What a day...
I just got home from taking the girls in to the vet. The vet I chose is a specialty avian and exotic (ie pretty much anything but dogs and cats) practice in Raleigh. I hate driving around in Raleigh. It's not even downtown and I hate it. But I did leave at 4:30 and left the vet around 5:20, so it was rush hour. Rush hour on Creedmoor Rd., Lynn Rd., and Glenwood Ave. And then there was 540 and I-40 to deal with.
Have I mentioned I HATE driving into Raleigh?
So anyway, it's going to be a quiet two nights, and I miss the girls terribly already. I made sure they had bedding (and even put in two handfuls of used bedding from their house so they had familiar smells) and their own igloos and food and even packed them a small baggie of Rice Krispies. I'm a doting mommy.
When I came home, there was a fire truck and an ambulance in front of our building. I have no clue what happened. The ambulance just drove away. There were no police cars, though, so my prayers that my neighbors would shoot each other weren't answered. I don't even know which apartment unit (in my building) was the one that called them in. *shrug*
All that matters, to me anyway, is that my home isn't burned down, and the girls are safe.
In other news, I went to the Ob/Gyn today for my annual. Fun fun! Because I only recently got my new health insurance (through Dad and his company) I haven't yet met my deductable, so the visit cost an arm and a leg. I really want to get the Mirena IUD, too, but that will probably cost me as well. My doctor is awesome, though. I just really like her a lot. She remembered how I was in miserable shape (mentally and emotionally) last year, and was genuinely glad to see I was doing so much better now. She also gave me a year's prescription for the pill so if I can't get the Mirena right away, I'm still covered, and if I can get it and anything happens (it gets rejected or something) I'm *still* covered. So in other words, it's not just an assumption that I'll get the Mirena in 3 months, so she's only covering me for that time period. This is probably standard practice and everything, but again, she's just an awesome doctor. (She uses Mirena too, and said she's the one trying to convince the older fuddy-duddy doctors that it's great! *L*)
Also, I asked my boss when my raise is supposed to go through. I'd been promised this for a while, and though I understand that my workload has been VERY light lately, I think it's about time. So I did the innocent way of asking, "Hey, you've mentioned a raise, so I was wondering when it will officially go through so I can budget..." etc. During our rune readings at class last night, twice my readings sounded like this job won't last. You know, that doesn't bug me too much. It gave me some decent experience (or at least I can make it sound decent on my resume) and a few connections. I want to stick with it at least through June so I can say I was with the company for a year, and if things don't pick up more, etc. I won't feel bad at all about finding something new.
I'm fugging STARVING, and thankfully ktok just came home and said, "Let's eat."
I'm just glad the main part of the day is over.
