Sales and visiting and shopping
We’re having a sale over at our store. We’re offering free shipping anywhere on the planet for orders over $100. This sale has done pretty well so far. It brought in 40 orders. This naturally means that I’ve spent a good portion of today packing those orders for shipping. I should probably do a write up of what normal shipping looks like to contrast it with our mass mailing style shipping parties. It will have to wait for another day. The shipping tasks were broken up by a trip out to go visiting teaching. This is a program by our church where women are paired up and assigned to visit other women in the congregation once per month. It functions as a way to increase social bonds within the congregation and to make sure that if someone has an emergency, they have people ready to help. I fully support the program. It gives me a chance to step out of my daily concerns and serve others. Today was just a pleasant visit, rather than service, but it was still nice to have a break. After that was an appointment with a blinds salesman. The boy’s room has been suffering from a bent curtain rod and ratty curtains for years now. It is time to have that fixed. This of course leads back to the sale in the store, since that is where the funds are coming from to pay for the new blinds.
