After working all week picking, sorting, packing, loading, trucking, off-loading, setting up & selling fruit or vegetables at the farmers market all day, then packing up and going home to go to work, you run yourself ragged doing the country version of 9 to 5, which on market Saturday is 3am to 9pm....resulting in total exhaustion and a Sunday "Market Hangover". The resulting symptoms include: exhaustion, imploding headache, body aches & fatigue, sensitivity to moving about, bright lights and loud talking or noises.
Selling at the farmers market makes me feel like I came home at 2 o'clock from a night of drinking, but never touched a drop- I'm so dog tired beat with this "market hangover"!
