On Saturday, we had a bonus shopping experience for Good Juju.
We had some good traffic, and honestly, I’m not quite sure what I sold. I think I did see someone pick up my two net trees.
They stand out because they are big and colorful. I know lots of other goodies left too, but was so exhausted by the end of the day, I did not take stock.
Working on the bathroom renovation after the guys repaired the structural issue wore me out.
Then, the clean up afterwards was brutal. We’d set up a plastic sheet to hold back the worst of the dust, thank goodness, but the cottage was still buried in a heavy layer of it.
A mere dusting wouldn’t clear it up. As I’d wipe it down with a wet, microfiber cloth, I’d get a smear of mud. So, it was heavy duty cleaning time, til everything sparkled.
Needless to say, my butt was dragging after all that. I’m so glad my booth was set up and ready before all of that!
After that, I went ahead and decorated the house for Christmas, so wore myself out even more. I kept reminding myself that I’m closer to 70 than I am to 60 now, but that didn’t change the fact that stuff needed doing, right?
I wonder when the point comes that I simply won’t keep dragging that tired butt around and not get done with what I’ve planned?
So when the time for our sale came, I was so happy to be out of the house and done with all the physical labor, I felt like I had a day off.
It was such a lovely day, festive and fun. I loved all of the Christmas decorations around the mall.
It was a great day, hanging with friends, talking to customers. And now I have about a week to gather up more goodies to bring in for the First Fridays weekend. But for today? I’m taking a real day off. Kicked back, watching endless tv in my comfy sweat pants, and sipping licorice tea while the Christmas lights twinkle.
Hey Karla – You have certainly been busy! I’m glad you are taking some time for yourself. Unfortunately, it doesn’t get easier the older we get!
