I managed to wake up early this morning, but it wasn't on my own or the alarm clock. It was thunder that aroused me! I got on up since i had a packed day. I managed to make it to the antique store around 11 am and packed breakables until I ran out of paper and plastic bubble wrap. It was very hot in there today so I packed up all the boxes that I had packed up and headed back to the house. My intention was to eat lunch, relax, unload my van and then go back. But...I was tired and the threat of rain was back. My hubby also doesn't feel well today after a bad blood sugar crash around 4 am this morning. So we decided that we will get back on moving tomorrow. I hope this weather clears out of hear before then so we don't get drenched loading the rest of my stuff up! Evil Eye was not there when I got there. I had a nice conversation with the owner. She is a different person when Evil Eye is not around. I sold an original oil on canvas print of Paris Street I had in my booth which was nice. I'm not sure what else sold. I will get my printout for the month tomorrow. I wanted to take my list and check things off, but my husband said to just get out of there. Our time is limited, so that is what I did. Photo Credit: My own

Sometimes, we want to do everything in a day and we just can't. I hope tomorrow he feels better and you can get it all done and be done with that place!

@kareng I still think you should have sprayed the place with skunk spray...Oh, that would be mean. But she deserved it!

I hope your husband is okay now. You'd need to be really careful when packing up breakable antiques.

@JudyEv Try vicks's vapo rub also! I find that helps me with leg cramps by relaxing the muscles. Sounds weird, but it works!!

Yes, he felt better yesterday, but was worn out when we got home! Luckily, nothing got broken when packing. I have broken stuff unpacking before so always expect the unexpected!! How is Vince doing?

@kareng He has spent most of the day in bed but he's okay. He keeps getting cramp in one shoulder or the other. This was happening before the op but seems to be happening more often than usual. We bought some spray which is supposed to help so I'll rub him with that before he goes to bed and see if it helps.

It's so aggravating when the weather impedes a person's work.

I'm glad you got a lot out of the shop yesterday. I hope all goes well today. I know you'll get it all out, I only hope it goes smoothly, and it doesn't rain.

@kareng I'm glad it didn't take long to pack up. I'm sure there was drama. Now, you're done with it all.

@kareng Too bad about the encounter. I was hoping you'd get out of there without any hassles.

I wish you luck with the move. I know how stressful those can be especially when time isn't on your side.

Hopefully your hubby is getting well. That's a close call to have a blood sugar crash during the move.

Well the blood sugar crash happened in wee hours of the morning, not during. That was why he didn't help me on Thursday!
