Weekend Jumpoff
Dec. 6th, 2009 07:39 amWow, what a whirlwind three days. First, the amazing ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ignipies came down to visit which was ten kinds of awesome-- partly because I got a whole day off, partly because I saw more of the area I live in than I ever do when alone, partly because we tasted good wine and had whole vineyards to ourselves, partly because she makes awesome pancakes (even though I ran out of milk), my cats adore her, and we can crack jokes about Vulcan sex all night long-- and then we spent the next morning driving the pacific coast highway.
( cut for pix of waves and dogs )
Then, after seeing her off, it was a rather endless day. I had to after-midnight emergencies come into the clinic, one of whom survived but left me with about two non-consecutive hours' sleep. The following morning was such a madhouse-- we had one vet's dog get into some poison, four vets working on hospital cases and field emergencies (mine did not make it-- a theme of the weekend), and a former vet's memorial service for his wife brought 200+ people to the property next door. Finally, after discharging two patients, I got a full ten hours' sleep, only broken by 2am treatments. It was grand.
I hope all you all are having a good weekend.

In other news, I've resolved to be more in touch, be more into fannish squee and creative pursuits, and generally be a more active person. Recently, I've been letting problems at work (which IS my life) take me away from enjoying life, and I really really want to make that stop. So here's to you!
