Accomplished

I just finished hemming one of my new pairs of pants with a new trick from Youtube. They look wonderful and the new method is much easier than the old. Afterward I folded them up, put them in my closet, and felt like I had actually done something.

Eight hours of my day goes to creating computer files for products I will never see the end result of. Perhaps this is what makes me slow down in the mornings when I'm almost out the door for work. I'm tired of sending my files off into the void, never knowing if they will actually be used for production. The end result is important. Not for bragging rights or showing off, but to know your project is done, finished.

Next year is going to be completely different. I will be in charge of writing the process and overseeing the end results. Some days it feels like I will be able to handle any obstacle. Others it feels like the overbearing weight of responsibility is going to crush me.

The most anyone can do is take it one day at a time. There's still so much left to plot before the end of the year.
