grappling with career, balance and midlife in the midst of the domestic scene

I was at work today.
Let me rephrase.
I was at work outside of the home, covering my shift at the Blackberry Gift Shop in the Port Moody Arts Centre. It's part of my membership obligations for belonging to the artist's cooperative and selling my work thru the gift shop. One shift per month - not too bad! I get to leave the house (on my own) and sit surrounded by amazing pieces of art and talk to people .....
..... about art .....
..... not about piano practice, meals and nutrition, playdates, scheduling, childcare, business travel, groceries, meal planning, laundry, toilets, bathtimes, why not's, when's, threats, discipline, hygiene, bedtime .....
..... and so on.
If it's quiet, I make stuff too.

That sounds lovely. Really, really lovely. :)
It is really really blissful. OK it's not busy and I haven't sold any of 'my stuff' in a while, but it's so nice to get back into the land of work ....
