Comments on: Getting out of a slump and a Calderwood Cottage update https://sawdustgirl.com/getting-slump-calderwood-cottage-update/ Renovation, cabinet building and woodworking plans and tutorials. Build like a Girl® Sat, 03 Feb 2018 12:21:58 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.1 By: Mark Edenfield https://sawdustgirl.com/getting-slump-calderwood-cottage-update/#comment-84668 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 12:21:58 +0000 https://sawdustgirl.com/?p=35496#comment-84668 Yesterday I attatched wheels to my miter saw table. That’s it. And then I played solitaire and took a nap. LOL. But I felt like I at least achieved something worthwhile. It’s when I do absolutely nothing throughout the day – at the end I feel really guilty…even though it was only a goal of my own. I can only imagine the pressure that must exist when you have a blog to prepare and you can’t muster up the energy to build something. However, the saving grace is that you have loyal readers (and friends) who understand life and understand the reality of it all. In my case, motivation to begin something new (or continue) comes in waves. It will be here today, gone tomorrow and may not show up for another week. But I’ve learned to go with the flow and not beat myself up over it. Like I said above, do something that makes “you” happy. Hugs.

Thanks so much Mark. I think that’s exactly how I feel; like I have had all the energy sucked out of me. One day I’ll feel motivated and think I’ve finally gotten over the hump but my tolerance level for “things going wrong” is WAY lower than it was. Little things will smash the energy wind right back out of me. I know I’ll bounce back eventually. It’s just taking a lot longer than I think it should. haha

LOL You just helped me produce some serotonin! You’re the best! Julie and I both agree that we NEVER want a flip house that requires this much work again. We want to keep doing flips…just no more houses that are THIS bad! ha

I can’t imagine not accepting a genuine offer of help. Probably because I also am very quick to offer help if I think I have help to give. Give and take. That’s what friends do. You sound like a keeper- are you anywhere near Knoxville? LOL

Blogging definitely does add pressure but it’s more of NOT having anything to blog about because I’m not working on projects. Sunshine and warmth is definitely going to be welcome!
