Affects

Saturday, November 30, 2024

Yesterday was Black Friday. Working in my part-time department store sales position probably logged me some 40,000 or more steps. The store was so busy that we, working, barely took breaks and later went home exhausted. All is good toward the store’s goals.

Before leaving for work today, I will search for ideas for a “shoe keeper” that suits a designated space. I have notions, tools, and (primitive) woodworking skills; I want a design that’s easy and quick to produce. I feel like doing some woodworking; a shoe keeper is a worthwhile objective.

The news these days, increasingly to me, is a jumble of concerning affairs. Maybe the physicality of woodworking is an acceptable alternative to worrying about world affairs. That might be why I lean toward the physicality of performing work on my home and property and toward my outside work in a busy role.

In the short term, remaining active at home despite less daylight and doing sales for Christmas will keep me hopping to care for property and animals, meet my part-time employers’s needs, and play with woodworking.

Dear Friends: World affairs aside, Christmas rush-shopping starts now. Diana
