My Tuesday

I slept in a bit this morning and did not get up until 8:35. I was pretty tired after a busy Monday at the boutique. Today the only thing on the agenda outside of the house was to go to the antique store and get a new shelf put together and in the booth there. My husband was convinced to go and help with that and he got it all together in record time. I also brought an Italian made Tea Cart to put in the booth and the Paula Dean plates that I just picked up last week at the flea market. I had washed some old collectible bells that will go to the booth on my next trip. Right now I am not sure when that will be. I will also dig out some other stuff. I have another shelf which is out in the shed that I want to get out for what-nots and such. After we finished with the booth we stopped at Walmart for some more spray paint that the hubby needed. I also picked up bread and milk. That's my day. I am resting now. I have the boutique again tomorrow and I am sure it will also be a busy day. The sales today were almost over $1,000.00 which is not the norm for a Tuesday. I'm seeing all new figures here and new norms as the clientele has grown so much in this past year. How was your day and what did you do?

I took an unexpected trip to Ace. Hoping we don't have to go again.

@kareng Yes, Ace Madians Hardware. And, the journeys still out on weather or not it's fixed. Because when George plugged it in it started chirping and wouldn't shut up.

My day was pretty quiet. I slept, washed dishes and generally tidied up around the house.

@DaddyEvil Hey, we have to go shopping every now and then!! Now I have observed some ladies coming into the boutique that take over an hour trying on just about everything they can find in their size (some not their size...another story..lol), and then end of buying only one item or nothing. I would just find that a waste of my own time trying on so much for nothing. I don't get those kind.

@kareng I'll be asleep tomorrow. Well, as long as Pretty doesn't keep bothering me to take her shopping... She does that sometimes instead of letting me sleep.

When I have sales there is a profit. I did really well the first two weeks of the month. The third week was pretty slow for me. I am hoping we get a little more icing on the cake before the month closes out!

I went to the VA for an audiology appointment with Bob. Shopped a little. I think we always need milk, bread and eggs.

I had to break down and buy eggs last week. My chickens are starting to molt and therefore, laying has slacked considerably!

So, you own your own boutique then? That is really cool.

I woke up rather early and refused to get up. Next thing I knew the radio alarm came on. Guess I needed the extra hour

Sounds like a productive day! ?? My day has been good, thanks for asking. Just some routine tasks, nothing as exciting as your antique store adventures. Enjoy your well-deserved rest!

Congratulations on the sales. I can't do much so I spend a lot of time on MyLot and watching TV. I need to start reading again. Have a good day.

I always read before bed, but my reading has been falling behind. Many nights I don't even get a whole chapter in!
