Stress is a sign of success
The shop has been somewhat quiet since Perry stopped coming in, but there are still many things to do that were easier when I had another person around the shop. I wish he wouldn't have quit, at least not until I'd found another person to replace him. There is inventory, stocking, ordering, just dealing with customers. It's very tiring. I miss Seamus.
I'm thankful that I have Socrates for some semblance of companionship.
