Hi, and welcome to week 32!

Its crazy, right? Where has the year gone?

Anyway, I woke up a little before my alarm, and went and started making cinnamon rolls. I turned on Cutthroat Kitchen and watched that as the time went by. I got the cinnamon rolls and walked 2 over to my Sister’s house for my Parent’s since my Sister was gone for the day. I said good morning to everyone, and then came home and ate my cinnamon roll.

I dozed for a little bit, until like 950, and then I went back over to my Sister’s house because Mom was having someone come by to check her out today. 10 minutes after they were meant to be there I got a text saying that they were running at least 45 minutes late. I told Mom and Poppa and they were okay with me leaving, I said I’d come back if she was there before I had to leave for my appointment. I fell asleep on the sofa, woke up, realized what time it was and went and got Fiks up so we could leave. It was at this time that the person coming to check on Mom showed up. Bloody typical. I helped her park, told Poppa that we were leaving, and gathered up my back pack, grocery bags, and we left.

Fiks drove us down the mountain and dropped my off at my eyebrow appointment. The specialist (I think that’s what they call the waxers), was running late, so I sat and read my book for a while. I eventually got in, and got my eyebrows done. I texted Fiks on my way out and he said he was outside, but I didn’t see him. So I started walking the cars and then I noticed his car, so I walked over and got in. He was a few isles over from where the wax center is, which was fine. We stopped and got a drink at Starbucks, and then we went to the grocery store. Grocery store went fine, and we swung by and got some Panda Express before coming home.

We watched YouTube for a while, and then Fiks went and jumped on the computer to play Balder’s Gate 3, so I turned on Hidden Figures. Its a movie I’ve wanted to see but I can never remember the bloody name of it to go look it up. I just finished the movie, it was good. After the movie I gathered the BBQ sauce and burger buns and went over to my sister’s to make garlic burgers. The garlic burgers took a while to make, and to cook, and for some reason they were really oily on the BBQ, I think maybe I added too much BBQ sauce. But they were good, so that’s the important thing.

I’m sorry Fiks. I love you. I was just frustrated and got into a bad mood, and I let myself take it out on you. And I’m sorry. I tried to apologize but it didn’t seem to go over well..so now I’m sitting in bed with my book and tears in my eyes.

I didn’t sleep the best the night before, and was still kinda grumpy from the night before. I slept in, got up and had some breakfast. Fiks got up with me and jumped onto his computer. I read my book for a while, went back to bed and read in there while I delt with some emotions and fell back to sleep for a while. I got up around noon and made myself lunch and then I watched some Cutthroat Kitchen until it was time to get dressed for work. I made Fiks get up from the computer so that I could leave for work.

I got to work okay, got into my work shoes and I went and got myself some water and punched in and then settled down and got to work. I started answering phone calls and emails. T had to leave for her appointment, that’s why I was there. So it was me and F answering phones and doing the appointments and such. The afternoon wet by fairly well. I managed to survive F and her chaos energy, it seemed a little more under control today. I decided while I was at work that I would got and see a movie while Fiks was gaming tonight.

I came home and told him that I wanted to go see a movie, and we talked. He said he didn’t feel like gaming tonight so he’d go see the movie with me. We went and saw the Haunted Mansion. Its one of my favorite rides at Disneyland. I wasn’t expecting an amazing movie, just one that was cute and fun, and I got it. After the movie we went and got some ice cream and then we came home and I got ready for bed.

I slept pretty well last night, but I didn’t want to wake up this morning. I remember Fiks saying goodbye and then my alarms started going off, which I snoozed the first one. I didn’t even feel like I had closed my eyes for long before it went off again, which I resented. But I got up and went and had breakfast and then I watched some TV before getting up and ready for work and packing my lunch.

I got to work a little early, so that was nice. I sent out a few text messages and then I changed into my work shoes and gathered my things and headed inside. The ball was rolling when I already got there, and one of the vets was already in a mood. I asked her a question and she snapped my head off. The manager was there and snapped right back at her, which made me smile. Little did I know that it was going to be one of the few times I would smile today.

I roomed a lot of the patients today. They were playing favorites in the back, and training the other two on how to place catheders. I get it, its an important skill. But my skill development shouldn’t be hindered, ignored, or interfered with for it. But I did get too meet a good boy. A 8 year old, 160lbs Irish Wolf Hound named Laird (pronounced like ‘lord’).

