Today was National Clear the Shelter day. Even though I knew it would be like Black Friday at Walmart, I did two shifts at the shelter today. Very anxious, a handful of Xanax helped. With no adoption fees, I was responsible for 15 animals finding new homes today. Just shows even as bad as things are, a ray of light can pop out of nowhere and smack you on the ***. I don't say this very often, but I think I feel good today.
