Spring training

This year we will be reopening in April. For the past few years now March has been a weird month for me. It’s the transition between January and February where I’m mostly focusing on relaxing and rebuilding my body after a year of gelato making. And last year was especially harsh towards the end. March is when my mind slowly shifts back into gelato mode and I try to get my body ready. I also suffer from writer’s block during this time. I kind of forget everything and have to relearn it all. In one way this is good because fresh ideas come into my head. But it’s also bad in that I start to have nightmares where we are running out of milk or it’s the first day open and nobody comes in. It takes me a few weeks to work through that. By the end of March I’m fidgeting to reopen. I like to think of myself as an athlete that has a season and during the off-season I really let myself go. March is spring training.
