Settling back into normal.

It's been a pretty quiet week around here.  Now that the school rush is over, work is pretty relaxed.  I wouldn't like it like this all the time, because it would be a little boring, but after a month of craziness it's nice for us all to catch our breath a bit and get the store cleaned and up to snuff.  We literally didn't have time to restock, straighten shelves or even sweep the floor, but today all those things got done.  Plus, we're getting rid of textbooks that we didn't sell, and clearing off shelves and condensing them is a very satisfying feeling.  We'll start stocking graduation stuff next month, check in return textbook in December, then  start all over again in January with a new semester.  The circle of university life.

It's starting to feel a bit like fall now.  It was cold and rainy today and our main sales at work were rain ponchos, umbrellas, windbreakers and cold medicine.  It's all downhill from here.

Hubs was working in Hawaii the beginning of the week and brought a gecko home in his suitcase.  They run around wild down there and are as common in a house as a housefly.  So, now we've got a gecko of our own running around in the kitchen.  It's been hiding under the stove but comes out occasionally to see what's going on in the rest of the house.  Oh well, at least it's not a dog.
