Shelter Life

I spent over 40 hours in less than four days at the shelter. I just returned home from my last shift there for the next three days. Today was easy, but yesterday was insane. Hospital visit, inappropriate physical contact, two kids almost killed each other and drugs. I was working with someone from another shelter who had never worked at Hays before, so it was like I was there myself. I need a vacation. I think I'll go to Belize in three weeks...
