Mid-Vacation Update
I’m in the middle of this year’s vacation to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. The best friend, Holly, came out with me this time, and she’s been meeting parrots. This picture was taken on my second shift, which was spent at Sinjin’s (the former HQ building) with miss Millie, who’s part of the biggest loser club […]

Moar Vacation Details
Thursday morning I was slated to try on some shirts for a presentation the store was doing at lunch, so I skipped the morning shift. That gave me the opportunity to tour Wild Friends and Parrot Garden. Parrots are still not my thing, but I think I want to take a Wild Friends tour every […]

Back In Kanab
It’s vacation time again! Spent Monday in Vegas at Aria, and got to spend some time with a friend I made on Bitnet. His SO gave us an awesome tour of Encore (he worked on it). It’s got sumptuous furnishings and an orthogonal layout (which is only notable because it’s a casino). Fun words I […]

So Carrie (and Derek) and Andrea and John at work filled the kitchen with red velvet cupcakes for my birthday, and Jen decorated them with my favorite things (including polyhedral dice, the Best Friends logo, and pancakes with syrup). Then Holly and Liz schemed to […]

Thursday Recap
First something I forgot yesterday: Dr. Patty Iampetro came in to check on one of the cats in Benton’s while I was there, so I got to say hi. That’s the entire extent of what I said. She’s my fav from the show. She and John Garcia. But I’m sure she gets that all the […]

Wednesday Recap
Quick recap for yesterday. Fully intended to do it last night but was worn out. Morning spent at Benton’s in Niblet’s room. Brush beds, wipe surfaces, clean litter boxes, sweep, mop, wipe windows, and then dishes while Sasha supervised. I had no idea how many dishes a house like Benton’s can generate, since most of […]

Arrival in Kanab
I was trying to get a different perspective of the sign than last year’s. I ended up getting a lovely picture that highlights the Unimproved Road sign. Most of the pictures are / will be over on the Flickr stream.Today I had the fastest lunch EVER. Stopped at Cracker Barrel, thinking I had plenty of […]

Volunteering Vacation
Just booked my flight and room for the trip to Best Friends at the end of April. Brace yourselves. There will be lots of photos, for those of you who follow on Flickr, and at least a few mushy blog posts. Can’t wait to see how Dilly and Buddy and Blackjack are doing. And, of […]
