dilemma
Yup, me internet be working again! My great sister-in-law gave me her gateway since they don’t have high speed internet where she’s moved and guess what? Yup, it works perfectly! No more constant disconnecting and the wireless light is actually green, hehe. So I guess what ATT’s gateway “expert” told me was wrong, I was right all along! :P
So anyway, I’ve got this dilemma. Basically.
May 10th is supposed to be my first craft fair of the year but it’s also a day Steve will have to work, the college graduation ceremony for my sister-in-law (60 miles south of me), and the college graduation ceremony for my sister and soon-to-be brother-in-law (40 miles north of me). Someone else invited me to do something, too, but I’ve already, obviously, had to decline that! I was registered for the fair first, I did that probably in January, secondly invited to the first graduation, and thirdly to the second graduation with pizza and cake following. Chances are, the first graduation will take longer than the second and with Steve working, I have neither help with dealing with Elijah during a ceremony nor help with the fair. Since he wouldn’t be there should I do the fair, I also would have to borrow my parents’ trailer and drive that alone (I can’t get everything for an outdoor fair into the Jeep); normally we’d take the Jeep and his pickup and that would be fine. I would also be completely alone because I’m not going to ask Sarah (my usual helper) to miss the first graduation, that of her sister. So I’d also be dealing with Elijah myself and he’s not usually a happy camper at fairs unless he’s being walked around constantly or allowed to run free which can’t happen when I’m by myself.
So, what to do?
Steve acts like I have paid for the fair therefore I should do it. But then again, I have no help. I can drive the trailer, it’s the parking and the backing up and such that I don’t think I can do. I’ve practiced a bit backing up - last year - and I just wasn’t good enough then. Since then we’ve not even had the trailer, it’s currently 40 miles away, so I’d also have to go get it and I don’t have much of any time to practice between now and the 10th.
Maybe I’ll call my friend that does jewelry and if she’s not already registered for the fair, maybe she’ll want to take my spot… I guess they would allow that? Back to square one here, I called and that won’t be allowed because I’m already close to someone who will be selling jewelry and they don’t want to put competitors close together. I understand that, but it means I’m back to no solutions.
Bah.
