eBay and Etsy Stores on Hiatus

I deactivated all of my eBay listings a week ago.  Today I deactivated my Etsy listings.  I had hoped to stay open, but having to prepare packages is increasing my stress.

My stress level is very high right now, and I will pay for it.  Today is the ninth day since I went back to work.  I do not yet have severe brain fog and fatigue, but I'm pretty sure that both are imminent.

The left lobe of my thyroid is swollen, and I can tell that the T4 output from my thyroid has decreased.  I have hives that are worsening each day, and my dry lips have increased to a nearly unbearable level.  I am likely in a full flare.  As I mentioned, today is the ninth day since I went back to work.  The brain fog and fatigue typically begin 10 to 14 days after the beginning of the flare.  Since this is day 9, I expect the drop will begin in 1 to 5 days.

I remain ever hopeful that the drop won't be bad and that it will pass quickly.  It is a possibility since I'm no longer on the dreadful NP Thyroid medication that caused a high level of inflammation in my body.  I was still on it one year ago when school started.  

I had one Etsy package to prepare last night, and I found that I did not want to pack it.  I had to force myself to do it, and that was when I decided to end my listings.  At least now I won't have to force myself to package anything.

In the past, people have asked me to let them know when I reopen.  The responsibility shouldn't be placed on me.  The better option is to follow my stores.

If you follow me on each site, then you will receive notification when I reopen.  I hope that I can reopen in a few weeks, but more realistically, I will reopen during fall break in the middle of October.  I usually need the first quarter of the school year to fully adjust to my work schedule.

I will remain active on Facebook.  I will also post in this blog periodically when I feel like it.
