  1. Spring time in Georgia. Beautiful weather inspires me to get out in the studio. I just cleaned it up and organized it, which means I very well might make some pots for the first time in 2 years. Had to make sure the potters wheel even still worked today. Thankfully it buzzed right up. Kiln turned on as well! Whew!

      Are you going to post pictures Denice? When/if you do please tag me. I would love to see it.

      As far as the shoulder, yea. I am trying to keep everything to a minimum. My work is super simple now and I have optimized the flow of my machinery and stuff so well that I don't have a ton of physical labor to do anymore.

      I worked at Starbucks as a peak supervisor and working the espresso machines for 4.5 years just destroyed my shoulder. Picking up gallon jugs of milk 500-600 times a day pouring it, steaming it, pouring that and pumping syrups then bending over and putting the milk back in the fridge... Just wrecked me.

      Thankfully I have moved on.

      Ow that sounds like that could cause a lot of problems,  our friend carried a heavy mailbag for 35 years.   When I was 20 I worked in a dental lab and had to stand on a ladder and  lift a 25 lb bag of plaster over my head and dump it in the plaster bin.   They finally gave the job to a man,  it was causing to much commotion with the other workers.  The other women didn't think I should do that job and the men  would look up my skirt (uniform).   I don't think that type of work did long term damage to me,  I am 70 and have MS and can still pick up a 25lb  bag of clay off the floor with one hand.   I laid out my mural yesterday,  I have to remake quite a few tiles.   It is three dimensional and is a landscape of Arizona so getting a good fit has been quite challenging.     Denice

      That story is so amazing. Classic workforce story. I can't wait to see your mural.
