friday observations

this has been the slowest day so far. a bit depressing! at this point of the rain cycle, people are just unhappy and trying to be at home. i am quick sick of it myself. it is reminding me of being in california for the last nasty el nino winter (1997-98) when it rained for 6 months straight.

a retail rule, i'm finding: if it's not for sale, someone wants to buy it. i don't have many 'props' at the shop but people ask about them anyway.

gross out - the cockroach in the bathroom is STILL THERE. it's just hanging out behind a sponge, for days now. every so often he waggles his antennae at me to let me know he's just going to stay there for the winter. don't they eat or anything?

what else. i'm learning that i need to buy in bigger quantities. it's hard to predict a hot seller but if you have an inkling, buy buy buy!

the ebay guy is sending me another credit card terminal. i never could get this one to work. sigh. it's all going on propay for now. good thing i have that set up.

i need to buy a big ol' bottle of Aleve for the shop.
