Rabbit, it’s the word of the day!
Indeed, December first. Well I only got a mile in, but by my standards it was a fast mile. Kept the streak going on Day 6. That’s what matters here, I’ll pick up miles later this week. Coming out of a nasty head cold is no time to be a hero and tick off 6 miles in the rain in December.
Instead, I tiled my kitchen back splash.
So while I’m doing this, and doing a damned fine job at it, I wondered if maybe instead of just finding a teaching job in Italy, I ask my friends if they need a handyman for a couple months and do that while looking for a job, that could work out. I’m very pleased with how this turned out and can’t wait to grout tomorrow and get this project done.
I like being handy, I like being able to do things that professionals charge people thousands of dollars for. But more than that, it gives you a different sense, a connected feeling to the work, to the place. It makes you value those things more, because you know what went into that, and you left a little piece of yourself in it.
I’m a big fan of gardens for the same reason, it makes the food taste that much better. Simply because you did it, it’s your toil, your energy that went into making that thing, and it makes it more special, more enjoyable, because it’s truly yours. That’s what I did today, I made shit happen.
So have fun, keep running, and remember; If Gil can run (or tile), then so can you!
