There is no path to peace... Peace is the path  I have been feeling really out of the loop recently. Partially because when I work overnights I have next to no time at home, barely enough to sleep, shower, and grab some food. But I think there's more to it than that. Just a nagging feeling. And the not-so-great thing is that I no longer care as much. Soon I may not care at all. It bugs me that I don't have enough time for my horse and my husband, but as for the rest, oh well. I am content to bury myself in my work and my own solitary life. With my new project, I feel like some sacrifices will be required, but if it means missing out on some things, oh well - it will be oh-so-worth-it in the long run. 5 years from now life will be amazing. So for now, as long as I can hold on to enough horse time to keep my spirit nourished, and enough snuggles with J, the rest can all take care of itself. Sigh. I hate feeling this way, but at the same time I feel like I should stop fighting it, stop trying to make everything fit, and just surrender and go with the flow. Current mood:  contemplative.Current music: Q107. Today I have so far managed to book a Drs appointment and a dentist appointment, and send out a bunch of resumes. One interview so far. Yay! I don't want to leave North Town all together but I do feel that is is time to broaden my horizon, see what else is out there, or at least go through the process of putting together a resume/CV and sending out applications and going on interviews. So let's see how employable I am... I waffle back and forth between "I am an awesome vet, I have worked 3 years in emerg so what clinic wouldn't want me?" to "I have been out of school for 3 years, I hate surgery and am afraid of spays, what clinic would want me?". It really is quite amusing. Ok, now it is time to go organise some books. We got 3 new bookcases last night for the office and discovered we have room for one more, so we will have a total of 8 in the office. Yay, I am so happy. I want my hallway and spare room and living room back! EDIT: Ok, I feel pretty good about myself. I sent out 5 resumes last night and I have 2 interviews already! EDIT #2: Ok, so now within 2 days of sending 5 resumes I have 4 interviews - and clinic #5 (the one that hasn't responded) is not hiring, I just know the Dr in charge so I sent in a resume for next time they are looking. Whee! I think I may be about to run out of neurons. My brain just feels so full. I don't know how much more I can multitask! And everything is important, so it's not like I can remove something from my life. It's all about balance, I guess. - Whisper keeps my heart and soul alive - the gym keeps my body healthy - snuggling my cats keeps my blood pressure down - Jason - well, you can't live without love, can you? - the Grove and other such things keeps me spiritually fulfilled - North Town (my life as a vet) keeps my mind active, gives me my daily dose of puppy and kitten therapy, gives my life meaning, and is as necessary to me as breathing - sleep! I need lots and lots of sleep! - healthy food, cooking, eating - these things are not optional - my mother - a necessary annoyance, a great source of stress, but really I am glad she is here - my house - I need to keep it clean and tidy (or at least somewhat) or else I start twitching in a most unhealthy way - I am seriously thinking of taking a week off just to clean - hey, I have the vacation pay, so why not? - reading - escapist literature - gives my brain a break from my real life! - CE - I need to keep learning new things, or else I will stagnate and rot And on top of all this I now have this wonderful new and exciting project, stimulating and scary all at once, which I just cannot wait to share with everyone! I'm hoping to be able to spill the beans in about 2 months, but until then you'll just have to put up with the occasional veiled references from me. In other news, so far it looks like the election is going well, we have a liberal premier and local liberal representation, which makes me very happy. However I'm a little surprised by the MMP results. Current mood:  crazy.
Grrr. I am tired. I have too much to do and not enough time. My house looks like a hurricane hit. And my mom, who was supposed to have 2 or 3 boxes of my stuff from her house in texas, has about 12 - all sitting in my living room. I'm afraid to open them because of the crap she may have decided was mine, and now I have to get rid of it. I need to do laundry, I have no clothes. And grr grrr grrr. Oh yeah, and I have that other project to work on. I am so tired. Ok, end of rant. Current mood:  grr.
Hi everyone! Busy busy life has been insane, but over the last few days I have seen a million cute puppies and kitties - more than usual. I love puppies and kittens. And I got to see a guinea pig today, which is always fun. I have tomorrow off, but the day is already crazily overbooked. First and foremost, I must sleep. I am so tired. Then I am going out with Sonia to look at a certain place. Then I want to go see horsie and then we're going to my mom's for a thanksgiving dinner of pizza and storebought pie - we have all been way too busy to even think about cooking! Oh yeah, and somewhere in there I need to do laundry, clean the house, and we want to work on the office floors at last. Whee! Happy thinksgiving, everyone :) Current mood:  content.
Life has just been too busy lately. Here's the recap: Saturday we got home really late, dropped off mom's cat at the clinic to board, and came home to collapse, exhausted from 3 days of driving. Sunday we had Grove stuff, which was awesome. Monday I had a meeting to go to, I helped my mom with some settling-in stuff, and I worked midnight to 8am. Tuesday I got home in the morning and napped, then did some errands and went to see my horsie in the evening. My mom is upset because I won't let her go out to see him without me there, but I just don't trust her with him - she will get hurt, he will get hurt, someone will get hurt, and whenever a person gets hurt around a horse, the horse gets blamed, even if the preson was blatantly at fault, so I will not have that. My horse is awesome, but you need to know how to act around horses or else accidents will happen. Wednesday I worked. Today my mom's furniture was supposed to arrive. We went to customs, no problem. Then we arrive at the apartment building and they say that the moving truck is too big so the driver has to scramble to find a smaller truck and reload everything so we won't have her furniture until tomorrow. So no I have a little bit of down time. Tomorrow, saturday, and sunday, I work. Maybe on monday we can get back to instgalling the floors in our office... So that's my life. My house is a mess but I don't care right now, I am going to relax if it kills me :) Current mood:  lazy.
I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, hooray! I hate the United States, I love Canada, I am never leaving again. Current mood:  happy.
So we left this morning, 1 day and 2 hours later than planned (we were supposed to leave wednesday no later than 7 am, we left thursday at 9am) but at long last we left Laredo! There was much rejoicing. Despite one on-and-off whining cat, one 3-hour stall in traffic due to a moron truck driver who drove into a brigde (yup, only in texas!) and several bathroom and coffee breaks, we still made decent progress - hooray! Tomorrow I hope I can get my mom in the car by 7 am, because I don't love the idea of driving more than 12 hours in one day, but hey, approximately 1/3 of the trip is done. I can not wait to see the Canadian border, although I always love my country, it is only when I am away that I realise how much I truly love and appreciate Canada. Ok, now it is time for pizza and then bed. Current mood: satisfied.
Or maybe a flu. Either way, I have a fever, I alternate between chills and sweating, I am drained of all energy, I have a massive headache and sinus pain, I am nauseous and fighting to make myself eat because I know I won't get better without enough nutrients, coughing and sneezing and fun snot coming from my nosem I am generally miserable and exhausted. I broke down and took some meds and I still feel like crap. And we are supposed to start driving tomorrow morning. And my mother, the queen of procrastination, still has tons to do before we leave. Ain't life grand! Ok, end of whine. I'm going back to the tylenol bottle and then I'm hgaving my 3rd or 4th nap of the day. Current mood:  sick.
In about 6 hours I am leaving for Texas, for what will hopefully be the last time - ever! Mom and I are driving up, which should be... fun... She is currently driving me crazy over the phone, I'm hoping that once we actually start driving she'll relax a bit. Either way, it is worth it to finally have her leave Texas. Yay! So I will most likely be off email and so on until friday. Updates will follow. Current mood:  anxious.
