the fall business is done
Nov. 5th, 2024 03:57 pmwe did it
I'm very tired despite the fact that this past weekend was very lazy in terms of farm work. we only had two groups (plus one no show group womp womp), and not many people stop by the weekend after halloween. But we do stay open because if we have bad weather earlier in the season, then this weekend is the rescheduling weekend. It was pretty chilly, windy but sunny, so I was constantly putting on hoodies and taking them off. I did build myself a fire at the selling area and warmed myself up. A few people did come by specifically to buy stuff which was good, including a couple of people very interesting in the now $3 carving pumpkins.
since it was a quiet weekend, my dad and I used it as a review, what worked, what didn't work, plans for future years so it was good.
I also picked up my sister on the way and my brother and his fiancee also came in with their dogs so it was a little bit of nice chaos. my sister came in specifically to take photos of my waistcoat and let me tell you, it looks fricken amazing, I can't wait to write a post about it. it's so good looking and the pictures came out so well that I'm considering putting photos of my face on the wider internet which I've done...once maybe? my private instagram doesn't count towards that.
I was able to early vote before I hit the road on friday and thus will not be reading any news or going on social media until at least tomorrow. I'm playing a video game called Traveller's Rest, which is basically a Stardew Valley/Diner Dash mashup where you grow crops, brew drinks, cook food, forage, mine and then serve travellers coming to the inn and I love it so much. It's so good. I bought it a week ago and I've already put 30 hours on it which is a wild amount of playing time for me. I vowed never to buy another early access game but here I am.
I'm casually doing NaClYoHo via copperbadge because the house and my room is now a disaster after two months away every weekend. F is not a spectacular housekeeper even by my low-ish standards (weird thing she does occasionally is clean my toilet. it is technically the guest bathroom since it's on the first floor. but she won't clean anything else in the bathroom, just the toilet. idek). today's cleaning was unpacking my dry food bag and running the dishwasher. tomorrow I'll probably tackle some of my room. I expect these first few days will be handling the biggest messes of travel stuff and then later in the month, I'll go for actual projects. I also want to get cranking on my weaving project, so I can also start thinking about what I'm making for christmas gifts this year.
I'm also going to sleep a lot. it's slouching time
