A Haywire Day!

Well, it has been one of those days. We had things planned out as to what we would do today and it didn't happen that way! Plans were to go to the flea market and clean up/prep for weekend sales. I also wanted to revamp the table I have against the wall with a bookshelf credenza on the back 10" of the table. I wanted to slide it down off of the table with about a 2 ft. hangover. My hubby was coming along to add a leg to that end of the bookshelf for support. This opens up the table for a new display I just got. I am stocking my Farmasi products there under lock and key. I don't want them stuffed into pockets and going bye-bye without someone paying for them. It also stops people from laying the products down in other booths all over the flea market, which can take months to come back to your booth. I have been working on getting the display stocked for the last 2 days. I had it all done and was checking along the way to make sure the lid closed properly and all was well. About half way through I stopped checking. When I was done last night, the lid was stressed. I didn't want to leave it like that so took out a lot of products that were standing up just a tad bit too much. So I had to start re-stocking, tagging and logging into inventory book. I was done and putting the tag on the key to leave at the flea market in the office for them to be able to open the case for customers and looking for the string to hang it on the wall there with the other keys, when the extra key--MY KEY fell out of my hand. I looked and looked for it, but did not find it. So I said, "I'm done." I got ready and we left. We had lunch as planned and then went to Aldi's. I have to get ready for an event tomorrow, so working on that now. I want the car loaded tonight, since I have to be there for 7 am to start setting up. Did your day go as planned?

My day felt long at work, but much nicer since I finished working.

It sounds like a day where things don't go your way. Today was a slow day. I went to somewhere far by walking for my breakfast and my part time helper came in the evening.

My main task yesterday was to make a heap of mini-quiches to take to a wake. I got that done so I was happy.

That never fails to amaze me. How is that something can fall at your feet and yet you can't find it.Somehow it manages to make its way into another room!

I am assuming it is under the sofa/couch. It should not be in another room, else a ghost brought it there!!

My Friday went not exactly as planned, but sort of. I could have skipped the in service, for how it related to my current situation. It might be useful, IF I come back and work with other students, but I was impatient to finish and get to some other places I needed to be. I hope you find your key. That would be very frustrating.

That is my mission for tomorrow--find the key!! I'm hurting and having back spasms right now after all the physical activity. We will see what tomorrow brings!

For my day to go smoothly a lot depends on the maids. One has an eye problem and the other just hurt her leg while getting of her husband's bike. Both are working though.

Yay! I would have really been out of sorts if the packing didn't go right tonight. After the event. I'll see about searching under the couch and chair for my lost key!

It is at the Agriculture Heritage building. The good thing is there is a gardener that come regularly there with all kinds of fruit and vegetables. Last event I did there last September, we had a nice group of vendors and good stuff there. I love the "country" environment over events in big cities. The people are so much nicer!

Yep, it didn't get better either. I dropped my comb in the toilet when getting ready to go. Was combing it over the toilet since so much is falling out. Ooops!
