sugar sugar
well this week was a little more than i anticipated...and yea it's tuesday so i guess that's sayin something. i went to work on sunday at the marine mammal care center. it was my first time going on a sunday afternoon and there was a completely different crew there which was good and bad. that scary/mean david guy wasn't there but i also spent the five hour shift being called lindsay and also before anyone figured out that it was lizzie i got...wait what's your name again at least three times. so yea that actually doesn't bother me. i feel more awkward correcting someone than being called by the wrong name...stupid me anyway i was put to work making gruel which is a lovely(by comparison) way of saying blended sardines. i had to make 8,000mL which covered the evening, morning and afternoon feeds. i won't go into every detail because i think i'm grossing everyone out that reads these updates but suffice it to say i am now quite sure that i can say i don't like cutting the heads of fishes....or the tails...or the fins..for 5 hours or any other amount of time.
on a bit of a sadder note my dog is still very sick and we made the decision to have her go into surgery to take out her spleen which was causing some of the problems. anyway i just got back from the vet and they just finished the surgery. apparently she did alright and she's recovering but even with the spleen out she could have cancer and if so the doctor gave a prognosis of 6-8 weeks. obviously i'm sad and am hoping for the best but still i guess anyone that knows me knows that i love my animals to the point of putting them on par with my care for humans...i mean in the movie glory i cried not because matthew broderick died but because all the horses were being shot. caroline birnie will confirm that one as i believe she was sitting in back of me laughing at my ridiculousness. anyway today sucks in that way but sugar made it through the surgery so i guess that's to be celebrated.
i just have to stay in closing that i had a garden state moment...no i didn't end up with an amazing boyfriend after he realized he wanted to be with me. i drove away from the gas station with the pump still in my gas tank. luckily i looked back just in time as that taut cord was really getting ready to rip apart. i knew that today would be bad-ish after that. i also ran a stop sign and ended up stopping as if to correct the situation ten feet after the stop sign.. the ( hot---of course) guy in a truck( seriously..of course!!) looked at me a little odd. i'm gonna finish up before i make another error.
