Surgery

calliope2 Jun 22, 2011 07:31

So, I've been asked to do a hernia repair on a kitten this morning. If you don't know this already, let me tell you that I am TERRIFIED of doing surgery. I never enjoy it, and really don't like it. But my boss offered me the opportunity to help this kitten and the owner the opportunity to have an inexperienced surgeon (me) do the procedure for ( Read more... )

Scared!

I've been hired to work part time as a veterinarian by a local clinic. I was originally going to start on Monday, but the doctor called this morning and asked if I would like to come in today to "get my feet wet" because she is busy. So I am about to leave for my first day of work as a real veterinarian. I AM the doctor starting today. To say I am ( Read more... )

Please, can I just NOT have a headache?

I am so worn down by these migraines. Today's was brought courtesy of the drop in barometric pressure. It is yielding somewhat as the pressure rises, but we are still on the low end of comfortable for my head.

I am really, really, really tired of headaches.

The girls both requested an evening run, owing to their stronger desire to sleep in. Because I am worried another headache could impact my ability to run, I decided to go by myself this morning and I will just run again with them this evening, should they actually go. Since it was already getting warm out, I decided to head to the gym and run on ( Read more... )

I just cannot tune a fricking cello. The pegs are hard to move, and then they just don't stay put. Anyway, I broke TWO, count 'em, TWO strings today. I don't even know how I did it, because I was so out of tune, I should not have been able to break them. I was nowhere in the range of needing to use the fine tuners. Whatever. At least I still have ( Read more... )

Ugh

Yesterday was a complete loss to a stupid headache. I woke up feeling great today. I went for a run with the girls, then headed to the gym for a nice work out. I had all kind of plans to be productive to make up for the nothingness of yesterday (I even had to decline going to see the new X-Men movie with Alan and Katy ( Read more... )

So, does anyone remember me?

It's been a long time. Hi, how are you? As for me, I blame facebook. As I commented in another journal, it's just...easier. But I miss taking time to be introspective, and so, I think it's time to dust the LJ off and get writing about me again. I hope you'll sit and have some coffee with me.

So what have I been up to? Well, there's this:
