I went back to work this week. And I am still working on having a good attitude about it. I LIKE my job, but as a teacher, it will always feel weird to go back to work in the middle of July. I'm not complaining, mind you, but it takes me a while to adjust to being back on a schedule.
In addition to working full time, I'm also trying to train for a triathlon on August 24 and a half marathon on Oct 20. In other words, I have a very full schedule and I'm tired and hungry a lot these days. How does all this affect pottery, you ask? Well, it means that I'm not able to be there very much. This week, I didn't make it back until Saturday morning. However, I did swim once, ride my bike twice, and run 4 times this week in addition to working full time and taking care of other family obligations. No wonder I was pooped by Friday!
Sept 28 is the next salt fire and I'm trying to have 30 pieces ready. I have a mental list of what I'd like to do...which I should really write down. Mental lists have a tendency to disappear. Anyway, that list includes at least one canister set. I threw the pots and lids on Saturday morning and went back on Sunday to finish them.
Before...
...and after.
So this is 3 of the 30 pieces...I just counted available weekends and I'm not going to make it if I don't work a little faster!
