Adoring Husband was being taken into the Bay for his marathon IV sedated dental appointment at 6.30am so after a very restless night, I was out of bed at 5.45am making my breakfast and saying goodbye to him.
His volunteer chauffeur arrived early so after they drove off, I brought my breakfast to bed and spent an hour relaxing before starting the day.
I rode my trike to work and arrived with plenty of time to spare.
I opened the shop and checked the mail - which required a trolley to bring 8 parcels back, 7 of which were stock!
During coffee with the girls, I opened all the boxes and made a complete mess. I was very grateful that The Brains Trust offered some of her time to help me check off the invoices.
Co-incidentally, a gentleman walked in asking for a leather wallet so I was able to show him the brand new stock and he purchased one before they hit the shelves.
The Pommy Warrior who has been leaving her preloved clothing at my shop, appeared today with another two bags of clothes, but I turned her away and returned to her, the remaining clothes that hadn’t sold. Then she hung around for an hour bringing me up to date with her life and home renovations.
So much of my time wasted. My own fault.
Suddenly it was 1pm and the cleaner arrived!
The PW finally left and I set up the table for journaling class, priced some new stock and displayed it until the class began. I had to close the shop first and pull in the flags, signs and chairs so we started a little later than usual.
We were very productive in class and got lots of writing done.
At the end I folded up the tables, cleared the stock out of the training room, set out the chairs for meditation, binned all the packaging from the stock, emptied all the bins in the shop, cleared off my desk, grocery shopped for dinner, locked up the shop, packed all my paraphernalia into my trike basket and at 4.40pm began pedalling home.
I was exhausted 😳
I arrived home to find AH sleeping in his chair but doing well after his treatment.
My best option was to cook dinner straight away because if I sat down, I wouldn’t get back up!
After dinner I got the washing off the line, folded it and put it away.
I played Popmaster Quiz.
I watched MAFS.
I came to bed and it’s already 11.30pm.
Must sleep now.
The day has been long and full and busy. Sales were good.
Nite all.
