A cardiologist nearly killed me today. Oh, not like that. What happened was that, on my way to my car, I saw a rabbit in the parking lot. Easily amused and transfixed by said bunny rabbit, I didn't notice when a doc came up behind me and said, "Don't think he's gonna find much grass here in the parking lot". I evidently jumped so high as to hang off of the helipad. The doc apologized and laughed. I started laughing as well, of course, but I bet he thought *I* was a bunny rabbit after such an epic leap. I will say that, even though I was probably on the verge of tachycardia, at least I didn't piss myself. My bladder control is amazing. (Hm. Maybe I should use that in a personals ad. Heh heh.) Also, having a bladder that can expand to the size of a beach ball helps.
Yes, work was better. Well, it was boring. I had ~ what? ~ three or four patients. All of them with boring stuff. I did have one blood culture that was positive. I did the microscopic exam of it. That was actually really cool to look at (the patient is VERY sick) - on only 10X magnification, the background was red and there were these dark purple lines running all over. Up to the 100X magnification, it was gram positive cocci in chains. Looked like a crazed cartographer on crack drew that map! Or, if you don't like alliteration, it looked like hairs all over the slide until closer examination. I have a love/hate relationship with microbiology.
When I filled Eek up with gas, I bought two lottery scratch-off tickets. $2 each. I actually won! AND I won on BOTH tickets! I was stoked! Ok, yeah, I won $2 on each ticket but hey, it was fun to have the OMG!! Moment.
This weekend's to do list:
* Finish the purse for the sheep costume/Fairy Festival
* Finish the "Mullets of the Animal Kingdom I" and "Mullets of the Animal Kingdom II"
* Sleep
* Dig holes and put plants in them. (The bee balm needs pulled out of my phlox ~ gawdammit! ~ and the big, blue pot needs something growing in it - not those dead sticks.)
* Send in order to DickBlick.com (which sounds like a porn site but is actually for art supplies - cheap! And, hey! Prismacolors are on sale! $1.99 each if you buy six. WOOT!)
