Not Stressed. I know. Scary, is it not?
After inventory I mellowed out a great deal. The only stress I am dealing with right now is my assistants. She has a very negative attitude right now. Of course, living with her uber-christian future mother-in-law has her a bit stressed out. She also has all the same questions I did at this point in her position - Why? Wouldn't...? This is dumb. We'll get through it.
In the mean time I want to thank all of my people for making a very stressful event very easy. I even had a pair offer to help me out in lieu of their anniversary plans. While I am most grateful for the offer and quite touched that they cared enough to make that offer, I never could have taken them up on it. It just is not in my make-up to do that.
In other news the key is almost done. I have a couple of small details to attend to that I completely forgot about. No big deal at all to add them - and I am certain no one but me would even notice their absence. Still, there is a proper way to do this so I am going to add them.
I need to get the basement cleaned up again so I can start my next project - an 18th packing box. It is the first in a series of projects intended to begin developing hand tool woodworking skills. Since I have no room for my power tools and hand work has been intriguing me I have decided to head down that path. So far I am enjoying it. It is quieter, cleaner and more hands on. Hand work allows me to lose myself in what I am doing. As an added bonus it also takes longer to screw something up. Overall I find hand work to be quite satisfying.
I leave you with an instrumental piece. It is not what you might think. 'Seven Sirens and a Silver Tear' is soothingly haunting.
