I'm thinking of keeping this 32" prismatic deco hoop for myself!

The stack is growing, but today was tough!  Having a non-negotiable daily quota of 6-8 hoops is definitely a challenge.  When I woke up (late) my hands were aching.  The ability to tape a hoop smoothly comes with a price on the body when exercised excessively.  I would be wise to spread my hoop making out over the whole year instead of two months.  ;/  

With all the other requirements of life - food needs to be shopped for, and made!  The dogs need a walk!  The dishes need doing!  The garbage must be taken out!  The lawn needs to be mowed!  There's laundry to do!  The battery in my truck is dead and I need a jump!  I used to have a social life! - it's no wonder I didn't get any of the hoops made before work today.  I taped all 8 of them during my shift again, but I shouldn't keep doing that. I've been rushing through the five or six hours of work they want me to do in a frenzied few hours and spend the rest of the night taping hoops and listening to podcasts.  If I get fired before the end of June I will have to go waitress on the highway and I would rather apply a cheese grater to my elbow, with tension.  

So that's where I'm at with the GeoRev Project today.  I want a day off from production but I'm only a week into this and don't think I deserve one until I can complete double my quota: 16-20 hoops in a day.  The thought of what that might do to my hands is a bit scary.  I will work through the fear and have faith that my hands will get stronger.  Thankfully I am still very much enjoying the satisfaction of making a beautiful new hoop for someone I don't know yet to dance with.  That's what's keeping me going, dear reader.  That and the abject terror of failure.
