Wanted: some wonderful cheap, but thorough.......
My current status is .... in need of some "Amy" time. So after a long day of surgery today that didn't end until 5:45 and included no lunch break and an unwelcome wake up call at midnight:05 from the pager I trudged home in the frigid weather to plug in my uncreative display of Christmas lights and eat a grilled cheese sandwich. The call the night before had been from a lady that was concerned because her cat was displaying estrus behavior but had been spayed 5 years prior. I feel for her, really I do. But after midnight, this is not an emergency. The cat is not in distress. It's not bleeding. It's breathing normally. It's not an emergency. I thought I convinced her to bring the cat in today...but it was so much of an emergency last night after midnight that she didn't deem it important enough to come in during office hours. Hmmmmm....
I cleaned my house somewhat for the impending arrival of my mom and Maryann on Thursday. They have graciously agreed to help my single self put up my Christmas tree - mind you it fell down last year. I'm always in need of help, it seems. Speaking of which, I'm thinking of posting a Wanted ad. It will say, "Wanted: some wonderful cheap, but thorough trustworthy person to vacuum the dusty baseboards in my humble abode." I just can't seem to do it. I can't do it. I somehow have developed an aversion to vacuuming and only do it when I absolutely can't stand the dirt clods that I track in on my work shoes. And I hate cleaning out my whirlpool tub. You actually have to crawl in it to clean it. This doesn't work for me. You know, it doesn't fit in my agenda. I still need a Merry Maid. How wonderful would that be??
I digress.
I got 30 minutes of "Amy" time this evening and it was great. But, as you see I'm already running behind and am blogging at 11pm. I still have not called my significant other to see how his day was, I have 2 loads of laundry to put up and a dishwasher to empty. I don't even have any kids!!! How am I always so behind??
On another much more positive note, we got a new microscope at work. I love it. I want to do 5 cytologies tomorrow just to test it out. It will take me 5 weeks (at least) to do that many cytologies but one can hope, right? How come no one ever answers me when I ask these questions?
I promise I will begin the series for "The Southwestern Chronicles" as soon as I'm feeling witty. I have these great epiphanies of creative and entertaining writing and then I don't write them down and they disappear into the great abyss of my mind. That is all my mind seems to be these days -- an abyss. It's like it finally reached it's full capacity after veterinary school and decided to self-purge all the information that I spent so long cramming into it. I'm not sure if that is good or bad. Alas, that is the way that it is. Wait, what was I saying?
Goodnight all.
