I fulfill multiple roles at a startup company. I work with numbers. I am stressed from my work. I have been getting up early. Exercising helps my work-related stress. I have a heavy work load. I have developed a sense of calmness and gotten better at saying no. I have a good boss. We have a lot of work between the two of us. I would like to work a more labor heavy job. I have tried some DIY work in the past. I am busy every day. I do not find my job very emotionally rewarding. I would like to work with my hands. I will likely keep my current job. I feel a loyalty to my boss. I improve my house in my free time. I like making simple furniture for myself and friends and family. I like woodworking.
I read. I believe in Jesus Christ as a god. I need a break when I am stressed. I am less stressed at my new job. I am an English Tutor. I teach children grades 3-5th. The children I teach are from South Korea. I have a new job. I work with children. I enjoy my work but it can be stressful. I can not do DIY work.
What books have you read in your free time? I recently read Tom Sawyer for the first time.  It is such an inspiring story. Was that your first time reading it? I remember the first time that I read it, I think I was in 7th grade. Yeah, I know it's surprising.  My teacher made us read it in elementary school but I was too busy at church. You must read Adventures of Huckleberry Finn next. It's got a little different tone than Tom Sawyer, but I know you're absolutely going to love it. Thanks for the recommendation.  Is it very long? I don't remember how long it was, but it's a very easy read. It's the perfect book for a day at the beach. Do you have any other good recommendations? I feel like I should be asking you for recommendations. I spend a lot more time reading spreadsheets than I do reading books. Haha.  You could try reading Adventure of Jean Marie.  It's a French novel. I've never, ever heard of it. Is there an English speaking version that I could get. Or, even better, I wonder if I could get it as an audiobook. Yes, it's available in both forms!  Great novel!
