March 15th

I got up and my legs were pretty tired this morning from the long run yesterday. I took it really easy today. I got to work without incident and spent the day working on the Ireland database. I spent most of the morning going through and calling a bunch of retailers of organic cotton that I had found or that had been given to me. That was moderately successful. I got a few to say that they would register on the database, but most of the companies that I contacted no longer stocked any organic cotton products. So, I whole lot of nothing to begin with. After I got some lunch, I worked the entire afternoon on trying to go and find more companies that sold organic cotton. We have a database of all the wholesale companies that the retailers we have use, so I went through each and everyone of those to try and find some companies in Ireland. That was fairly unsuccessful. We have something like 200 suppliers registered, but I think I only came away with about ten more shops I can look into. I even spent some time on Google seeing what I could turn up and it was not a lot. When I was getting ready to leave, Damien said that they were doing some cleaning tomorrow and wasn’t sure if I should come in or not. That should be interesting.

I got back and proceeded to make myself some dinner. I took some chicken and sautéed that with some garlic and onions and then mixed it with pasta and sauce. I have to say it turned out pretty good. I was impressed with myself at least. I really didn’t have much to do this particular night so I just sort of sat around. The movie Goodfellas was on and I had never seen that before. Bit bloody, but not bad.
