Alrighty buckaroos, strap in because I'm going to attempt to give you the tl;dr of what's been going through my head for the past indeterminate amount of time.
The Moscow Farmers Market starts back up this weekend (YAY) and I'll definitely be there this season, but I'll also be doing a lot of trying to figure out if I can still fit it into my schedule moving forward. It's not an exaggeration when I say I wouldn't be where I am today without MFM, but it might also be time to shift focus onto what I came here to do (the downtown bakery).
My dream is to be able to provide the same baked goods everyday I'm open. I don't make a lot on Thursdays because it's not a busy day and I'm guessing it's not a busy day because I don't make a lot, so I'm still trying to figure that out too. It genuinely messes with my head a lot more than people probably think it does when people come in and say "oh my gosh I'm so glad I finally caught you when you're open!" or "I've been wanting to stop by but every time I drive by you're closed." What a lot of people probably still don't know is that I built this storefront for the bigger kitchen, not the store itself. Walk-in sales are an added bonus, but special orders will always have priority and if I have to close the front so I can make cakes, I will not hesitate.
Basically, here's the proposed schedule for the month of May. If we're being completely honest, graduation is going to take everything out of me. It already is lawl. Also I don't usually broadcast this information but just so you guys know where my head is at, WSU graduation is on my birthday this year and the fact that one of the busiest days of the year for me is also a day that I would love to take off of work is messing with me a lil bit ๐
So anyways, I guess the tl;dr of the tl;dr is that as much as I want to please all of the people all of the time, I'm trying โจrealโจ hard to make the schedule that works best for me and my mental well-being. I know a lot of my posts have talked about this, but it's something that I think about basically every second of every day, so thanks for reading my live journal and thank you for following along on this journey with me ๐๐๐
