feeling good as hell.

Moonstones are beautiful, the stories and meanings behind them are fascinating. Oh yes birthstones, I’m a gemini and I believe one of mine is a pearl. I believe there are more than one though if I understand it correctly. 

Since he’s my eyes I can’t. He goes were I go. 

Ah, that wouldn’t be a pet for me. I’d be too scared that I’d step on them or hurt them in another way. I think Dae would love one though. Oh, yeah, better to keep her safe inside, don’t want it to end up being chased by cats or dogs. I swear Bart, my dog, would never trouble her, he’s a good boy. 

Oh really? That is very interesting to hear, considering so many people just rave about diamonds. What is the best in your opinion? 

Why’s that? 

It is amazing how much of a difference that makes for customers too. When they can trust your word that builds such a wonderful relationship. You will see me there! I may need some guidance though, I am quite inexperienced when it comes to jewelry. 

Oh goodness now I suppose that wouldn’t be as easy. Maybe they would know someone though? That must be such a fun pet to have though, they are adorable animals. 

That’s still nothing to sneeze at! Counting the till was always nerve-wracking for me, but I wasn’t ever a math genius or anything anyway. I’m — wait, fuck, gotta convert to metric. Uh… 163 cm? I think. An overly-enthusiastic terrier could probably knock me over, 😂

Here I was thinking tree skinks are some kind of chipmunk and instead I see these green lizards in my Google images! You been that way since forever or that something that changed over time?

I’ve always wanted a pet but never had the time to care for one. Now I’ve got all the time in the world and don’t know where to start. Dog? Cat? Rabbit? Ferret? Now you’ve got sugar glider in my head, too.

Ah, yes, I have. Bigger animals tend to make me nervous, as well as anything with significant teeth. 

Remind me to not let Faith see this conversation… She’ll use it to convince me we should get another puppy. ‘See dad,  I’m not making it up; It’s a  real thing - pets get lonely too. So it’s way way better to get another dog.

Uhm, you’re the first one I talk to that has a sugar glider so they’re probably very rare to have as a pet. That would make it easier to find that number though. 

We have a ton of pets, I’m not even sure what all we have but a sugar glider, no. Is she easy to keep? Do you take her outside at times? 

I can understand how frustrating that is, people should be able to respect boundaries. But maybe they haven’t learned how important that is before. So maybe…violence isn’t the best thing to start with.

Oh my gosh I don’t think that is ever a bad idea. I don’t know how anyone can walk in and not want to come out with multiple pets. 

I believe there is a shelter around here that you could go to too! 

Oy, I’ve worked retail though, and it sucks, there’s no “simply a cashier” about it. And there’s not a thing wrong with appreciating quality, either. That’s a good point, actually – I’m not a large person myself, there’s probably a LOT of dogs that are bigger than me, and they’d probably make me nervous to get too close, too.

My job’s still much less stressful than handling clients. I just make sure I get the money correct.

Oh, it’s not a very complicated business — I’m a photographer, so mostly I just have to keep track of appointments and not throw my camera at difficult clients, no matter how much I might want to on occasion. It’s not, like, keeping another living creature alive and healthy. I don’t hate snakes and spiders, but I think I’d do better with something I could cuddle, you know?

That all sounds like a lot of information, and I don’t even own a cat or a dog, mostly because I am only barely a successful adult. I manage to feed myself and run a business, it’d probably be a bad idea to try to add a poor defenseless animal to the equation, at this point.

That is very admirable. It is extra work, but it is all work that ends up being worth it. I am very sure that the customers really appreciate all of that extra time it takes. I’ll have to stop by soon, I can’t remember the last time I got myself some jewelry.
