Nothing tells the truth more than or bodies. Today, I am not feeling well. I felt it a bit two days ago and later on yesterday I was sure it was coming to this. That’s the bad news.
The good news is I really only worked about 4 hours in total today (including shopping). I made donuts this morning after a failed dough last night and then I went shopping and I was done. I even managed to watch two episodes of Ray Donavan while soaking in the bath tub. And yes i slept some too.
Tomorrow I must be at the bakery early because it is that day of the week. We have croissants, donuts, pastries, blueberry muffins, and of course, chocolate chip & walnut cookies. Once I am done making the breads I will make more muffins. But, I also took the leftover croissant dough and made pastry shells so I will make another vanilla cream and get some nice fresh berries from the market to top them with.
The last three days have been really slow. Yesterday we were short some money of our goal and today not even close, like Monday. It’s very stressful to say the least and really I hope that things start to pick up in September. I believe they will!! I believe it to be true!! Yes!!!
Today a couple came in looking for ham and cheese on croissants. Sandy explained we do not have those foods, we are a vegan bakery. An hour later they came back and looked again. I guess they thought we would change our minds in that short time and do something different just to suit them.. nah!! It’s kinda funny if you ask me... well, that they came back a second time that is.
Tonight my mantra is sound sleep. I will be the recipient of many hours of quality rest and relaxation. My mind will be calm and my body equal.
In closing, I want to say, no matter where you are in the world, support your local businesses. That support really makes a big difference. I appreciate every single sale, even if it’s the .80 cent cookies .. for me, the money is important, but it’s also the relationships that are built through the food provided. We live in a time where big companies make it very hard for corner stores to survive and if you ask me, it’s the nuance of those mom and pop shops that make cultures diverse yet included, unique and satisfying ...
