About Me:: i'm a laboratory animal veterinarian working in the baltimore/dc area, so i'm busy saving the world one monkey at a time. my posts cover such blindingly random topics as news of the strange, adventures in online dating, my life with an aging arthritic dog, and what i had for dinner last night.

wow, thanks

i got a rather random phone call today from a technician at one of our other buildings. one of his investigators had a visiting veterinarian from another institution who wanted to sit in on some procedures and look around the place. apparently, my vet colleague who runs that building had taken the am off, so [...]

phone-crazy

Vivian has noted in the past that i have a near-OCD-level fixation when i end up on a little “kick” of some sort. i’ll obsess relentlessly over x or y or z, research that topic to pieces, be able to spout off its entire history, judge whether an example is of good quality or [...]

**so that’s what that means**

sunday night, i got in my car to drive to work. well, not my car, exactly, the little silver malibu i’ve been driving courtesy of big-ass dumptruck’s insurance company, but i’m getting used to it enough to think of it as temporarily mine. anyway, hopped in the car, and drove through some lightly [...]

other than that, it worked out pretty well

today was all about loafing. after getting up to do the standard am routine (dog, teeth, bathroom, etc), i crawled right back into bed with a comfortingly trashy novel and promptly devoured the whole thing in one sitting. there was even leftover cheesecake from the factory to nibble on. i **never** eat in bed, so [...]

is there a vacation fairy?

i’ve been silent here for a week now, which isn’t really like me, but i annoy myself with constant whining. so when things are blah or downright bad, i just don’t get around to posting about it. work is just killing me lately. through a sad misalignment of fates, we’ve had a lot of sick monkeys [...]

shoe? dropping?

continuing the theme of ‘omg this rocks hope i’m not prematurely jinxing anything’, i’m driving a wee rental car today. after the smash-up of last week, i played phone tag for a couple days with the insurance people on their side. when we finally spoke, it was a very sweet tune along the lines of, [...]

yummy!

not to be all premature about it (there are, of course, several days left for annoyance to rear its unwanted head), but this week is turning out to be a distinct 180 from last. surgeries went *very* well this week. same exact procedures as last week, but time was cut in half and complications were [...]

random weekend tidbits

no long-winded stories, really, just a handful of thoughts about the things going on: on their last visit, Justin & Vi remarked that the holly bushes aligning my front walkway were getting a little out of control. which was true, i just hadn’t gotten around to doing anything about them. then Chris mentioned last [...]

civilization & how it runs

i had to jet out of work yesterday afternoon to make a 2 o’clock dentist appointment. in the hurry to disentangle myself from my colleagues (”oh, i need to just ask you a couple quick questions, about 5 minutes or so!”), i managed to leave behind my big tea jug. which meant only the 2-cup [...]

thick & thin

i had a rather crappy overall day yesterday, the sort where it got bad enough that i started promising to people today that i’d cuss less during surgery times. it was a new procedure for both of us wielding knives, so while the animals are fine, it took far longer than it needed to [...]

Do you have to go to church in order for your faith to grow?

Added a reply Nov 5 2007

i'll ditto BODs feelings quite strongly. once i left any kind of church, i've come up with a much clearer and more personal and more meaningful relationship with my concept of deity. i mean, isn't... Read More »

where those posts will actually be...

like many NaBloPoMo peeps, i will prolly not be x-posting here and over at my regular blog. so to catch all the potential words of wisdom, go hit fireweaver.wordpress.com on a daily basis. let's all hope that something there actually changes on a daily basis.
