Everything makes me sleepy. Pseudoepinephrine makes me sleepy.

Why do I feel vaguely guilty about having called the police to have them check on the dogs that belong to the next-door neighbors of the group home I worked at the last couple of days? On Sunday, my coworker pointed out to me that it looked like no humans were home since she came in on Saturday morning. The dogs are in a small dog run with a ply-wood dog house and a blanket. So I took a pitcher of water over to pour in their water dish - what was in there at the time was frozen. There was no food in their food dishes. The dogs were barking and growling - usually they are friendly and mellow. After giving them the water, I took some leftover chicken that was in the fridge (it was a couple days older than we are supposed to keep/feed to the people who live there, but it had not gone bad). I didn't think too much about them during the day today, but when leaving work tonight, I realized that there were still no signs of humans, and that it was bloody cold out.

I got home, told Daniel, checked WeatherBug for the temperature (10˚F) - and Daniel recommended calling the police. I did, they had an officer check on the dogs - he let me know there is now dog food in their dishes, and he deems the dog house sufficient shelter, but he will pass the report on to animal control in the morning.

and Daniel recommended calling the police.

I would have as well.

You did the right thing, WS. I hope the doggies will be taken care of.

I would have as well.

I wasn't sure if the call should go to the police or if it should go to animal control (though, this time of night they wouldn't be in the office) which is why I asked Daniel what he thought.

You done good, WindSparrow.

If no one was going to answer, you needed to call where there was a real person.

A Facebook Chat

Me:
You're a good daughter. You will make them proud.
Eventually we won't even exist to them.

Sister:
haha. I doubt that
No matter what they still love you guys which is why they can't let you go. If they didn't love you guys they would've cut Kiran bhai off a long time ago.

Me:
I'm surprised they haven't.

Sister:
I already asked them about it
They straight up said "because we still love him and no matter what he is still our son and we can't bear to see him suffer like that"

This is my new desktop at work and I NOT GETTING ANYTHING DONE. Do you think the two could possibly be related? [link]

I'm in Boston now for a conference. It's cold here.
