Pooped Purveyor - Days 76-78

Pooped.  Exhausted.  Spent. 

This is exactly how I feel after one very LONG weekend of purveying.  Oven woes continue to haunt me.  I was at the kitchen until 4:15 a.m. on Friday night and managed to climb in the bed for about 2 hours sleep before heading to Saturday's market.  Thank goodness for my friend Dennis.  He stayed with me at the kitchen until after 2:00 a.m. Friday night and was at the market bright and early Saturday to assist in cookie sales.  I honestly do not think I could have done it without him. 

I had high expectations for Lake Mary Farmers' Market this weekend.  They were also having their Fall Festival and I expected traffic to be brisk.  Lethargic was more like it.  The first two hours were like a ghost town.  The last two were filled with activity, but few sales.

I am frustrated.  I have to find a way to make this all work.  I want it all to be fun.  Right now...it is anything but.  My almost 53 year old body cannot take this wear and tear.  I feel like I have dragged my family and friends with me into this abyss.  Something has to change.  This upcoming week will be filled with self reflection to develop a plan of attack.

Many hugs,
Kathy
