In case you missed my post from this morning, yesterday was a trying time, and today's prospects looked bleak. My introvert energy reserve had not recharged much overnight, and I had a scheduled in-person outdoor craft event for the first time since COVID lockdowns started back in early 2020.
As I gathered a bit more bark before heading to work, it started to rain.
Swell.
Fortunately, I had already planned to use our two pop-up canopies to shade us from the sun, so it also sheltered us from some sprinkles. 
Epic venison jerky and magic bean juice for the win!
Still, I was starting out stressed from too little recharge time and weather chaos stress and craft setup stress. And one of the little snots who always wants computer time had the nerve to ring our service bell because we were 5 feet from the desk. When I eventually resign from the library, I plan to announce it by smashing that bell flat with a sledgehammer so it can never ring again.
People started arriving early. I had a feeling the day would be busy. It was. I had 8 signups, and double that number of participants.

I had a lot of help from a couple patrons in cleaning up. I needed it, too. SO TIRED! But my weekend begins now. Yay!
Oh, and one last bit of good news: Unemployment Filing Lady got everything to work online with no issues today!
