Hello…is this thing on?

garage salecraft tablesYikes! I’m just starting to crawl back to the functional world. Let me explain.

Towards the end of the day Thursday….the first day of the neighbors garage sale…I began to lose my voice. Ok, that wasn’t so bad…a bit of comic relief for the others.

By the end of our mediocre sale at noon on Saturday, I was starting to think that I wasn’t just dealing with laryngitis but a cold virus instead.

Unfortunately, I was right. A summer cold!! They are the worst.  I’ve been sleeping in the recliner to help with the coughing.  I’d been waiting it out, thinking I’d get better until yesterday I couldn’t take it anymore.  I went to the doctor and I have an ear infection. Thank goodness for antibiotics even though I’m not a fan of taking them. I’m already starting to feel slightly better. Hey, I can actually sit in front of the computer.

I figured I’d show you my little setup of crafts at the sale. However, I didn’t sell much. It was more of a “guys” sale with lots of tools and greasy things. Oh well. Live and learn.

    Glad you are feeling better. Garage sales are always a ” crap shoot” you never know what folks are wanting to spend money on and, usually, they just want it cheap….not to mention lots of work. Looks like you had a nice assortment of the things you created just not the right audience.

    I’m so, so sorry to read about your ear infection. What a sorry way to spend your time with a garage sale. Looks like you had a LOT of problems going on, including losing your voice. You more than likely had a fever, too.

    It’s too bad you didn’t have a good sale, especially since you spent so much time getting ready for it. Now you have a house to put back together, too.

    On a bright note, I like how you set your table up. It was good practice for when you decide to sell your wares at some local events later this year.

    Your lovely creations would do better at an Art/Craft show me thinks…yard sales always bring out the cheap cheap in people from what I can tell…

    bummer about getting sick
    but good thing you turned yourself in
    and thank goodness for meds when we really need them (me not such a fan of taking lots of stuff either)

    next time you feel the beginnings of any ear discomfort you may want to try something I found out about after our boys were all grown up…
    Garlic Oil warmed a little bit and dropped into both ears then add some cotton…
    amazed me how it took care of what I had …
    not to say that is what you needed this time around …
    just thought I’d share as it might be something you’d like to investigate if you haven’t already
    (are you laughing yet about smelling like garlic!)

    I’ve had my cough for a week now and am thoroughly fed up with it! Wish I had a loung chair, then maybe I could get some sleep…
