Day No. 4

Wow, what a day.  I just got home from work, I started at 2:30pm.  I work every Thursday at a Co-Op that I belong to called The Hotel California Co-Op.  We sell clothes, jewelry, home goods, all kinds of stuff.  Everything is brand new with the exception of a few vintage and antique goods.  I make jewelry, I am a lapidarist and metalsmith by trade.  Which means I cut a polish stones, semi-precious, precious and minerals and I forge all of the jewelry by hand either by lost wax casting or by hand, I use pure gold and silver, melt it down with a high grade copper for alloy and form the metal from there, usually I melt it to an ingot then hand roll the ingot into sheet, then go from there.  I love it, and I love to write.  I am very blessed, considering where I was mentally even a few short months ago.

Fear has been the primary motivator my whole life.  As I think back I shudder at how I felt this time last year.  Unfortunately, like last night, my brain is fried.  I will continue our conversation tomorrow.  Good night to all.
