Katrina pet situation in Mississippi

Last night I received an email from a fellow member on Petbunny, an internet group of indoor rabbit owners. She relayed a message from another member who is in the Army and works with the Red Cross at disaster scenes. It seems that the shelter she was currently at was going to close in a week. The residents were being moved to another shelter but their pets, 8 dogs, 4 cats, and 3 birds, were to be left at the old shelter. The PetBunny group went into action. We called several pet rescue services in Mississippi and had contingency plans that would hopefully have found foster care for these pets. Fortunately it wasn't necessary because the state decided to keep the shelter open in light of the influx of new people due to hurricane Rita. It's nice to know that we could have that much of an impact when it was necessary.

Hey, they finally fixed the door lock to the room!!! It only took 2 emails and 3 visits in person to administrators to accomplish this small task. You gotta love education.

Shaving this morning irritated my face a little. I'm leaving it alone for now and hoping the pinkness dies down instead of flaring up worse. Sometimes less treatment is the best course when minor irritations occur on rosacea faces. If the problem continues I will probably start with the aloe gel tomorrow.

Let's see...what did I do at school today? I had an early parent conference that was routine, we had a taxonomy lab in all classes, and we reviewed for the test Monday on taxonomy and evolution. After school we had round 3 of our Fall chess tournament. It's 10:30 PM local time now and I am tired, tired, tired.
