Tales from a Shopkeep (part 2)

So, yeah, I cheated. I back-dated that last post and wrote it earlier today (shh, don’t tell) so that chronologically, when I look back on this in three years and think to myself, “Wha…?!” I’ll go, oh right, you were insane that weekend, but wanted to pretend like everything was perfect! Haha! Just kidding. I’ve…

Tales from a Shopkeep

Another week, another blog post. I’ll be honest – I don’t (feel like I) have much to write about this Sunday. Our week went by pretty uneventfully.
