I am trying to think of something inspirational, or funny, or even vaguely interesting to share with y’all this weekend and I gotta be honest, I’m coming up empty. I’m tired, friends. I’m exhausted by this new normal, I feel run down from not getting any kind of vacation this year- of not seeing any member of my family since March and there is just something in the air that is weighing me down. I can name it. You probably can too- but I won’t. We’re all in the same boat, I’m sure- and if not in the same boat, we are at least in the same lake right now.
It’s starting to get cold here- and usually with the cold comes rain. This is what I lovingly refer to as my baking season. Not only do we have a ton of holidays coming up, but I love to make bread- then I leave the oven cracked and let that hot air help heat the house while the oven cools back down. I tend to take a break from making bread frequently during the summer because the heat that is a blessing in the winter is a curse in the summer. This year I’m going to be teaching the kiddo how to really bake too- rather than just letting her “help”, I’m going to try to take a step back and really let her take the lead. Pray for my sanity and my kitchen- but I think this will be a fun way to pass a winter that is going to involve a lot of quarantining. Speaking of, if you have the inclination- please pray or send good thoughts to several friends and family of ours that are currently battling C-19. Sadly, we know more than 10 people fighting it right now. Thank you all!
My earnings have been a bit sad this week too. I knew it was coming, I’ve been doing too well for too long. Still, anything worth doing is worth doing poorly- meaning it’s better to earn $1 than no dollars.
I took a bit of a break from crafting orders this week to enjoy just making some things for my own amusement. I’m working hard to remember that this is my hobby and not to get caught up in making a few bucks at the cost of my enjoyment. It’s an excellent stress reliever at times.
