Finding a new normal
Today’s space on the calendar was blank. After weeks of calendar days filled with tiny multicolored writing it was so refreshing to have the full stretch of an empty day. I used the day to stay at home, take some naps, wash some laundry, and clear away clutter. The pace was so relaxed it felt luxurious.
Today was also the first day of regular ordering for the Schlock book. I had my first chance to create a system for fulfilling orders. I think I’ve got it pretty much squared away. I’ve even set up a special mailing station in the storage room with all my supplies close to hand. For now it looks like the mailing might take a couple of hours each day. I expect that will taper off to an hour or less as the first rush is over and as I perfect my mailing system. Right now the biggest delay is the annoying strapping tape dispenser. What I really want is essentially a desktop scotch tape dispenser only for strapping tape. Our local Staples doesn’t have it. I’ll have to do some online searching.
It feels really good to not be so stressed.
