Day 2006 The Future is Now
I'm spending the evening going through all my perfume imps and sniffies with six wishlists in hand. After I have done that (tonight and tomorrow), I'll look and see what I can decant for people and do a spot (large spot!) of decanting on Wednesday. Thursday I should be able to package everything up to mail out Friday. That's the plan anyway...
I also need to make up a non-perfume fairy package- possibly Thursday or Friday. These are going to be some awesome fairy packages, some of them!
Two things trouble me. One, I don't have but six of the nine wishlists I should and two- the best laid plans of wrens and all that.
Right now I'm being very very sleepy and I don't know why. I worked over in floral today- I didn't get everything done but I didn't expect to. Cheryl kindly left me more to do than I could possibly get done every day I'll be over there.
Ok, that last might need some explaining. I don't work floral very often except at holidays and I hate having to be at work but having nothing to do. I don't know the department well enough to find things to do if I run out. If Cheryl is there, I can ask for something else to do but when she is on vacation- I'm a bit at loose ends. The last couple of times she had me fill in for her while she was gone, I ran out of things to do. The last time, in sheer desperation, I tidied the entire department. It is possible that she was trying to avoid a repeat of that as well as keep me from being all upset. She did tell me that there was more on the list than I could possibly do and don't worry about not finishing it- don't even try.
So I didn't. I did what I had to do back in produce and then went up front and cleaned the cut case, pulled some roses that were looking ratty, watered everything in sight (this was one of the things that really did have to get done) and took down all the 4th of July decorations. And reworked the plants and arrangements that had not sold into daily things (Get Well, Birthday, Sympathy, General Summer).
So not too much- but I am very very sleepy and I don't know why. It doesn't help that I was sitting at the kitchen table to work on fairy packages and Anna-kitten stole my seat when I got up for more coffee. I'll make her get up and get back to work momentarily.
