Friday was another full day for me. I had the 2-6 shift at Girl Boss. The boutique was open all week starting Tuesday because they had electricity and the two owners did not at home. So at least they would enjoy lights and air conditioning at the store.
We had some so-so days but had a fair amount of customers and sales all week. People were getting stir crazy staying home with no electricity after Hurricane Ida. So a little shopping trip in the A/C did them good.
At one point yesterday the two of us had our hands full with customers and visitors. I laughed when the owner asked me what happened to the lady that was looking at shirts? I told her that I had sold her a dress and matching shoes. She was a little surprised that I checked her out all by myself. I'm technically still in training. She was assisting a customer with finding a homecoming dress that she liked and her mother approved of. She did find a dress and a backup! She also had her eyes on a pair of shoes to match and I think that is how she decided she wanted a black dress. LOL.
We were also busy with incoming orders. I think we got in 6 different shipments of various things. One was jewelry for homecoming. One was waterproof boots which we really needed last week, but better late than never! We ended up tagging the boots and putting them out on the floor. Other deliveries were clothing.
I did sleep late today. We went to a Chinese place on the way home. It was a toss up between Chinese and Mexican and I let the hubby win on that one. But before we got home I was feeling sick. I was nauseous when we went up and down the hills on the way home. I was fine this morning when I woke up so whatever it was went away pretty fast.
I've just been taking it easy today. Do you have any plans for the Labor Day weekend?

You are in for the long haul!! How long is your wife's list?
It was kinda funny when I went in. They both remarked how I was all dressed up. Not really!! I had leapord print leggings and a black top on. They had blue jeans and t-shirts on. I think they were getting tired of wearing the same thing every day and running out of clean clothes.

I think you passed your bug to me. I've been throwing up and running a fever of 100F off and on all day. It hasn't been pleasant...
I can't settle on anything. I get bored and restless easy. Pretty told me to leave her alone and stop whining about not feeling good... *sigh*

@DaddyEvil There seems to be a mystery bug going around. Have a friend in NY that is sick with it too. My hubby is still saying he doesn't feel good.

@kareng Flying over hills never made me sick before... I loved doing that years ago...
We wouldn't do that!
Unless we're having fun...
Thanks. I ate a piece of toast with a little water a few minutes ago.

Sounds like a busy day! When you were referring to homecoming, is it LSU's homecoming?
I saw that LSU lost yesterday to UCLA. That sucks. I hate when SEC teams lose to teams in inferior conferences.

@kareng It couldn’t have been worse than the Clemson/Georgia game. That was unbearable to watch.

Yeah she had those shoes picked out. We asked if she needed shoes and suggested black ones to match the dress and she said, "I know the perfect ones." The she went to get them!! They hadn't even planned the adventure. They can in to exchange a shirt that was too small. The teen asked if we had homecoming dresses and the game was ON!

@RebeccasFarm Yes, and it sure is slow going. I'm sore right now and my back is feeling it! Tomorrow I'll have off from yard duty as I have a shift at Girl Boss.

That is just a stock photo. I wish it were my yard! Ha! Yes, it is and the business as a whole is doing very well. I just need to pick up some regular customers. The lady before me turned everyone off with not having stock, but I am well stocked now and still have more to add!!
Glad you finished your project!!
