A Week in Kardboard

10/06

Started off the day like any other Monday. Took the kids to school, came to the restaurant, and started on the Week in Review, and Card of the Week Posts for Instagram and Facebook.

Started working on Spoiler Season. Still need to finish up the Starters to post them. Those will be up by Friday. The Latest.

Took the whole family out for practice today. Mostly worked on passing, and a little bit of dribbling.

Yeah, Monday’s are a bit slow around here, but it sets up our week.

10/07

I just realized that our Sticker Machine was out of Pokemon cards! So, I had to look for cards to restock it. I usually fill it up with Japanese cards, as the kids that get them always get excited. Always Holos, and always at least Double Rares. That’s what keeps them coming back.

Still trying to figure out what I got to do with the Jeep. It seems like lately all of my cars have problems in one way or another.

10/08

Busy day today. The Starter Sets are selling consistently.

The kids had Soccer Practice today. Picked them up from school, and we headed straight over there. The Coach said if anyone scores a goal from the other side of the field, all of the coaches will run a lap around the field. Guess who put it in? Yep, my kid. My kid had the coaches running.

Did a restock for Resurgence of Power on TCG Player and eBay.

Night time was 99 Nights in the Forest time. My daughter didn’t want to play, and me and my son beat our record by a couple of days. She was so mad that she wasn’t playing. Oh well. We can all play again tomorrow.

10/09

Had a whole bunch of Bulk come in today. 13,500 MTG cards. And, now they all need to be sorted. I usually do it in few stages. First I sort by Decade, then Year, then Set, then Alphabetically. I got through about 4,500 today. Then I ran out of time and had to go get the little ones from school.

The lights went out in the Bathroom. Instead of just changing a bulb, I decided to change the whole fixture. Or at least try to. I got it all hooked up, and for some reason the light stayed on. Couldn’t turn it off. So, I just took it down and tried to figure out what I did wrong.

A little bit of Roblox with the kids, and I was off to bed early.

10/10

It’s time to tackle that Mountain of MTG Bulk.

But, first we posted our review for the Starter Sets that came out last Friday.

It was a busy day at the restaurant and didn’t get a chance to get much done. Lot’s of running around. Driving around actually. But, it’s all right. I have to keep myself busy, if I don’t, I get lazy.

10/11

Today is the last game before the tournament next week. My daughter was sick today, so she didn’t come to the game. Just my son. He was feeling a bit sick last night as well, but I woke him up in the morning and he said he was feeling good, and wanted to go play.

So, off we went. We got there a bit early. There wasn’t too much traffic this morning. Our team had just enough kids to play today. I knew one other kid wasn’t going to come today, and my daughter was sick, but there were 2 more kids that didn’t show up.

Doesn’t matter, that just means my kid will play the whole game.

And, he made me proud just like always. He started out on Defense. Made a clean sliding tackle. Then he played goalie today. No one scored on him. After that he was in the Midfield and finally Forward. He didn’t score, but he created chances. We did lose, 4-1. And that’s ok. It’s next week that we have to worry about.

But, the referees suck. One kid on the other team had 4 blatant hand balls, and they never got called once for it. One was even in the penalty box, and nothing. But, my kid does a header, and he gets called.

After the game, we got a snack, and went to play a bit more soccer.

10/12

I didn’t get much sleep last night, and I am tired.

Finished up the first sort for all of the MTG bulk that came in.

Took a nap.

Got the orders ready to be shipped out, even though I think the Post Office is closed tomorrow.

Played 99 Nights in the Forest, with Naki and we’ve all been trying to get my wife to play with us. Hopefully she will. It’s a fun game when we’re playing all together.

The Week In Kardboard

09/15

Monday morning comes with the usual. Finish up this weekly recap, and the Card of the Day for Instagram and Facebook.

Other than that, it’s more or less leftover orders from the weekend.

Took the kids out to play soccer today, I haven’t done that in a while, and I’m feeling it. My legs were tired, but I enjoy it.

09/16

30 day plan.

I forgot all about this. I need to get back on track with this. Day 14. Fix the About Us section.

Again?

I thought I did that a couple of months ago.

Restock for Crystal Dominion on TCG Player and eBay.

09/17

Had a few Legacy Collection cards laying around, so I listed them on TCG Player. I got a whole bunch of boxes a while back, and nobody wants them. That’s kind of weird, maybe that means I should open them up. I haven’t done a video in a while.

