     Today was a selling day.  This morning hubby got up at 5 am and tried to put the the Estate Sale signs for my friend Pat's sale but it has been raining since yesterday afternoon so he was unsuccessful, the tape wouldn't stick.  So he came back home and slept for an hour before getting up and taking me to Pat's at 815am.  I convinced him to stop at McD's for breakfast since I slept as long as I could and didn't have time to eat some cereal.  So we went to McD's and I got a short stack, of which I only ate 1 one and a half pancakes.

      So we get to Pat's and I had posted a sign in the window yesterday and we had people come over shortly after we opened at 9.  Considering the only advertising we did was on Craigslist for the past two weeks, we got a good steady amount of people.  The only credit card transaction we did was mine for $25.00.  Everybody else paid cash.  We have a minimum of $10 for credit cards.  There are a couple of things I would like to get from her still, a turtle planter and some candy mold sets.  And maybe a cake platter but no, I don't need the cake holder.  But the other two things, I think I need them badly.  I will talk to hubby and see what he thinks.  The candy molds I would like to melt crayons and pour into the molds to make neat shapes of them and put them on Craigslist.

      So we had enough people buying things that we made $300 today!  Yeah!  And I spent the whole day sitting in a straight backed chair.  And my back was spasming by the time I got home so I got undressed and soaked in a hot tub for a while, while I watch How to Train Your Dragon 2.  I didn't finish the whole movie but it was cute.  When I was done, I called hubby because the shop had closed and he told me that our old roommate called and he was going over there.  Then he called me and said they were stopping by the house for him to change so they could go out and put up the signs.  That was almost 3 hours ago and he isn't answering his phone right now so I am a little concerned and peeved.  I hope he is alright and would either call or come home.

      Tomorrow I am going to take a pillow with me to sit with behind my back as I am in pain and the ibuprofen has dulled but not completely taken away my pain.  3 more days of the sale and Pat is already talking about having the sale for another week.  I am hoping we sell so much in the next 3 days that we won't have much stuff left.
