π« 4.5 hours of sleep. Definitely not in a very good frame of mind so far today...taking a few walks throughout the day to keep my head clear, coffee for sure, and a solid wind-down routine later this evening to support a healthy night of rest.

Ice is just about completely melted from the Susquehanna river.

3am trips to the post office. Material for a chapter in a future book.
β Working through some computer-based tasks this morning, giving the sun a bit more time to rise before heading out for my walk.

Putting another pause on new orders so that I can catch up on the post-Christmas influx.
Beginning in February I absolutely need to bring on a part-time person to help with admin tasks, at least start with outlining what that role looks like, etc.

πΈ Closing the weekend ποΈ

π Planning to move in a few months, not buying for several reasons, most important being that I'm still figuring out exactly how I want to embark on that portion of life again. So, more renting. Either way, it will be nice to find a place that is a bit more "home like".

From this afternoonβs walk, the John Harris Mansion.

Enjoyable watching the Packers game tonight. Close game, just not meant to be. Hopefully more consistent next season.

I have recently been desiring more of a personal life, where work is not such a significant majority of my waking hours. A “balance” I have on my list of goals to accomplish this year, starting with having an actual quitting time (most days) and sticking to it.
π§ It never ceases to amaze me at how much self-confidence/esteem can fluctuate. Some mornings I wake up feeling sure of everything, by the evening deflated. Can't quite figure out the "trick" to managing this lately.

Empty.

π΄ Was planning to chip away at a few things tonight but am too tired. Listening to the nudge of my body and will head to bed shortly. Looking forward to the rest.

Oh man. This leather cigar set turned out better than I imagined it would! (If I may say soβ¦)

Not something I do very often, but π I just made a fresh batch of tan leather pen cases (good for fitting two fountain pens). Orders today will ship tomorrow!
