Still working on the move. I've worked about 14 days straight at this point. Since I paid off some of my credit cards I'm going to purchase some stock with Besim and have him pay me back within 30 days so we don't get charged interest. It's only a few thousand dollars, but it'll be easy to recoup with the season coming on now. Hopefully if we do that once or twice we can get stock up to a good enough level that he'll be selling enough to raise his purchasing power. The better the store does the better it is for me, because I'll get more hours and I might one day actually get a raise. The more stock he has going into next winter the better off he'll be as well. That's usually the time of year when it's hardest to get things on the shelf.

The new location is amazing. It's got great energy, and the way we arranged things looks really good. People are going to really enjoy coming here, and that'll mean more business. All in all things are looking up. Between my two jobs I'm going to have more work than I can handle this summer. We've been working so late here that I haven't had a chance to do much drawing, just a couple of hours here and there. The moving part is basically done, now it's just unpacking and rearranging things. Once that's more or less done and we get back to normal hours I'll have more time to do artwork.

I'm really enjoying myself. Lots of people I haven't seen in awhile are coming in and chatting. It's been a lot of hard work, but I take pleasure in seeing things come together and knowing I had a huge part in making it happen.
