The days have flown by. It’s already Friday, the end of the week. I imagine we’re all relaxing at home right now. Well, I’m here again (Yu) just with an update post on our fair today and R&S updates.
Care for Dogs
The day began with my voice blaring from the P.A system. It is an uncanny feeling, really, to hear yourself talking in a relatively quiet room, and hear your voice again, much louder, from an outside source. The announcement was to thank everyone who bought something for Care for Dogs yesterday, and that they are really helping these dogs. I did remind them, however, that the best way to help was to adopt one of these dogs and give them a warm loving home.
Lunchtime I met with Ally once again to get more things to sell, and she came with a huge bag of stuffed animals — the ones we ran out of yesterday — that I kept stock of in the office. They were adorable as always, and I think I must’ve been hallucinating from my rather small lunch (a box of guava) but I saw sadness in their eyes. Yes, I must’ve been hallucinating! Dogs and their eyes.. hmm.
Unfortunately today, even though we set up our ‘booth’ right in the middle of the hall, I think most people had already had their share of buying the little doll pups, and we didn’t get as many people. Some asked if there would still be a sale on Tuesday — as Monday is a holiday — and I could only give an unsteady reply. However, since the merchandise won’t be going anywhere, I’m sure we’ll be able to get a little more out of them.
Talked to Mr. Troy, and after discovering that next week would only have three days, we rescheduled the shelter visit for the week after. Thank you as always to Fun, Betty, Jackie and Eve for helping out with the booth (if I didn’t mention someone I’m sorry), and all the kind people who donated something for our cause.
Recycling
Mr. M, our regular recycling guy, came today to pick up the plastic bottles and paper, and we got 92 baht this week. I feel rather bad that I couldn’t help him put the plastic bins back, for really, it isn’t his job, but hopefully next week we’ll do better.
Canvas Bags
Wanted to head to Concept (the design shop that is doing our bags) today after sending Betty home but my mom was too busy to go. Hopefully I’ll head there this Saturday to pick up the sample (I really hope it’s there waiting for me!) and get our design on file to put up here.
That’s all for R&S updates today. Website still under construction, so I’m writing posts to nobody at the moment, really. Next week I hope we can discuss World Watershed Day, Movie Night, and the planned social.
