so.. I have found.. that I just can't last a whole day..

I get tired too soon, and it doesn't help when we stay late at work. 

per the vet (and per OSHA requirements) we are not supposed to stay late anymore.. that lasted for about ~2 days~ and then we were staying late again. 

Monday wasn't much of anything.. our afternoon got a little more clustered.. and we had a non-ringworm dog with horrible skin. bald spots, raw flesh.. he was also super skinny and just looked outright uncomfortable.  he is STILL a work in progress. he has had many antibiotics - and canned food (which he LOVES!!!)

Tuesday we went off the hill for a follow-up doctor appointment. after that we were going to go to the human services office to check on the ebt money. once we got there, the girl gave us the number "4".. and they were calling out "X359" and "Z237". no logic, or rhyme or reason.. so we left and went to buy a little bit of food. we had planned on going to a dollar general for soda and bread. couldn't find one so went to Winco and bought a small portion of necessities - got to the check out line, and indeed he had no money on his ebt card. 

Wednesday was another emergency day.. poor old man puppy (10 years) had fallen over the weekend, hit is chin on the concrete driveway, and possibly fractured his jaw.. difficulty eating and drinking, and cries out when trying to move his jaw.. lovable sweetie through it all. we did surgery Friday. no fracture was found but he can't open his jaw very wide. and had many horrible teeth that were removed. 

Thursday flew by like nothing!! I was a zombie and tried to keep busy. I took a 'small' nap that actually lasted 3-1/2 hours!!! I didn't want to sleep that long!! I still slept overnight and had difficulty waking up the next morning.. I overslept Friday (we both did) and never even got to make my coffee at work.. the appointments were just too busy. 

Friday was thankfully a low-key day.. no emergencies.. but still very long and late. the lovable sweetie with the non-fractured jaw, was there very, very late, making it more than a 13-1/2 hour day.. 

I'm beginning to think that "job opportunity" I applied on was a scam. I never heard back from anyone, but had received multiple emails about it within a couple days of each other. I sent a follow-up email checking in, in case it is a valid job opening.
