As the Sarah Turns: A seriously bad day

I woke up late and had a really rough start to my day. I fell back asleep after the alarm went off. I was mostly able to have my display set up by opening time. I wanted to have finished a bag by then but it didn't work out because of rush hour traffic and a few blips on my mapquest directions from the previous day. On the way to the convention this morning, I scratched a part of my car in the parking garage. Not only did that occurrence happen, but I discovered that the front screen of my phone was shattered. It still works, but I will definitely have to get it replaced. I'm so upset to have another random expense come up. Fortunately, I can procrastinate with this one. I have felt exhausted most of the day. Life has been so stressful in the past few days. While I wasn't able to work any nights this week, I was able to pick up a lot of extra work time at my day job in the earlier part of the week. With the ups and downs of it all, my first day at the convention hasn't really been a success. I only made one sale today and I'm pretty upset about it. I wouldn't say it was crowded today. Maybe my location for this type of fall festival is off and Ocean City is mostly a ghost town. I still did assume that it still had some population during the winter season, but there doesn't seem to be much of one. I'm really upset about it. While I still have tomorrow, I was hoping this festival would have been a banking one. I've had festivals where I don't make anything the first day but a lot the next, but it's not always guaranteed to work out. I'm not going to put my hopes up too much tomorrow. If anything, I'll experiment with a different festival location for next year. If I am going to get back into spring and summer crafting, I would have wanted to pick the same place, but the variables with it all are still many. Definitely a busier place in spring and summer and it could be an opposite effect compared with the fall crafts....I really don't know what I'm going to do yet. This convention center has been the best and seriously grand building I have been in yet, but I havn't been making the best of sales.... In the rest of my exhaustion, I had a pretty sleepless night last night. I felt both very lucky and unlucky.... I meant to bring sleeping pills to help incase sleeplessness happened but failed to remember to bring them. I think I will most likely have better rest tonight. My heart breaks back to my luck and unluck. David is still lurking and creeping around. Josh has some kind of revenge and something has gotten into him. Jack and the Copper keep an interest and keep me guessing and tested. I'm not understanding some men in my life. It has been a long time since I've felt like such a man magnet. I know I want attention and love. It's not all love though. I know some men to be mean and sick and I'm not understanding the what or why of the mean and sick. I feel a little embarrassed for myself and I know a few really mean to get the better of me. ....... My room was supposed to come with a Jacuzzi tub, but it came with a regular bath tub. I just finished a lavender salt bubble bath anyway and it was a nice stress relief and cleanse. And although I didn't make a lot of money, I really need the comfort food and a comfort drink. After that, I plan to knit myself to sleep for the remainder of the night.
