It's been a long day...

Today has been a really long day at work...as was last week. With the LSS closing, we've been so busy during our 50% close out sales that no one has been able to breath. Our feet and legs hurt from all the standing and running around we've been doing and backs from all the bending and lifting. We were supposed to close tomorrow 3/31, but have decided we'll finish out the week on Friday, 4/3 since the movers aren't coming until Saturday....maybe we'll get rid of more stuff so we don't have alot to pack up Friday night. It sure would be nice if we could sell it all.
Even though alot of us are sad to see the end come, it has been a fun 3 yrs and we all need a rest after this is over. It's so funny, we've done more in sales this week than we have in the last year--we have customers who have never shopped with us and former customers that we haven't seen in a year coming in and it's been crazy. They all say we're so sad to see you close, but we want to say right back---if you had been shopping here with us the last 6 to 12 mos we wouldn't be closing, but of course we can't---or can we?? Trying to be nice but it's hard when you see old customers who haven't shopped with us in a year come in and make comments like that....and complete strangers too. Anyway, it's almost over.
The good thing about this all is my DH and I are planning a road trip after April 10th to visit our son and his family in Tucson, AZ. We haven't seen them in a year and we're ready for this trip..and visit. Also, my DIL and I get to go to CKC Mesa on the 17th...I've never been so I'm looking forward to doing so, even if it is just to go to the Vendor Expo (can't take classes because we'll have our 4 yr old granddaughter with us).
Well, I'm tired so I'm going to end this here..post later.
