Bad news, kiddies...
I know I promised that I would have no trouble working to keep the store open, but it looks like fate has something different in mind. With my health the way it is, I simply haven’t been able to get enough hours in to keep the store open. With my health the way it is, my quality of life, and my finances have been rapidly declining. I have something serious wrong with me in my stomach, colon, or both... and I don’t have the ability to get the tests I need done unless I can get myself some kind of health insurance.
I have not been well in a very long time, and I need to just stop and take care of myself. Time to reel back in the caste just a bit... Looks like we will have to close the brick and mortar store, and focus only on web efforts for a while.
When we make enough with the online store, we will be able to re-open in a better location. But for now, I am too sick, and I can’t do what I promised.
Here are the priorities:
1. My health - I need my tests done to see if I have ulcers, intestinal blocks, diverticulitus, or worse, cancer.
2. Getting the holes in the kitchen roof, and the kitchen ceiling fixed.
3. Making money with the online version of Turtle Island
4. Rebuilding credit, and getting personal finances back on track.
5. Buying a building in a prime location for Turtle Island, if indeed that is still where we want to go.
I can’t finance the store out of my pocket anymore.
Believe me. The realization is crushing. My heart is just breaking.
But there is nothing else to do.
I’m trying to do my best to keep my chin up and keep moving forward. I’m terribly upset and depressed. All I want is to right now is kick the b/f off the TV/Internet/Computer and just sleep. That is all.

You need to take care of yourself first- as with no you, the others do not matter.
