Dopey Challenge Training - Week 21 Sewing Selling Saving



The week started with the first snow of the season this meant my first run will be inside. This week is also the week I do my largest and longest craft fair of the year. It’s a three day event with the day before used for setup. This means all my training runs have to be done early and all three days in a row because once Thursday arrives I am MIA for Training. 


 

My house is also a complete mess which really bothers me, but I’m trying to put up some of my holiday decorations. 

 



Why I feel this needs to be done on the busiest week of the year is a mystery. I did manage to put my Christmas tree up, although it’s not decorated yet. I also got some laundry done. I’m working on our Thanksgiving menu but I’m starting to feel a little overwhelmed with so much to do.

 

The dogs are loving the Snow, of course they’re Huskies. They live for this time of year. They would stay out all night if I let them. 

 



At the end of this week all my craft fairs are done for the year! This weekend I sold almost all of my inventory, which I’m supposed to be happy about, but I worked so hard sewing all through the shut down during COVID to build up an enormous supply that the thought of starting from square one is exhausting. But I have to do it, because the payoff is great. 

 



These craft shows pay for all my Disney running trips (race registration, hotel, park tickets, flight and food). So I’m going to take a month off and then start the sewing again. I am setting some of the profits aside for a Black Friday purchase I’ve been wanting for a few years, an indoor exercise bike.

 

I’m feeling much more pain in my right leg and now my left foot is hurting, I think from being on my feet for the past two weekends. I’m hoping I can get my bike purchased and delivered soon after Thanksgiving, because I want to replace some of those training runs for biking in the hopes of healing before Dopey! Wish me luck!
