Still Catching Up...

After my espresso induced coma, I slept in most of the day then did my little bit of house work and started dinner. We had the mayor and K-roo over for dinner.

We had pot roast, veggies, salad, broccoli rice and biscuits. It was SOO good. THEN to top it all off the mayor brought over Strawberry topped Cheese Cake.

After dinner Cam ran off to Bill's house warming party and I dropped the puppy off at Auntie Kay's for a play date with Cozy. Then K-Roo and I headed off to the mall to catch a movie and get Das Boot for Cam. We went to see "Step Brothers" (shh don't tell Cam) it was SOO FUNNY!! We got home about midnight and I crashed. It was a fun, but chill day.

Catching Up....

So to update you on the puppy. The owner went home and gave it a laxative (VERY bad idea) and it passed a rag...or at least that's what she said at first. She took the puppy to another clinic and didn't mention anything about the whole situation. However, the other clinic got a phone call and filled in on the poor puppy's situation.....she declined EVERYTHING except vaccines. And told the other clinic that the puppy passed a bra (hope it had no under wire...).

We got a report from the other clinic, I was so riled up I just wanted to call Animal Control on her, and all the girls that I work with were like " You have to get to a point where you don't care anymore than the owner" I don't think that will ever happen with me.

So ANY way, after work on Thursday Dr. M and the girls took me out for my going away dinner and it was great!! We went to Bravo's and OMG the food was YUMMY!! I was STARVING so we ordered appetizers and ate them all before Dr. M even got there. So my manager had gotten me a card, but she doesn't work on Thursdays, so she had everyone sign the card at the table. I was wound up and goofy so I was passing the card around saying things like "SHHH don't let her know, it's a secret" then acting all surprised when I opened the card.

My manager got me the CUTEST little lunch bag. She filled it with candy and snacks, and on the card wrote "May you never have another Snack Attack" because I'm ALWAYS eating at work. So anyway Dr. M finally got there, and I handed him the card and told him to keep it a secret because we didn't want me to know about the card. He laughed and signed the card, handed it back, and I acted super surprised when I got the card back. Everyone was laughing at me, but I rarely get to show my true colors at work and be stupid goofy.

So we had dinner and then dessert (I had vanilla gelato in a champagne glass with a shot of espresso over it YUM-O) and we all parted ways. I got home around 9ish and told Cam hi and we talked shortly. But the neighbor were having a cook out so we chilled with them and I was talking 90miles an hour because of the espresso. So I told my long drawn out version of the Great Dane Puppy Story all details and phone conversation include in about 10 min. I chatted the mayor's ear off until about 12.

And went to bed, and Cam didn't even know I had crawled in bed because about the time I got straight, I crashed and passed out.

Summed up in 3 words...

So today can be broken down into three sections: Work, Dinner, Night.

Work: A little exciting. We dubbed today "Stupid Tuesday with Vengeance." Every Tuesday it seems we get stupid phone calls, silly appointments and it's just a stupid day over all. We usually get stupid questions all week, but it seems we get the most stupidity on Tuesday. It's usually things like "My [insert pet] might have gotten into poison, ate a one pound Hersey kiss, has been puking/had diarrhea [insert ANYTHING else an animal can eat and isn't supposed to] on Thursday,Friday, or anything before Monday. Should I bring him in?" It makes good fun when we all need something to laugh about, granted it's nothing major that was eaten.

Today, we had a few one puppy ate wire Saturday or Sunday, went to an emergency clinic and was supposed to be to us Monday, she comes in and doesn't want surgery. I'll update you on the puppy's status tomorrow, but when I clocked out, she was supposed to take him to another clinic for MORE diagnostics, MORE radiographs and surgery. Then someone came in knowing she didn't have money to pay for the visit, and still made the appointment, and we had to jump through hoops to get her seen, and the flea problem with her pets taken care of.

Add this to coworker drama, and four lines ringing off the hook....it was chaotically funny today. I clocked out at 6:40, we close at 6 and BOTH doctors were running late. That kinda sums up most of my day at work.

Dinner: VERY yummy. We went over to the mayor's house, and we all cooked. Cam and the mayor grilled steak, K-Roo and I did veggies and Lei came over to eat. Lei was telling us about her puppy's training, and we're taking bets on how long it will be before T-Willie breaks the clicker she has.

Night: this is it. I came home, my back killing me, Cam took a shower, I played with iGoogle home page, and then took a shower. Realized I hadn't updated my blog today, and now that I have, I'm off to bed. G'night to all.
