Day 8 in my 9 day work week. This is what happens when you switch with people. I did it so they could spend time with those they love and care about though. I wish people would visit me but I also understand the cost to drive and/or fly makes it not possible. Plus the good news is I get quite a few days off between now and August. Not sure what August will look like until roughly the last week of July but I do know my last day is approaching faster then one would think; 21 days left. I may leave two-three days sooner too but it's in the air still.
Today I was on rehabilitation and although there are typically two of us in back, the other intern was stranded in Chicago due to a flight delay. He is supposed to arrive around 2pm today but in the meantime the two education interns, two rehabbers, and I have been holding down the fort. I think the education interns took care of cleaning on their side and then after wards helped feed. I feed squirrels and raccoons in side while everyone else fed raccoons outside, fed everyone their squirrel trays full of nuts and stuff, made food for residents inside and out, fed and watered residents, made solids for raccoons inside, and then went on produce run.
More or less they were a HUGE help!!! I did dishes, made forumla for everyone since the rest went bad, cleaned/fed/watered all of our mice, and took bad/mold/old produce outside to dump with the truck. Once that was taken care of (mind you I was helped with the loading process again) I then grabbed the Snowy Owl and we did her bandages and cleaned her cage. New food and water then she was put back. I did dishes a bit later once again and then cleaned off all counters in the kitchen, exam room, and nursery. I went through the back cooler and threw out all bad/old produce and then began 12pm squirrel feeding. Once this was done then we took lunch which is where I presently am typing up everything before this particular sentence.
After lunch I recall squirrel feedings again and the other intern showed up around 2ish as originally thought. Once he did everything kind of slowed down because everyone was chatting and up to shenanigans. I did 2pm, 4pm, 6p,. 8pm, and 10pm squirrel feedings and honestly cannot recall what else otherwise. Later after 6pm feeding though we went to the Min-aqua bats water ski show which was honestly really fun. I saw my first Osprey while there and also saw a Bald Eagle. It was my first water ski show too which was exciting. Some bare foot skiers last a quarter mile, some people skied backwards, and some had a pyramid. There was quite a bit of fun but we had to leave for 8pm feeding. After this feeding though three of us got chinese at the buffet across the street then returned back to hang out withe everyone as a group. Wish I could remember more and had pictures but sadly I cannot and do not.
