First off, apologies for not posting in a very long time.  I'm still thinking I'd like to keep this thing going, but my life has gotten busy and very fulfilling, thereby limiting the time I spend online trying to find ways to fill up my evenings ( Read more... )

So, I fell off the face of the earth again... but good news!  I graduated (almost with honors, even...) and got my license and all my other official registration stuff, and I'm a vet now!  Life is really good, I love my job, I get along fabulously with my coworkers, I love the clinic I'm working at... all in all, living the dream.  And even getting ( Read more... )

So here I am, smack in the middle of a month of small animal medicine.  In my least favorite part of my least favorite city, doing what I like the very least about veterinary medicine... so, yeah.  Fun times.  It actually hasn't been terrible, I just don't want to be here.  The doctors are really nice, and a lot of my patients have been really cool ( Read more... )

hey all, sorry I haven't updated in like a year (okay, it hasn't been that long, but it kinda feels like that).  Clinics are crazy, I'm on small animal soft tissue surgery and it's all I can do to keep my head above water.   I'm either at the hospital, running around like a crazy person trying not to screw up too badly, or I'm home doing paperwork ( Read more... )

I just finished reading Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love" and I have to say it's one of the best books I've ever read.  It's a true account of her year long journey through Italy, India and Indonesia to find balance in her life after a terrible divorce followed by a crushing depression.  She's amazing, and my hero  :-)  Go out and read this ( Read more... )

And just like that, I'm done with another rotation ( Read more... )

They say bad luck comes in threes, right?  I hope that's true, because it should mean everything will stop dying...

So I haven't had a case of my own since Friday.  So the weekend was great, because I had the whole weekend off, and that was fabulous.  I was on call Monday, and we got the day off in general (Memorial day! I almost forgot about you ( Read more... )
