You know how sometimes you just wanna choke a...

No, wait.

You know how sometimes a day can feel like a year? Yeah, I feel like it's been almost 3 years since I saw my beloved daughter. Yeah. And every minute of those 3 years was spend at Banfield. Yeah. I've got the bruises to prove it ( Read more... )

Poor Mel, you have had a hell of a time, haven't you? At least you have tomorrow to relax and chill out with Devin, right? *hugs*

OH yeah. I even moved my dr appt so that we can just stay home and do NOTHING tomorrow, and chill, and be together uninterrupted. :)

That sounds blissful. I hope you have a beautiful day with your little girl tomorrow. :) Do you have anything planned, or are you just going to chill?

I was fresh faced when I started in ER, and I was there for 2.5 years before I left. I left cause I was pregnant, but really I was starting to burn out too.

Actually, it was days like today that burned me out. BUT... thankfully these are now few and far between now.

Well, I work like 34 hours a week so I have 3 days off, so that helps. AND you can see how my posting has petered off, hehe. But, thank you. I try :).

34 hours a week is still more than enough with a toddler!

Oh, I whole-heartedly agree, though now that Dave and I don't live together anymore I only have her half the week. :P

Aw.... poor kitty! *hugs*

You're doing an awesome job for these animals and their parents, though.
