So there it is. I tried to hold myself to a higher competition level than I entered at. Did this cause me to not finish everything? In part but I also grossly underestimate how long things take. I’m getting somewhat better at that but clearly still have room for improvement. I opted to sleep (for a few hours) last night. As such I did not get the shoes done. Could I have banged out simple quick shoes this morning? Perhaps but I didn’t do that. Past me would. Current me understands the value in not carrying frantic energy. So I’m going to get some garb on and make myself pretty. I don’t expect to ‘win’ but I don’t need to. I’ve proven to myself that I can compete. I made amazing garb for my son and it’s the most HA things I’ve ever done. I’m proud of me.