Soccer Practice for the kids, we went early again and played for a bit before the coaches arrived. After that we got dinner at Wendy’s, homework, and played a game of 99 Nights.

09/18

Listed a bunch of Crystal Dominion on eBay. These ones aren’t just a restock, new foils mostly. If you need some, we got some.

We took the kids out for Soccer. That was all afternoon.

Started sorting Emissaries of Light. That’s up next for a restock.

09/19
Well, you guessed it. Restock of Emissaries of Light on TCG Player and eBay. Also listed new foils from Emissaries of Light on eBay as well.

There’s more stuff going on in the background, things I mentioned before, but I won’t speak about them until we have something going. I’ll drop hints here and there, but that’s about it.

09/20

The weekend is here, and it’s games day. Today the kids lost 4-0. And, my kids played the worst they ever did. It’s probably my fault, I had them up late. So, next week they are going to sleep early. Can’t have them fall behind on things that they enjoy doing.

I thought I was going to take my kids to a birthday party, but then they said that they didn’t want to go. That’s strange. I usually am all day at the restaurant on Saturday, but it looks like I got the night off. So, I took a nap. A long nap. And, then I went to get dinner and went back to bed.

09/21

Had to take care of things for the restaurant today. Things that I should have done yesterday.

Got home, got stuff ready to take to Storage, went to Menards, picked up a bunch of Light Fixtures. Some of those lights will be for the videos.

After that I just finished up the Weekends orders and headed to bed early. ish.

Kardboard Fantasy V – Legend of the Korners

09/08

I didn’t.

Feel better that is.

I just tried resting up, but you know how that goes. I ended up running around all day. And, when I finally got home it was time to get ready for tomorrow.

Kids, bedtime routine and dinner.

Oh, and don’t forget the leftover orders from the weekend.

09/09

“When I flush the John! The shower goes on!”

It’s time to try and fix this drain in the shower. I thought it was a simple clog, cause that’s what it usually is. I don’t know what’s in there, but I ended up breaking 2 rodders. That was not fun at all. I gave up on it after a while cause my drill got stuck to one as well.

Amateur Plumber. At your service.

Started Sorting Opus XIV. Add in the new bulk and new cards that we acquired, make it one big batch for our restock, instead of going through different piles at a time, to find the cards we need.

09/10

Restocked Opus XIV – Crystal Abyss on TCG Player and eBay.

The Kids had Soccer practice today, and we got there 30 minutes early. We had the whole field to ourselves for a while, we had some fun before their practice started.

09/11

Listed a bunch of Opus XIII – Crystal Radiance Foils on eBay.

And, I’ve been using Notebook LM. It’s a great piece of AI that you can feed it a bunch of sources, and it will give you a great summary about it.

Also started sorting Opus XV – Crystal Dominion for a restock.

Played another game of 99 Nights in the Forest. We made it to day 33. We’re going to get there, We would have gotten to a lot more days, but I thought that if I had the Bandages and dies I would be able to revive myself. Apparently that’s not how it works.

09/12

I had plenty to do today.

Listed some new Opus XIV – Crystal Abyss Singles on eBay. 90% of them are foils.

Restock for Crystal Dominion on TCG Player and eBay.

That took me quite some time. Trying to juggle Kardboard Korner and the restaurant at the same time is not fun. Usually I wait till it slows down a bit, and then I grab some cards. And, as soon as I grab them, the phone rings.

Same thing happens when I make something to eat.

99 Nights in the Forest has become a nightly thing.

09/13

Gameday once again. We finally got our jerseys! #5 and #12 for my kids. They played good today. And we won our second game! 2-1 That makes us 2-2 in the standings. I don’t know what place we are maybe I should check the website and see if that data is available.

The kids got their Halloween costumes today, and they’ve been parading around the house with them.

I was doing my running around today and there were garage sales everywhere. I had no time to stop today, by where were all of these when I was out there a couple months ago.

09/14

Other than orders, not much got done today.

My daughter wanted goalkeeper gloves. She says she wants to be a goalie. So, I did what any father would do, we went and got some. I told her, that if we get them, we’re going to have to practice everyday.

We also went out for dinner again, and can’t say that we were pleased with our food. McDonald’s would have been better, and I don’t care much for McDonald’s.
