"Stockholm's cold, but I've been told, I was born to endure this kind of weather"

Possibly overdid it today.

Started my new shift at Humane society, which will be Tuesday 1-3, sorting donations. Really liked the woman doing orientation, and enjoyed the shift. She explained things well and was friendly. She told me a little about her former job (before she retired) which was doing labor audits, investigating things like overtime and child labor violations.

I went to the vet to pick up more Apoquel for Abbie (this helps her allergies).
Next I stopped at the post office and waited in line about 20 minutes to mail a couple of things.

I forgot about swimming until I got home, and decided I would lay down for a few minutes before hand. Well, I fell right asleep and slept right through swim class. I'd set an alarm but turned it off. Abbie woke me up to go out a while later, at which point I watched a little TV and changed into my PJs.

Even after being sick for years, it's very difficult to gauge my energy. I'm hoping by writing down my activities I'll get a better idea.

It is very cold today; I'm grateful for central heating and indoor plumbing and warm wool clothes. I think about our ancestors surviving this weather (and worse) and I think about homeless people.

i wish we could count on consistent energy levels.

i keep within my limits all the time but that means I depend on other people to do most of the things you do in your life.

AT the DCHS, are you sorting the financial donations that come in the mail or the mammalian donations that come in the front door?

It's non-monetary donations: things like pet food, toys, collars, blankets, newspapers (used to line cages), etc. Some stuff gets put into a donation "store" where the public can take things and pay what they want. Some things get tossed in the trash. Many things get put in various places in the building.
