The only problem with Door Dashing is making too little to cover the bills and the spend on fuel to do the job. Never mind maintenance and all that. Still, I carry on, and this week I am trying to put in extra hours to make up for the poverty and destitution it leaves us in. I have to work a lot of hours to get ahead. Meanwhile, yesterday I was reading the Facebook conversation one of the local Dashers was having with a guy who said that Dashing was just something done by people too lazy to get a real job. Thanks for reminding me why I don’t get on social media. What a child! As if he can judge anyone’s motivations from his limited perspective! Yeah, I hate social media.
So, back to my blogging, where nobody argues with me.
This week was interrupted by Market, which I ended up staying at rather than trying to go in and work. It was so relaxing, and really put a break into the schedule, so I appreciated that quite a lot. We are still not making much. I will be trying to get into making some boxes for my candles for future markets. I think they may spark interest and add something fresh. I also think they may be a vehicle to help people understand what our booth is about, which is local, sustainable, and handmade products. Once they see something they understand, I think they may come around to understanding that everything else in there is intended to help them to produce the same kinds of things.
Well, I’ll be off to work soon, and hope for a profitable day. I am trying to spend the down time working on ideas to make our little farm more profitable doing the things we love. I think an article set needs to be planned out for the farm website. Perhaps the production process from tree to furniture would be a good one. I also have an idea of making a photo that is explicitly Cache Valley and putting it onto the solid wooden bottom of a tea tray, then selling it at Market, and/or using it as a demonstration piece to show that we can do it, and it can be ordered with a custom image. Maybe that would be a good way to do a classic silhouette, too! Or it could be just burned into the bottom board rather than done as an applique. I like that! Good potential there!
Right. I better go out and feed the livestock, then get off to work! I have a lot of laziness to attend to!