I met a few puppies and kittens today, so that was probably the highlight besides Laird. We had a dog in who’s really sick, the vets aren’t sure he’s going to recover. We have been giving him fluids all day, and at the end of the day I force fed him a can of food because he was refusing to eat and the vet said that he needed something in him. I felt really bad about doing it, but it needed to be done. The last clients of the days were puppies, and the owners were…. special. They were kinda off when I roomed them, apparently they got into an argument with the doctor in the room. So they stopped talking, or looking at each other, and the woman started crying. After they were gone we closed up and started cleaning.

When we were done I came home and jumped in the shower. I didn’t want to bring whatever that dog has going on to Lumi, even if he is a little brat. I came home after walking him because my Sister is a lazy bum and started making dinner. Chicken and broccoli, it turned out pretty good. Fiks and I snuggled down on the sofa and watched the last episode of Good Omens. OMG. SO. FUCKING. GOOD. The Tennant fan girl in me squealed, and my arms even shot up in the air towards the end.

After Good Omens we talked for a little bit and watched some YouTube videos for a while. Then Fiks went and hopped into the shower while I went and walked Lumi. Again. See above about my Sister being a lazy bum. I started working on this and turned on Cutthroat Kitchen again.

I slept really well last night. So good in fact that I was late for work. Not by a few minutes…. Try an hour and 30 minutes. Thankfully my boss wasn’t angry at me since I’ve never done anything like that before. I got up and dressed and made my lunch and moved my way down the truck then rolled down the mountain into town. I walked in and the call backs hasn’t been done yet. I then got death glares from V for doing the call backs, and for helping A with ultrasounds. The day was just kind of a catch up day for me since I started so late. I had one lady who had latched onto me over the phone and was asking questions about what was going to happen because she was putting her (asshole) of a dog down. Like the dog came to us with a donut on, in a duffle bag, and only one Doctor and A could handle this dog while he was awake, he was that bad. I did get to go to lunch tho, so that was nice. V of course had a problem with it.

V was just a pain in the ass today, and I wasn’t the only one who noticed thankfully. I asked her to room a patient. She looked at me and turned around and went the other way. I… Grrr…. I wanted to beat her ass so badly for that.

But I don’t think she roomed a single person today. She’d just hang out in the back and either look busy or just stand there and ignore being told what to do. Not going to fly anymore, princess. Anyway, I roomed the person who was putting her dog down and made sure that she was okay before going and getting the doctor.

I came home and went over to my Sister’s house to say hi, and I ended up hving dinner over there. It was sausage with pasta, so it was good. I brought a bowl home for Fiks and took a shower before settling down and watching cutthroat kitchen. Fiks came home shortly after, and we watched some YouTube videos for a while, then I went to bed when it was time.

I slept pretty good last night. I meant to get up when Fiks left to go to the gym, but I stayed in bed instead. I woke up when my alarms went off and had some breakfast before making lunch and getting dressed for work. I made it down the mountain a little late, but considering my start time wasn’t until 9 it was fine, I got there before 9. I punched in and everyone was complaining about V from yesterday, but didn’t want to do anything about it. I said I would and I went and told the manager what she was doing (or lack thereof) yesterday. The manager said she can’t refuse to room clients, and I told her about ditching me last Wednesday.

The rest of the day went fine. We did have our OSHA meeting, so we got pizza for lunch. I only had 1 slice, not fond of the company they went to, but I’m in the minority on that one, so its fine. After the meeting I went up front and started working up there.

There was a voice mail from someone who I used to work for. I actually used to live on her property, then I got injured riding one of her horses, and Fiks stood up to her, so we got kicked out. Haven’t had any contact with her since. Needles to say I handed that phone call off to someone else. The rest of the afternoon went okay I guess. We had a guy refuse to pay the exam fee, so that was interesting. With what was going on with his dog he needed and exam, and I made the appointment. So G was mad at me at the end of her shift. We had a police dog come in at the end of the day for an emergency. She either had a twisted stomach or spleen, I don’t remember which, but she had to go to the Emergency Room down the street from us for surgery.

