We&#8217;re getting low stock on all of our science kits, so we spent some time yesterday making up chemical bags for chemistry kits. Next up is forensics kits. A multiple order late yesterday took us down to just one of those in stock, so we&#8217;ll get another batch made up. After that, biology kits, which we&#8217;re down to only half a dozen of. And amongst all this, I have to work on taxes.
