One word to describe this day? WIND. And many other things, BUT THE WIND!!!
La veille, on propose à ma mère d’exposer à la Fête de la Cerise à Thannenkirch (juste à côté de Bergheim, le village préféré des français. La classe, oui oui). Dernières productions en urgence chez Clin d'Oeil Nature where I work.
The next day, we install the stall. I go back to the shop to get last minute equipment (yes, we were caught off guard), thinking of going back home after bringing everything to her, planning to go back to bed, 'cuz I can't seem to wake up.
Je me gare à mi-chemin, parce que 0,1% de chance de trouver une place après la fin de la file, et ils ont déjà fermé l’accès aux voitures des exposants. Tout va bien, j’ai un chariot. Je prends juste un peu de place sur la route déjà serrée avec toutes les voitures garées, avec indiscrétion sonore, mais pas grave.
My mother suddenly realizes that I could also exhibit my creations. I'm not sure of what I got on the spot, 'cuz our daily routine is often facing improvisations. I go home to check on what I got to exhibit, call her to confirm I have enough to show, she asks the staff if I may add myself, she confirms to me, I go back there, crossing half of the village walking, backpack full and a case in the hand, because fed up with cars manœuvres (my endurance is improving, everything's fine.)

I install. There's wind. I'm scared for cards, stickers, etc. I'm right. Everything's landing on my face. (Reconstitution of the scene on the right.)
Je prends des cailloux cherchés auparavant au jardin, prévus à cet effet, les emballe pour éviter d’abîmer les articles les plus légers sur lesquels je les pose. Et pour soutenir le mini chevalet. À part quelques bourrasques violentes, ça tenait. Go faire l’inventaire pour être sûre que rien n’a été perdu.
Anyway, it was cool. Many people interested in my creations. My anxiety level at zero, despite the total impro without my usual preparation checklists.
Even Selya that I met, who was also exhibiting, told me that I looked comfy while talking, when I told her about my difficulties that inspired my comic Walls To Break. Faut que j’assure devant elle maintenant. (Si tu lis ça, c’était le miracle de l’année lol. Nan mais t’es super sympa aussi.)
We laughed, 'cuz people thought she was me. I'm known in the village without being known. I explain:
My mother's shop opened by the end of last year. She took months of advance with paperworks to hire me for the opening. Despite that, the wait for the administration's response made it that she could hire me only one pregnancy after the opening, as she likes to say.
Anyway, it's been months that she talks about me to customers, and some never saw me yet, they only know that I do productions of goodies, etc. like Selya. We were like:

Back home, I notice a felt pen mark from unknown origin. A beautiful regular circle in the middle of the hand. I have no explanation- Ah, maybe my hand was pushed against the lid at some point. Anyway! I don't know how to conclude, so we'll end on this!
And thanks to the organizers for accepting me!
