message 23: by Baroness Blue (new)

Baroness Blue | 23 comments I'm very sorry that I'm behind on this. Work hours were all over the place this week-- a lovely combination of over-nights, early mornings and late nights so I'm just spent mentally and physically. This is our state's tax-free shopping weekend, too and it was like a mini Black Friday yesterday and Friday in our store (I'm in retail). I have today off, thankfully!!! I will work on adding these to our spreadsheet later. I need coffee, breakfast and some fun time with the kid. Next week is Inventory but at least my hours are pretty consistent. Good grief.
