Well, I managed to blog for 10 days in a row before falling off the blogging bandwagon. Considering my tendency to procrastinate I'm not at all surprised. You see, because I procrastinated on getting ready for my Story Time Felt booth at today's Annual IRA Book Fair, I had no energy for blogging these past two days. Unfortunately, breaking my blogging spree was hardly worth it. Nor were the late nights working, cutting felts, organizing, stressing, etc. For all my hard labor I sold only two items for a profit of $17. Probably works out to about $0.50/hr when you think of all the hours I put in. Sigh. I don't handle disappointments very well, To top it all off, the added stress put more stress on my knee so I ended up hobbling around in pain all day at the fair. I tried to smile for customers and be pleasant but I'm sure a wince crossed my face more than once today. I came home, took an anti-inflamatory and crashed on the couch for the rest of the afternoon. Thankfully, Les had a slightly better day. All the driving school students showed up, though again we had only one new student in class. Our classes have been really dead in our main office and that is worrisome. I keep telling myself, it is a sign of the times, relax. It will get better. Les did the grocery shopping I wasn't able to do with my bum knee and we had a nice relaxing dinner. But I still find myself depressed. I simply love the felts and wish others could see how wonderful it is. Now that I have it all bagged up and labeled I might as well take my traveling show to all the preschools and try to drum up business that way. I think that is the real ticket with this stuff. All the ECE students that stopped by my booth loved the stuff, but they are poor students who are just entering the field with no money for inventory. It is the actual directors that I need to get interested. Surprisingly not one daycare or preschool director came to my booth today. If I had a preschool I would have been at the IRA book fair today, looking for deals. Here's to a better week ahead! |
