The charity garage sale for the Rainbow Society happened on the weekend, and it was a big success, and a big flop all at once!

So here is how I spent the last three days, for everyone who was wondering why I wasn't online.

Friday I had literally three hours to work, between 12 and 3, and so I worked hard, and then skipped off with the kids to a local bookstore that had 60 boxes of books for the garage sale.

I loaded them up in my van and then stole one of their employees to help me unload them at the store.

My husband owns a comic, toy, gaming, and anime store. It's all collectibles and cool stuff.

That took 2 loads.

Then I drove home and waited for volunteers to show up. Three vehicles came, 2 vans and a car. We loaded up all 4 vehicles once, and only managed to get half the stuff from my house to the store.

We loaded the store up, quite literally removing any little space we had to move in the store in the first place.

I'm sure the fire marshall would have had a heart attack.

We did load 2, and left 2 of the vans loaded, so we could drop them off at the parking lot in the morning.

4 hours of sleep later . . .

The 2 vans showed up, and then a car, and then an SUV . . . and we got all the stuff from the store to the parking lot in a couple of hours, and then began the big set up for it. So many boxes, so much stuff . . . . omg omg omg.

Somehow we managed to set up a tent too, and a table, and got drinks, and sold those too . . .

And then halfway through the day I drained the battery in my van and needed to call for a boost.

Brilliant eh?

We sold a lot though, almost all our big stuff went, and a ton of little stuff that was just worthless to begin with.

It was a success!

That and meeting the volunteer coordinator from the Rainbow Society was amazing too. I'm excited to be collaborating with them this year for comic con.

The end of the day was the worst though, nobody came back to help us tear down! So at the end of the day we had MY VAN . . . . and that was it. A car came back and did 2 loads to the sally ann, and then the SUV came and helped, but they were late . . . and so it took us 4 hours to tear down this poor garage sale.

I had to take 3 trips to the sally ann with stuff . . .and I had to watch the people picking it up for free and the bums stealing the cans of spray paint for sniffing . . .

So on Sunday I was a mess and a half.

I didn't hurt, but I felt like rubber and I was very tired.

I always do this, I set myself up to do all this physical manual labor, which I don't usually do, and then when it's over, I crash. The crash wasn't too bad this time.

What was bad was having my abilities on auto pilot and not being able to sleep it off. Everytime I closed my eyes I would randomly see someone, or hear someone, or see something happening, and then it became this cacophonic wave of nonsense, and it kept me up.

I couldn't read like that, sorry but I'm not going to submit my clients to me feeling delirious and half asleep and drained. Not fun for anyone, though I'm sure the perceptions would have been really strong, I just didn't want to hurt myself.

So I am back today and feeling only a little better. My hubby left for San Diego with the guys for a week and so I'm alone until Sunday.

I miss him already.

Namaste,
