The bookstore
Business picked up a tad today, but we're still averaging about $30/day during the 5 days a week we're open right now. This is not sustainable. If it's a usual year, after July 4 we'll start to get much more business, but last year that didn't happen; even through summer, fall, and Christmas we did less than half our usual business.
I'm now 3 months behind on the rent. I will start posting some of our more interesting books here again; some are not terribly expensive but kind of cool, some more expensive (not over $50) and tres cool. Hopefully they'll catch someone's eye.
I'll also repost my amigurumi cats so you can see the new colors: those can be ordered directly via here or from the Etsy store (again, I'll post links along with the photos).
A girl's gotta make a living. Right now I'm not. We are down to a box of spaghetti and not even a jar of sauce. I couldn't buy bread today because I had to pay the Internet and phone bill for the store (last month's was overdue). I hate whining, but I'm worried and tired and my back is killing me (and I can't go to the doctor for my spine because ... copay fees).
Every little bit will help right now. Oh, and a reminder to everyone here: You can help with nicklels and dimes by NOT buying through Amazon and instead ordering (free shipping!) your new books through my bookstore's website. All books in print, CDs, DVDs, everything you'd find otherwise is there.
