Today is my first day back at work.. I expected today and tomorrow would be punishment for not working Monday or Wednesday. and wouldn't you know it, I woke up with an upset stomach and slight diarrhea.

Well, today WAS punishment. no part of today was fun. surgery started at 2 (instead of 11 or 11:30ish).. plus we had 3 admits
One admit was a very grumpy cat. I wouldn't blame her. she has an abscess on her neck, does not like her mouth being touched, had goo in one ear (same side as the abscess). I was the only one to hold her because apparently I was the only one who could. She hated my guts though so that made life "fun".
Another admit was a 110# dog with possible bone cancer.. she is sweet as pie, but VERY large! 
I checked out 2 clients, not feeling totally 100% comfortable on how to do it.  
I cried every available moment I was not at work.. on my drive to work, on my drive home at lunch, on my drive back, in the bathroom 2 times, and on my drive home for the night.

Everyone asked if I'd heard about the rooster -- yes, of course I have.. if it were up to me I'd take him.. but it's not my say.. he would be outside Ronnie's classroom crowing up a storm.. probably not the best idea.. 

I had been asked to come in to work a little early so I could catch up on the overflow of insurance claims from Wednesday's dental hygienist. I got to work & faxed 1 claim.. then I was in back for the rest of the day. That same file also had a request to send medical records to the insurance company for a previous claim. I processed that request before leaving at the end of a LONG LONG day (12.78 hours) 😫

I am exhausted and very ready for bed 🥱
.. will continue fun-filled work tomorrow
