Vent: Last Saturday was the busiest day I have had in 3 years
I run a small shop out of my garage in Austin, and Saturday I had 14 orders come in by noon. Three of them were last minute funeral arrangements, and I ran out of white lilies by 11 AM. Had to scramble to a wholesaler across town and paid $60 extra for overnight stock. Has anyone else had a day where you just barely kept your head above water?

Honestly, that sounds like a nightmare, I would have been losing my mind. Did you at least get to take a breather after the rush? I completely get that barely keeping your head above water feeling, last month I had a similar day where I was running between three different suppliers just to get basic stuff like white roses. Tbh, the worst part was when I realized I had overbooked myself and had to call a few people to push back their pickup times. Ngl, I ended up just sitting in my car for ten minutes after it was all over, just staring at the steering wheel. It's wild how those days test everything you've got, but you made it work.
