Too Much Coffee...

I wasn't going to write tonight, because I can't think of much to write about-- not that I ever write about much anyway. But I think that evening cup of coffee just kicked in, and my plan of going sleep early is not going to happen. So I guess I will just ramble a bit about the day's events. Not a lot to report. I did some filing, I did some house calls (pulled blood from a very frisky bulldog, a not so happy cat, etc, etc-- you know a typical day as a house call vet...), and I picked the girls up early from school. I got a call around lunchtime that Big A had fallen on the playground and hit her chin. They suggested that I come to school to give her some Tylenol for pain because she had a pretty bad knot on her chin. So I went to school to assess her condition. She did have a large knot under her chin-- a pretty big hematoma. Fortunately the ice was taking down the swelling. But she seemed so pitiful that I asked if she wanted to go home early-- she said she did. Normally I would think that she was just trying to get out of school early, but today was dance class. She loves dance class, so I knew she must be in pain to agree to miss it. Since I was picking up Big A early, I took Little A home as well. So the girls got to spend the afternoon playing together at home. Unfortunately, Little A ended up missing her afternoon nap--and I paid for it this evening. She was a Holy Terror. But now the two sisters are tucked in their beds, sleeping soundly, and I am still totally wired on the coffee I drank at 7 pm.

Still no real news on the adoption front. Last week the agency email said that they were expecting the last signature that was needed for reaccreditation any day now, etc, etc... I'm still not holding my breath. I've made that mistake before-- gotten my hopes up only to have them crushed. So I am trying to put it all out of my mind. That is hard to do, because as I was filing today, I took another look at my Dossier and realized that many of my documents will be expiring at the end of December! Looks like I may have to redo most, if not all, of my paperwork soon. Needless to say, this does not make me happy. On that note, I think I'll try to get some sleep. Tomorrow I am going to fill in at a spay/neuter clinic and will be performing about 30 or more surgeries, so I had better rest up. What was I thinking when I scheduled this? :)
