I've had a good week of workdays. Books were made (they'll be listed online on Monday after the pop-up shop). Inventory was sorted & counted. Bread was baked. Blog posts were written. Signs were made. Holiday decorations were hung. Holiday cards were ordered. Envelopes were addressed. Calendar pages were flipped. And during all that, I…
