Week One started off on the right foot with Monday scoring 1 can at work and 1 penny at the Stop N Rob in the evening. By the time Friday came around that week I had collected another 7 cans but the big deposit came near the end of that work day. I had a customer who was running very late but needed our product for a weekend job. I stayed an hour past closing to accommodate him and was rewarded with a $25.00 tip. I tried to decline it as I was on the clock anyway but he insisted, so "ChaChing", that puts RDF over the $100 mark for the first time since the blog's inception last September. Add 1 more can to mix as well. Last Saturday saw Bella and I score .11 cents and a laser tag game token during our walk down at the park. Later in the day while doing some shopping at Stop N Rob I picked up .12 cents at the register and 1 really beat up penny in the parking lot to finish the week off.
Week Two started off on the left foot with the cold and cloudy weather returning to the area causing me to not even get out of the house on Sunday which means that nada was contributed to the fund. The cold weather continued through the early part of the week and so did the drought, by the time Wednesday night came rolling around I had only collected a meager 2 cans. Thursday saw a ray of sunshine though as I found 2 dimes at the vending machine and Friday morning I found a penny in the parking lot on the way into work but that turned out to be a Canadian. Today was bit better as I managed to find .03 cents and a soda bottle down the park while taking Bella for her walk. I cashed in the cans & bottles today and received $12.80 plus a penny at the register as I was cashing out. Later I found a dime at a nursery while cashing out which brings this week to an end. Until next time, "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known."
