I slept too long and woke up with 10 minutes to spare before the kids left for school. It didn’t make sense to rush downstairs to say goodbye to them, so I went to my new office to do some admin tasks before heading to the community center. Rolling out of bed and getting to work was kinda nice, actually. I could always work in my jammies if I wanted to, but there was something to having a private office I couldn’t explain.
After the computer tasks, I got dressed and went to the community center for my first full day of candle making! I cannot describe to you the excitement and energy I had walking through the doors. I had complete control over my life again, and it felt amazing!
I wanted to get better at making the carved candle, so I spent the entire day on them. They are more complicated and take twice as long to do, so I didn’t get as much done as I wanted and only made three candles. But it was all good because even if I only ever made three a day, that was still way more than I could ever produce in a weekend doing this part time.
Dwayne sent me a text, hoping I had a great day. I love knowing he’s thinking about me. I’m still trying to get better at this whole reaching out to friends thing. Even though I know he wouldn’t be offended if he were always the one to reach out, I need to let him know I’m thinking about him too.
