I've Been Busy: Yesterday was Boutique Day

You all know I like to stay busy, but things have been too stressful this week. I was getting over the all day event at the Farmer's Market and resting up to work on Wednesday at the boutique. It was a fairly easy day and I did a total reset on the makeup table. That kept me busy most of the afternoon and in between customers. I was working alone and only had one hot spot with multiple customers in the store. Wouldn't you know that is when the phone starts ringing? I had two phone calls in a row concerning monogramming orders. One order had been placed and should have been ready this past Friday. It was not on the shelf in the back room for pickup. The other call was for an emergency order with monogram needed for this coming Saturday. I tried to call the vendor and no answer. So I sent a text. I still did not get a response from her so I am hoping she called the customers. I stayed busy today with odds and ends. I will be back at the boutique tomorrow to work the afternoon shift and close. I volunteered to work since the owners are in Dallas this week at market. Then I realized it was my birthday. Instead of declining work, I just decided we would go to dinner after work in Baton Rouge. My husband has some work to do at our house in Louisiana so we will carpool. I'll try to get another post up Friday morning. If not have a happy Friday, everyone! Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain

I woke up this morning at 4 am with acid reflux and didn't get back to sleep until around 6. I must have forgotten my medicine yesterday morning.

@LindaOHio Yes, with Covid restrictions lifted, everyone is ready to get out again. We will have to try a week night next time.

Yes, but didn't go to my top choice of restaurants. They were packed, no place to park and a one hour wait for a table.

You know, that’s why I don’t miss working in the least. I had MONTHS at work where I twiddled my thumbs. (I worked at a time management assessment nonprofit that helped school systems, so there wasn’t much to do when school wasn’t in session in the summer.) Then I had MONTHS at work where I literally couldn’t catch my breath until two hours after I was home because we were so busy!! Well, I guess it wouldn’t be “work” if it was all nice and balanced all the time, right?