I came home and went and said hi to my Parents at my Sisters house, told them about my day, and came home. I got changed and flopped on the sofa. I read my book while I had Cutthroat Kitchen on in the background. I nibbled most of the time I was home, so I wasn’t super hungry when Fiks texted me and said he was on his way. I told him to pick something up for himself, so he did. He got Carl’s Jr. And we sat and watched Only Murders in the Building’s new season. Well, the episodes that had been released at least. We watched a couple of YouTube videos before I called it and went to bed.

I slept okay last night, I woke up when Fiks came in the room and pointed out that I was kicking a lot. I couldn’t stop so I hopped in the shower once he was done. Then I woke up around 3 I wanna say and talked with my Cousin for a few minutes before falling back to sleep. I woke up with my alarms, I’m assuming I said goodbye to Fiks, I just don’t remember. But I got up with my alarm and ordered a Starbucks from down the street, and got ready for work. When it was time to go I went down to the truck and hopped in. I turned towards the freeway and saw a bunch of traffic. I forgot that school started yesterday. I went to Starbuck because my order was meant to be ready. I was waiting in line for 10 minutes for it to be made, then I had a high school driver almost back into me and then they tried to cut me off.

I eventually made it to work, and I got into my work shoes as fast as I could and went and punched in. I started going through emails as soon as I sat down and started answering phones. Benny and Bash were sleeping the morning away, we had clients come in soon after I started. I went back to the doctors office and put a folder down, and one of the doctors used my full name. I asked if I was in trouble. She just shrugged and sent me on my way. The lady who runs the equine office called my name and I went back and she gave me a little pony to add to my collection I have in my truck.

I went back up front and worked up there. Then S came up looking for E, and asked me for help placing a IV catheter in a bassets hound leg. S got it on the first try, so I gave her mad props for that. Then I went back up front and punched out an came home to watch a movie with my Cousin. I watched some TV while I was waiting for her. We chatted for a little bit and then ended up watching 10 Things I Hate About You.

We both miss Heath Ledger. I just hung out at home until my parent showed up at my Sister’s house, and then I walked over and said hi and showed them the pony and hung out and talked for a little while. I came home and watched some TV and after a while walked back over to my Sister’s house and walked the dog for them. Then I came home and Fiks texted me that he was on his way home, so I started making dinner. Didn’t have the best timing on it but it worked out pretty well. Fiks took his bowl and sat at the computer and I put on The Witcher. We watched that until it was time to go to bed.

I didn’t sleep the best last night. I moved to the sofa and turned on the TV and slept to Downton Abby. Fiks came and woke me up to say goodbye, and then he came back and asked me to stand up so he could search the sofa for his gum dispenser. He didn’t find it. So I crawled back onto the sofa and slept some more. I slept through 2 out of 3 alarms, whoops. I got up and got dressed in a groggy state, and then I made my way down the mountain to work.

I got there with a few minutes to spare, so that was nice. T had already stopped by Starbucks, so she didn’t need anything, so I ordered myself a drink and something to eat and started the day. The first phone call was someone looking to put their cat to sleep, we had one appointment left, so that was a kinda sad start to my day. But the rest of the day went by just fine. Someone brought in some pumpkin squares with pecans and whip cream. T thought I should take one to Fiks at work, so she got one an put it on a paper plate. I was fine with it in the office, but once I put in next to me in the truck my throat felt tight and my head started to hurt.

I got to the station and handed off the treat as quickly as I could. Fiks asked me why I was even touching it, and I told him I felt fine until I got into the truck. I stayed and we chatted for a little while before I came home. I went over and said hi to my parents and told them I wasn’t feeling well, and they asked if I would walk Lumi. I said okay and so I took him for a quick walk with Poppa and then I came home. I got changed, put on Downton Abby, took 2 Benadryl and PTFO’d for a while, which was a nice surprise since Benadryl normally makes me hyper as hell.

I woke up and ate something, and at 5 I went over to keep my Mom company while Poppa and my Sister were at church. Well, my Sister just dropped Poppa off this week, so she was home shortly after I went over. Mom and I watched the 2nd Downton Abby movie and we talked about random things. My Sister went to go pick Poppa up and asked me to make the garlic bread, so I did for some weird reason. They came home, I walked Lumi again and then I came back home.

Fiks was home when I walked in, so that was a surprise. I ordered dinner once he was done with the shower and we’re waiting for gaming to start.

I’m going to leave it here this week.
