ravena_kadeBeen wicked busy...tired. Stressed.
Last week was the last week for my major function at work. Trying to clear up any left over cases will be my goal for the upcoming week... and its a short one for me. The new people in PA did not make contact. The boss has not me told anything. She thinks that they will be experts I laugh. Not because I was good at it(I was), but because someone better at it than me thinks they won't be. I should've at least been introduced to the person who is supposed to call me as a resource. Oh well. It should be interesting... I won't get stressed as I know my boss doesn't think I should talk to them as they are experts so if they are rude she will jump on it.
My function now has been regressed to data entry. Fine. My pay scale works with that... and if it is quiet I will take some on line courses. And just chill for a bit... it should mean that I can come home and nor be so tired from stress... and I can get back to what I want to do when I come home...I hope...
I took a half a day on Friday to de stress. My friend with the ceramic store asked if I wanted to go to a ceramic store about an hour and a half away (Im from New England, we tell distance by time). Sure. I always wanted to go to the shop to see if they had all the supplies I need. And yes, they did. I even bought a small ceramic mold so I can make tiny chubby trees. Yay.
The bad was that coming home we hit Boston traffic. It took 3.5 hours to get home. So I didn't get to relax as I had to then cook Dad dinner, do Dad food shopping and do Dad banking... I hate traffic.
Yesterday we did a Family Tea. The cousins took us to Tea with them as a thank you for watching the cats and the house when they were in Europe. It was lovely. We had Tea, cute dainty sandwiches and pastries. I was surprised that Dad enjoyed it so much. The only Bad was that we hit 2 hours of traffic going home so I was in late and did not get to finish a painting project. Glad things were fun...and that the cousins were not as argumentative as they can be when they are stressed.
Today I was up at 5 AM. Watched a science program and finished painting a Christmas tree. Got another tree in the kiln, made Monday and Tuesday nights' supper, did 3 laundries, packed up an oder that will net me %40...all before 9 AM. I was able to sit Dad down and teach him how to glaze Christmas trees and he finished his. (he thinks he can sell them... that would be nice).
Next on my list to do is teach ceramics at the cousins and then at 5 go to a ceramic league meeting where we will decide if we want to do another show next fall. I am thinking that we should send out to local elder living places and see if they have activities directors and send them a free ticket to come in and talk to us about setting up a ceramics class at their facility. Our goal to spread hobby ceramics. We are a non profit. Maybe we can inspire places to get a kiln and do this. I personally am looking into showing Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts the hobby... maybe if we get kids to come in in their uniform for free we can show them the hobby. I say free as them they will shop with the vendors. Then I also say open up some booths to non ceramic things. If a pampered chef person wants to come in sure... I know I may buy from a vendor that has something I like=)
Oh well. I need to put on real clothes and go to ceramics with the aunties and cousins.
