The way the schedule worked out, I was on duty five days in a row. I�m thinking that was a little much for me, as I fairly collapsed when I got back to the rig last night. Three of those days I worked in the VC, and that is very hard on aging lower limbs.
It came to me that I haven�t posted any pictures of the Visitors Center, so that�s what you�ll get tonight. It�s a nice place, but the slate floor is hard on volunteers.
Besides the displays, there is a small nature store that is run by the Okefenokee Wildlife League (OWL), which is the local friends group for the refuge. I�ve worked better book stores than this at other refuges. In my humble opinion, the selections offered for sale here lack appeal to the visiting public. If I were running it, I�d do it a lot differently, but then I�m just a volunteer and will be moving on in a couple of months.
Most of the folks in the volunteer village gathered around a campfire last night, but I just wasn�t up for it. On my day off today, I did the laundry and took Emma for a good walk for a change, and did meet with the others for the campfire tonight.
Just before we gathered, I fed Emma and she did her business. As I hopped up to clean up after her, I was shocked to find some worms in her deposit. Ugh! She must have contracted worms at her stay at the kennel when I had my surgery. Kathy, the intern, told me she would pick up some meds for Emma when she goes to her vet tomorrow. I�m not happy about this development. Yuck!
With my surgery, I�ve gotten out of the habit of posting so often. My life of recuperation also hasn�t been very exciting. It has been pretty boring for the last month or so. I�m hoping things perk up as I�m more able to ambulate around.
Thanks for stopping by� talk to you later, Judy
