I worked today, and it decided to storm. There’s nothing like sitting in the break room watching Transformers on tv only to have the power randomly cut off. Twice. Because the lights coming back on is a way for the power and weather to tease you. Thankfully it wasn’t off long. But spending the rest of my break staring at a blue screen saying “can not find signal” was not very exciting :P

The weather also decided to knock out the power later on, but this time I was actually on the sales floor. I left the flashlight I had in the cart (I was zoning at the time) and was in another section to grab something and of course the power went out. I just stood there, as still as possible, waiting for it to come back on. Once it did I sprinted to my cart and grabbed the flash light and carried it with me for about an hour until the storm passed ‘Cos you know, the power doesn’t go out when you have a flash light near you it’s only when you don’t.

Now the power going off at work I don’t mind, hey I’m getting paid to fiddle with a flash light and run around in the dark until the back up generators kick on. Works for me! But when I’m at home I get soooo bored. Especially if it’s pitch black and I have to use my flashlight like it’s part of me. What do you do when you’re home and the power goes out? I usually watch a movie on my portable dvd player or laptop if they have enough power in them, if not I draw, clean, organize random things, or read. Tomorrow I am seeing Toy Story 3, expect a review of it tomorrow

Today was the volunteering event at the local Animal Shelter (done through my job) and it was fun and interesting There were about 20+ of us and they only expected about 5-10, so they had to find lots for us to do One girl I work with and I folded a bunch of towels and blankets but while we waited for the ones in the dryer to dry we wandered around. We found the cages with soooo many cute puppies and dogs, one of which I wanted to steal. He was a very calm and sweet little puppy and I wanted to steal him

At one point we were looking through a door with a glass window in it and one of the vet techs told us we could go in to watch, oh boy. Turns out one of the vet techs was neutering a kitty. She was explaining everything as she did and we both had a shocked look on our face since we didn’t know that was what we’d be walking in to It was interesting to see though to say the least haha.

After being there for about 2 hours we went to the local park to grill yummy burgers and hot dogs and just relax and have fun. Played some frisbee, attempted to play badminton, and some weird game involving a ball and a plastic funnel looking throwing thing … I forget the name of it. Overall I had a nice day Oh how I wish I could have adopted all of those pets there! They said 11,000+ come in the shelter a year and only 9,000 or so find a home. So sad.

First off, thanks for the comments on the vlog :D! If I get a chance I may do another one tomorrow, I planned on it today but I got lazy haha.

Tomorrow from 9-11 I am volunteering (through my job) at a local animal shelter, I’m excited! Usually I don’t get a chance to participate in these events and volunteer things through work due to school or something else but since I am on summer break I get to go Riding over with a friend from work, we’re going to bathe the animals, clean up, walk them, etc etc. Afterwards we’re having a nice picnic at a local park Om nom nom, can’t wait for that either

I imagine I’ll leave wanting to buy every animal there
