8:15am I am vacant. The usual shapes that bounce through my head have left. They have been replaced by orange yellow envelopes with customer names. In the business world I believe the epidemic is called success, to my creative side this is called short term mental imprisonment. This attitude is wrong to have, I know, because I am here to help the customer, and I should be thankful that they are here to support me financially and in many cases spiritually. They are why Soulmates looks better each day with new inventory, and they inspire me to make things I normally would not do. There is no way I can finish my jobs in less than three months with new jobs appearing each day. I have two hands plus help with the minor jobs, yet I am going backwards. 8:00pm Ripped through some jobs that were "splinters" and some that weren't, then went climbing. At the gym on the fifteen degree wall, I finished two problems that I couldn't do two days before. One problem involved a hold that I have called for many years "bitch mamma." a hold that looks very much like the Death Star and provides very little purchase for the hands. She has been renamed "Mamma" after my last accomplishment on this "problem." After climbing, I'm driving home and found inspiration from the 275 overpass on 71 for a very neat pendant. Just wait you'll see. Amazing how in one day so much can change when you can find the splinter in you and remove it. |
