I'm on the treadmill now. Going slightly slower than usual so I can cuop and post myself. I will have to get off shortly and still will be short the 10K steps so will likely walk around the building to get those extra steps in.
Got home at 7:20, put away the groceries I remembered to buy on the way home and then cooked myself dinner. On the way home I decided to have bacon and eggs and salad which I often have for lunch since I had a burger (dinner food) at lunch today. I'll be 200 calories over for the day but that's a lot better than it could have been. I'm surprised how low my fibre count is, though, since I had salad both at lunch and dinner. Not to say this would be a good plan but my chocolate in the morning has as much fibre as the salad I had. I'll take an extra fibre pill tonight to make up for the low number.
I worked so hard today and have so little to show for it. Of course the refugees didn't want much of the clothes I had and none of the hats because they had hats already. Now why did I get told to bring hats and mitts and boots if they already had them? Thankfully, the woman who told me to bring them was there to see they were rejected (except the mitts.)
I still have two more loads to bring up from the car. One of clothing, the other of 'stuff'. I gave the boys a box of toys today and they immediately started playing with one game which didn't need language so that was great. It was good to see the eldest boy playing for a little bit. One of the toys was a learn your letters and sounds, which he already knows so he can help his younger brothers with it.
I'm getting overwhelmed. My guess is about 1/4 of what is donated will be used by the family and the remainder (a lot of duplicates, bought new) will be given away to a thrift store. I begged for gift cards so the refugees could buy what they wanted and without duplicates, but people want to give something. If you ask for something specific, you'll get that item plus everything that goes with that item, even though the rest wasn't needed.
Sigh... I hate waste.
