UNINTERESTING LIFE UPDATE
Okay, clearly, I am friggin crazy after working night shifts @ the ER, haha.
Work was ultra slow tonight (which is a good and a bad thing-- bad because it means there's not a whole lot to do, but good because it means less sick animals!), so I pretty much just took temp, pulse, and respiration rates on the animals that were already in-house patients (nothing too special, just routine monitoring).
We did have one "emergency," a hit-by-a-car dog who was, thankfully, in stable condition when he came in, so.. that was about as interesting as it got. (We took x-rays and found that he had a dislocated/disconnected caudal [tail] vertebra as a result of the trauma; otherwise, Scruffy, the very appropriately-named raggedy-looking dog, was fine).
Aaaaaand now I'm back home and I just concocted some weird-ass snack for myself: Artichoke hearts dipped in fat-free mayo w/ parmesan + lemon juice, then baked in the toaster oven 'til the parmesan crisped on the artichokes. (My mom made something similar in the past for me so I was trying to imitate that, but.. I'm not sure if I did it right, haha. Oh well, it was tasty anyhow!)
Procrastinating on sleeping, but must.. force.. self.. to go soon. (Busybusy day tomorrow-- no school, but running around doing errands for various puppy dogs, including my own boys, and then working another overnight tomorrow.. wooo!)
