So I’m waking up sore and beating myself up. We had planned on debuting a Dalek Cat Stroller to promote #RenCon. I’ve never done a large build and this one got away from me. I lived off Caffeine this week with 2-3 hrs sleep each day while working my day job and coming home to just crafting.
And on Sunday at 12:35am after cutting a chunk out of my finger and misjudging specific cuts that ruined and wasted enough materials that in the middle of the night I had to accept defeat.
It’s my first time failing on a project and it’s been hard on me. I have a real problem saying no to projects, and have likely taken on too many in the last year… And they’ve taken their toll on me. I’m one of those people who tries to make everyone happy, but I’m finding out the hard way that it hasn’t been healthy for me. But I wanted to apologize to all of those who came out to see us and the build who I let down this weekend. We’ll finish the project. But in a Way/Schedule that doesn’t leave my body feeling like a huge lethargic bruise.
It’s a learning experience, I’m less hard on myself over the failure than I was on my body attempting to finish the build.
