I'm so tired
I worked Monday (10 hours), Tuesday (11.5 hours), Wednesday (10 hrs), Thursday (11.25 hr), Friday (11.25 hr), Saturday (10.5 hrs) and Sunday (8.5 hrs). That's just so hard on me. Along with the scrapes and bruises from working, my body was so stressed that I got sores in my mouth and two weird rashes (the very itchy one on my finger is, I think, a reoccurrence of a rash I had as a kid) With all that overtime, I'm buying something nice.
But first I'm going to sleep for a few days...
This is a 52 (53?) foot trailer and we filled up the whole thing between Monday and Thursday. For perspective's sake, those pallets (blue/ brown things) come two thirds of the way up the trailer, all the flower bunches are as packed as I could make them, the last half of the walk way is crammed with buckets, the milk crates the other buckets are sitting on go all the way to the door, and I pushed a six wheeler (low cart) stacked with boxes into that empty space before I closed the door. And by Sunday 2pm, the trailer was empty, except for the pallets, milk crates, and trash.

Light bulb moment.... Mothers Day.
You going to have to do this again prepping for Memorial Day too?
That is a whole lot of work. Where is your boss on this? Surely there's someone to help. That's 70 hours in a solid 7 days straight!

She was there working right beside me. I worked her Wednesday shift because otherwise she wouldn't have had a day off (she's been working six day weeks and was going to try a seven, which would have meant 14 in a row..)
Unfortunately, for us, we live in a county with a very small unemployment rate and the starting pay isn't that great, so the store is understaffed, plus someone broke their shoulder so that department couldn't send us anyone, someone quit, and two people missed their shifts with us. The first because her daughter gave birth and she had to watch her older grandkid while her daughter was in the hospital and the other spent their shift in urgent care after a bad reaction to meds. All out of our hands.
Memorial day will be super easy in comparison.
