What happened to my stamina? I used to pump out multiples of costumes assembly line style. I could and would sew 10 12 hours straight like a demon. I just can't do that any more. I feel like my life is just one big give up.
Give up running too hard on your joints. Okay. Quit coaching Drama, too stressful. Quit choreographing for theaters. Too little time and stress. Think of your health. Stop earning extra money cleaning the banks. ( I was glad to give this one up) Not the money however. Give up the studio, your mother and health are too important. So I should be able to devote my time to sewing, but even that is failing. Those big huge costume projects are a thing of the past. I just can't sew that hard anymore. Is this old age? I don't feel old.
Anyway, I only have one pair of pants to alter and two cow hoods to make and I am done with studio work. But I have 10 pairs of pants to hem for the shop.
I am going to jump in the shower and then get my sewing done, and go pay some bills. Yippee!
Have a great and productive day!

I am not sure, but when I as a little younger I used to be what I fondly called a pack mule. I could lug or move anything anywhere and could work a good solid 6 hours doing hard work stopping only for a drink of water or the bathroom. No longer and it kind of tees me off, but I am positive my age has nothing to do with it, right?
ReplyDeleteRight what is this age thing and why is it affecting me? I hate it. I mean I really do.
DeleteOn the inside we aren't any older, but on the outside all bets are off! My doctor said to me "you have the heart of an athlete but the body of a 60 year old. It sucks.
