unf. and urg.

Yesterday really took it out of me. I was out in the heat all day. Sales were mediocre. I drank huge amounts of water, ate a popsicle, and was really wiped by the end of the show. tsarina came by to see me and bought a bolo tie--thanks!!

Since I loaded the car out of order (I had kept my bins in over the week and loaded my tent and weights in last), I forgot my chair and my clothespins and my sales book. *sigh* The show provided me a chair, my friend L brought me clothespins, and  I used an old notebook I found in my cash bin as a sales book. The Square attachment worked like a champ just like last time. My friends J & L helped me take down the tent and pack up, which was wonderful. (The World's Best Niece and the OMG!Boyfriend backed out of helping since she was feeling poorly.)
 
Had a lot of lookers and a lot of compliments, but not nearly as many sales as I had hoped for. I think a lot of it had to do with the new venue; normally we're in a neighborhood park and lots of people can just walk to the fair. This time we were in an on-again, off-again farmers market space and the parking situation was pretty dire. Add in a pretty darned hot day...

When I got home I dove into a nice chilly shower and just flopped. Today I saw Thor (lots of fun, be sure to stay past the credits), ran a couple of errands...and flopped. I have not done anything to get my bedroom ready for furniture tomorrow, so I'll have to wing it.

And I finally caved, closed the windows, and turned on the air conditioning for the summer.
