tfw the first thing you do when you log in on an established character is check to see if it's still in a guild >_____>

today has been composed almost entirely of listless flopping around. I got the one thing I needed to do today done (call in sick from volunteering tomorrow), then somehow managed to get a couple of bonus things done (put a load of laundry on to wash, then dry, and finish filling the dishwasher and get that going) along with the usual daily needs of cat and self feeding.

I'm feeling a little better--like, 20% improvement. not a lot, but right now it feels *HUGE*. :P

okay, cats are fed, tea has been drunk, I feel if anything worse than I did when I woke up. so: time for a hit of NyQuil and heading back to bed. u__________u

yeah I has the head cold weeee. *sad snurfling* /tea/

okay I am feeling pretty miserable, I think I am coming down with a head cold. here's hoping it's mild and over quickly! and with that, I'm heading off to bed. *sneeze* gnight awrrooo <3 dream well and wake healthy!

oh and I *really* need a Personal Assistant Kobold. :| like really, seriously.

OH AND in like the last 45 minutes of my shift I was opening the front door of the office and managed to jam a splinter INTO THE CORNER OF MY PINKIE NAIL, like right *under* the nail. the pain from it radiated all the way down my pinkie to my hand. I only just now dug it out.

and ended my volunteer day with setting up a "foraging pool" for the outdoor pigeons, a shallow wading pool with a bunch of branches and leaves and debris and a cup of pigeon feed scattered in it. the three pigeons seemed unimpressed, but they had a full tray of feed in their enclosure.

then came home, showered, fell into bed, and napped for three hours. and am now sneezing and hoping I'm not coming down with a cold. :P

today we got chores *assigned* to us, to break us out of our "usual chore" ruts, so instead of cleaning the ward I did the outside cleaning pad, and managed *not* to get soaked from the knees down, because there were only two things that needed cleaning. :P then I transferred a pigeon from the ward to an outdoor enclosure and set up two outdoor enclosures for crows, who I assume were transferred after our morning volunteer shift ended.

meat! this is a very small pond turtle, she ignored all the vegetable, fish, and insect offerings and went straight for the rat, quail, and chicken bits. which is uuuuunuusuaal?? and raises the question of how she's going to eat "in the wild"--are we going to start getting calls about her raiding somebody's chicken coop? *imagines tiny little turtle dragging a live chicken by the leg, the chicken's mostly "bwuhk?"*

we have about 30 "patients" total; the usual raccoon kids, bear cubs, and bobkittens, and the seasonal assortment of gulls, owls, crows, pigeons, and sparrows. and one turtle--heh, they were having trouble with the turtle, she's been here for months (she's a locally endangered species and part of a tracking experiment, it's complicated) and she recently started refusing food. a couple days ago they offered her a buffet of food items, and found out what she *will* eat--
