7 am
Day after
Memorial Day. What a huge relief that the fair is all OVER. Even though it was
cold and rainy and no one came. Well not no one, but it was slow and worst of
all – I sold exactly one bunny and that for half price for a 4H camp. So,
really the worst part: today and tomorrow I must take care of a big bunch of
the oldest babes. Because Wednesday we leave for Schenectady. Bad move going on
a tip right after the fair. I am way majorly overwhelmed. There is so damn much
to do to put stuff away, now I must deal with the bunnies.
Yesterday
we started out at the farm. K came to the fairgrounds to pick me up, and we
drove there, but he arrived with a headache coming on. So I drove, and we
pretty much went to bed when we arrived – stopped to say hello to family who
were eating supper. We had originally thought to hike on the AT. But bc G took
the other car, we only had one, so we could not spot cars. So then we decided
it would be good to bike on the bike trail in Adams. But I guess putting the
bikes on the car was too much with the headache and all, so at that point we
were back to hiking. But then somehow we decided we should just go home and
bike the bike trail here. I had to stay long enough to visit some with Mom, And
she did not get up for ages. So we hung around a bit, she finally got up and I cooked
her an egg, then we left. By then the headache was coming back, so by the time
we got home around 11:30 K went back to bed. So I decompressed a little, wrote
up some fair notes, and then, rather than clean the fridge which I was afraid
would disturb him, I started in on the garage. The one good note of the day: I LOVE
Freecycle!!! I put together a box of automotive stuff that we will never use,
put it on freecycle, and some one came (walked over from Boulders) and picked
it up! YES! I will be doing more of this…..
So that
was yesterday. I was busy and kind of frantic and yet as usual did not seem to
get that much accomplished. Story of my life. One thing I did was try to write
up what I did all the three days I was at the fair (including Friday). And I could
hardly remember what I did. And it did not seem like I actually did much, yet I
was running around all three days. I guess a lot of what I did was to kind of
case the joint, walk here and there and just check in with people throughout
the day. So I did a lot of talking. Is that useful/necessary? I do not know. If
I am not doing it next year will it make any difference at all? I also do not
know. Not sure what I’ll do next year. To be honest part of me did not want to be there this year. Once there
it was ok, I do like that role of checking in with everyone. Kind of acting
like a big boss I guess. Saddest part (well besides that no bunnies were sold)
was when I realized my mp3 would not play the music I attempted to put on it. I
was listening to Pittbull and having a grand time, then it stopped and nothing
else would play. Oh well. I did manage to get the librevox book back on, I will
have to try again with the music. Maybe once I am done with the book so I don’t
lose it again.
But really,
today is mainly about doing bunnies. Like as in first thing will be to dig a
big hole. Probably two holes. G is heading to BJ’s. Once she gets back I must
drive her to work, and be back here by 9 to be here when Stan the Fixit Man
arrives to do the basement – YAY! So that will also happen. And I need to move fair
stuff to the other house garage. But first I have to get the rest of it from S –
she took some home. And somehow I must get a few things that I left in
Cummington – the old wheel and a sign board. Maybe I will just wait until I am
leaving tomorrow to head to Springfield to pick up K. And I also must pack for
the trip. Ugh.
OK I guess I’d better get moving……
