No Flea Market Today!

As I told you yesterday, I was very tired when I got home from the event. Today I'm better, but have all the sore muscles from packing, loading and unloading boxes, etc. What I didn't mention yesterday was that I stopped at the flea market which was in the same small town to tidy up. When I walked in the ladies in the office were excited to see me because I haven't seen the weekend crowd that I normally work with there since the middle of December. So I had to sit in the office for a bit and chat to catch up on things. Then I went to my booth to tidy up. It wasn't bad because one of the weekend workers has been picking up here and there for me because she thought either I was sick or something bad happened. Before I was finished tidying up, I was asked to please come help in the office and asked to PLEASE help. There was an emphasis on "help" and I got the message. There were 3 ladies in the office working. We usually get along fine with 3 in the office on weekends. But, the owner's girlfriend was there and let's just say she is a bit "slow." She can't figure out what needs to be done without being told. Whereas, normal weekend workers try to expedite the checkout and have things on counter and grouped with same numbers to make things run faster and smoother. It's just less work and keeps the line moving. So I gladly went to help out. It was a busy day and we had people checking out appliances, which needs someone to stay with them to make sure they don't tear up the machine, people wanting in locked boxes all at the same time and that requires a worker to stand by the case. So we kept all four people busy. So today, I am just staying home and resting. Not driving back to flea market today. I will focus on resting up, working on Ebay listings, and maybe looking for that lost key. Oh and I need to get some body butter samples put into those little pods. How are you spending your Sunday? I hope you all have a wonderful day. Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain

Wow, you got a lot done. I didn't know you sell on eBay too. What do you sell? You are really busy. Don't forget to get some rest here and there.

I have been selling on Ebay since I used to work a side job for a Golf Company out of New Orleans way back in the 90's. I sell a variety of things there: some sports related things, books, collectibles, LSU clothing and memorabilia, etc.

@lilacskies It's just stupid to throw good items away. And I don't know anyone who throws antiques and collectibles away

@kareng Wow, you have been selling on eBay for a very long time. That is so impressive. You are also keeping those items out of the landfill instead of throwing them away. Good job!

I had lunch. I had plans to go somewhere, but the DST snoozies knocked that out, so I’m just going to bed. Hope you find your key soon. Probably explains what most Apple Air Tag holders are key rings.

I've been fighting with George about taking his meds and drinking his shakes. He's been telling me to go away.

Tell him you will fix hot dogs later tonight if he will go ahead and get the meds and shake for now!

You were a busy little beaver yesterday, good for you for taking the day today for yourself. We need to do that after such a busy day. My day has been pretty chill, I have been enjoying the lovely sunshine. I even wiped down our patio furniture a little while ago.

@kareng This week will be a nice spring weather week. It seems that when the time change comes along, and the sun is in the sky closer and for a longer time, we warm up so quickly. I am ready for that. I noticed a bit of growth in the ground in the planter where I have some autumn sedum last week already, that will continue to grow with the warmer weather.

@DaddyEvil Nope, I rarely watch television or movies! Yep, I have another round of dishes as we had some leftover gumbo for dinner tonight. My hubby put it on to warm up and of course instead of getting a 3-4 quart pan, he gets a big dutch oven size pot out.

@kareng I've done dishes twice so far today. The dishes Pretty used during the night and the bowl and spoon I dirtied up this morning... Did you watch that second Jurassic Park movie? When the black girl was going to stick her head out the hole under that shed and the raptor went to bite her? I jump every time I've watched that movie.
