Life In The Big Apple

A busy day at Tasty treats

Lena's: POV
It's a busy day at Tasty treats customers have been coming in left and right. Due to the holidays people have ordering cakes pies and so on, we stayed open longer. Business has never been this busy ever. I'm thankful for my employees for stepping up staying later than normal. Things are beginning to wind down, l haven't stopped to take a break all day. Mom came in and helped out, the lines were longer, everyone wanted my famous strawberry banana cheesecake banana pudding and banana bread. It's a good thing I came in at 6am and prepared everything in advance. I haven't spoken to Stef since this morning
I was able to drop Ariana off at ballet class this morning
Mom went to the bank and got some change, she kept her word by not inferring. Even though I know she wanted to say something, l was finishing up with my last customer for the Day. Asia put the closed sign up on the day
Emory was sweeping the floors, Asia wiped down all the tables. I was in my office counting all money that we made today, we made over fifteen hundred dollars in sales
I wrote everything down in my book. Stef's usually here to do the books, l put all the receipts in the gray pouch
On my way home l have to drop off the money in the night box at the bank. Mom's gonna be with me when I go
I bag up the cash in the zip lock bag. I just got done filling out the deposit slip, Ariana's winter recital is coming up soon. They have been practicing a lot lately, my mother is taking Frankie to see the nutcracker next Friday and Ariana's performance is on thirty of December. My babies is the second lend, those private lessons surely paid off
My parents leave for their Cruise after Christmas
Ariana and I put up the tree and decorations the other day
My dad bought over some chop wood a few days ago
The weather man said we might get some snow in the forecast. San Francisco rarely gotten any bad weather
When we lived there, all we ever got was rain and chilly weather. I have no regrets moving to Manhattan New York, l looked out the window in my office and see the clouds look so grey. I gathered all of my belongings so l could swing by the bank on the way to drop my mother off at home, l put the zip lock bag down in my bag
Hopefully the bank is still open. I locked up my office and walk towards the kitchen and turned off the lights
I head to the front where I see my employees, my mom and Ariana. Emory and Asia thank you so much for staying and helping me out. Lena said to both girls
Do you guys clock out already, Lena asks. Yes Ms. Lena
Asia replies. Good let's get out here, l think a storm is coming this way. I don't want either of you to caught in this nasty weather, Emory and Asia grabbed there things
Dana Ariana with her jacket on. Lena shuts off the rest of the lights, everyone is already outside. Lena turns on the alarm. She locks up the bakery, and head to her car
She unlocks the doors so her mom can could Ariana in her car seat, while she gets in on the drivers side of the vehicle
Lena fastens herself in. She then starts up the engine
Dana gets in the car, and buckles up her seat belt
Lena pulls off from the parking space. Lena are you and Ariana gonna be okay with this Storm coming, Dana asked her daughter. Mother why wouldn't I be
Just because Stef and Frankie are out town Lena turns at the next light. She pulls up to the bank drive thru window
Lena reaches in her bag and takes out the zip lock bag and hands to the teller, with the deposit slip inside. She just waiting on her receipt, from the woman. She's handing her receipt. She thanks the lady and drives off
