March 4th

I was really dreading this morning. I feel like I never slept all night.. maybe a snippet of a snooze here or there.. no solid deep sleep.

I lay in bed as long as possible.. THEN I looked outside to a blanket of snow 🤦 oh great..

so I got up and put cereal and blackcherry yogurt in a bowl.. that is VERY slow to eat..

I didn't leave the house until 8:40 & got to work 8:57.. 

I never got to check chickens for eggs, but did feed both kitties..

first appt was blood pull (our surgery was already in back so I hadn't helped with that one), then helped hold a dog for progress exam, and suture removal.

we had 1 dog and 3 cats from 1 family (I didn't help with that)

I worked on 3 wily dogs for nail trims and vaccines, 2 of those were anal expressions, and then one of the 2 was an exam as well.

next I started on all the insurance faxes.. I got 2/3 of the way by lunch but still need to write them all in the insurance log.

after lunch, finished my insurance faxes.. started working on the prescription requests and record requests..

I got interrupted a couple times as appointments came on, nobody to call them in, and reception area getting full (and LOUD!) 

thankfully Diana had pulled files for tomorrow, so I just had to prepare them (and find the few stragglers) 

we had TWO walk-ins. 

one was a dog who had been vomiting since yesterday, including prayer position and loss of appetite.. this was an exam that I got in. originally thought I was getting them in a room and someone would take over - nope did the whole history plus held for the whole exam. the following care and treatment was taken over by someone else.

the other was a dog passing through the area, who had been to both AEUC and BVH because he was hit by a car this morning (already had a concussion yesterday, don't know how) and both prior vet offices had not sent home any pain meds.. 

the second appointment that I got in was a progress exam.. I removed his bandage, then I held him for labs and vaccines..

then back to prescriptions and prepping files for tomorrow..

clocked out at 10 on the nose, 12.5 hours exactly.. 

thankfully there was no snow on my drive home tonight but tomorrow will be a "fun-filled* day of snow.. (it comes at 1am)  😣

16,860 steps..

so long..

farewell..

auf wiedersehen..

good nite..
