Illustrious

Been doing pretty well, just the occasional binge. However, I have decided tonight that it’s not worth it. I don’t even know what I really get out of a binge besides a really bad feeling and bloating. Which usually continues the next day. And then I think about how I bust my ass on the damn treadmill. Silly.

Let’s see how it goes.

I am currently looking into kiosks. I think it’s a good idea to start small, very small. Just sell a few baked goods that are hopefully gonna be very popular and generate enough profit, so I can expand into a proper bakery/cafe at some point. But these kiosks are bloody expensive… need to shop around.

I’ve been putting off writing an entry for this and actually ‘closing’it, but I realize I have to. At least for now. Professionally, there are 2 things I wanna do in my life: set up a bakery and be an architect. Now, I can’t do both at the same time! It’s just not possible. Architecture is a very demanding field to study. It would take a long time, cost a lot of money, and unfortunately where I live, possibly not even bring me much income. And setting up a bakery will also take an enormous amount of work, effort, dedication… I have to choose. And I chose the latter because a)it’s easier to receive training for (I live on a tiny island and there’s not much in terms of architecture studies going on, but there are a few gourmet bakeries…), b) it’s easier to get approval for by my husband (which makes it more likely that I’ll actually be able to DO it), c) it seems that it might bring me more of an income, which I desperately want. I want to be able to stand on my own two feet financially.
I’m really sad about letting this go. I love architecture, and always will, and I’ll always get melancholic thinking about it. But maybe my business will go really well and will be satisfying enough for me to get over the architecture studies:) I hope.
