Eventful

I would say that today was one of the most eventful days that I’ve had in a while. Although, it was calm most of the day to be honest.

It all started at about 6:30. I awoke and immediately sorted out the order forms and Betterware catalogs, then proceeded outdoors to deliver them. The weather at the time was amazingly calm and dry, compared to the last 2-3 days when it’s been pouring with rain, with majorly strong winds. I had one person telling me they didn’t want a catalog as I was walking back up his pathway. Just told him “Ok then.”, while thinking to myself “Too bad, I already put one through your mailbox and can’t get it back.”. He clearly wasn’t moving to get the catalog and hand it back, so it really is too bad. Nothing I can do about it without breaking the door down or something. Haha.

Most of the day was rather quiet after that until about 17:00 when I went out to deliver the items I needed to deliver being Tuesday. I didn’t even realise I had as many orders as I had. Was a heavy load to carry around with me. I did ask for help, but as usual, no-one in my family was willing to help me carry the stuff around. So, I had to struggle with this heavy load of items. Luckily, I got rid of most of it, so I didn’t have to carry it down several roads.

I had one old lady ask me for help with assembling the lamp she’d purchased from me. Obviously, I said I would since I’m nice like that and wouldn’t leave someone with problems to assemble something like that. She’s kinda shaky, and the lamp’s shade had glass panels which needed screwing on. I got paid for helping her out, so that was nice too. A little extra money is always good. And no, I didn’t ASK her to pay me for doing it. She gave me the money. I wouldn’t have said anything if she didn’t give me the cash. I’m not greedy. I could use extra money though due to the fact I don’t have a job, and any cash I can get my hands on is useful to me.

Talked to the old lady a bit while I was assembling the lamp. She was telling me about where she’d lived in the past, and about shows she watched on TV. I didn’t really say too much myself because I didn’t really know what to say, and my life isn’t really that interesting as I’m sure a few readers have noticed. I still have a couple of items I need to deliver though. No heavy items though, which is good.

Sadly, it’s pouring with rain again now. Will the wind pick up too? If it does, I really hope I don’t need to do the papers in the morning. I think I would rather just sleep for as long as possible.
