Today was a prepping day. I had to get up around 930am so hubby could take me to Pat's house so I could spend the day helping her finishing to prep all the stuff for the Estate Sale that is going on tomorrow.
I ate breakfast from McD's, an egg mcmuffin and a large coke. Hubby dropped me off and, much to my dismay, Pat didn't really comment on how she liked the signs and all the hard work I had put into the, so I was really disappointed. Oh well, such is like, take joy in a job well done by yourself. So I got dropped off and hubby left for Denver.
I spent the day helping to price a bunch of stuff, put up big signs with prices and no sale signs and private, no entry signs. We aren't going to let just anybody use the bathrooms. I was so tired by the end of the day. On a good note, Pat did find 3 more boxes of material for me! We are so ready for the sale and my phone is all set up to take credit cards and use as a register.
Pat bought lunch from Burger King for us and I got a burger with a coke, no fries. I only ate about a third of the burger. And I did not get mayo on the burger, I hate mayo. The afternoon droned on.
I was petering out when Pat told me she had to get down to the real estate office to sign papers to accept the offer on her house, a full price offer, and she didn't have time to take me home, so I stayed at the house and did what I could, priced what was left and made my master list for the front door for tomorrow. Susan, the lady who was Pat's friend, was over doing clothes all day upstairs and she finally came downstairs and offered me a ride home, thank goodness! Pat finally called me about an hour later and was just getting out of the office and heading back to the house.
I didn't have any keys to get in the house so luckily we had left the back door open for the dogs so I went through the side gate and into the backyard and in from the back door. I thought it would be harder to get into the gate. I have to remember to put the log back against the gate tomorrow.
I have no reservations about doing the sale tomorrow. I am hoping there isn't much theft, especially of the collectible spoons, so easy to slip one in a pocket or purse. All the spoons are in main living room with me so I hope it stays steady doing checkout but people would still think that I was keeping an eye on them. I am hoping people buy so much stuff that by Sunday there will only be a little amount of stuff left over and we don't have to do this again next week.
By the time I got home, I was beat, so I sat upstairs and watched a Medium. I really love that show and a big fan of Patricia Arquette. I watch her new show, CSI: Cyber on Wednesday nights, too.
