling cost, and assume that sounds about right for anything and everything.
Jamie requests information on any super-cheap shows, because she wants to see something desperately. At this point, our show highlight is going to be a Fair Lawn high school adaptation of Cabaret.
