Ugh. I had to do something pretty gnarly at work today. This huge 115 lb rottweiler had a foxtail stuck in her lower eyelid, and I had to help get it out. This involved shining a light into the are, using tweezers to hold the multiple inflamed eyelids open, and using a q-tip to try and sweep the foxtail out. It was pretty hairy, because you have to do all of this simultaneously. Keep in mind that I don't even have any training. I was hired there to do things like mop and clean litter boxes, but somehow, I end up doing crazy shit like this. 
I don't understand it.
Anyway, the poor thing nearly bit my hand of while i was doing this, and let me tell you, this dog could definately claim a bodypart or two if she got her teeth wrapped around something. Luckily she wasn't angry, just painful, so no limbs were lost
. Then we got to do this cool thing where we put some special liquid in her eyes that is activated by black light. It was pretty neat looking. This is done to see if the cornea is scratched, etc. It's safe, too.
Anyway, we got the foxtail out, and all seems to be well. yay!
On the negative side of things, I am sick off my ass. I haven't felt this bad sinceI had mono in like, 8th grade.
i hate it. It was hard not to vomit on that dog earlier, because all that bloody eye flesh was making me feel worse. I hate being sick. It sucks. 
I haven't thought of a way to get david back, but I'm going to find a way. I wish sometimes that I didn't have to work there evryday becuase then i have to see him more than everyone else does. GRRRRR He's going to get it.
Another thing that sucks is that Val, one of my favorite people there, is moving soon. It's good for her, becuase she got accepted to UC Davis vet school, but we will all miss her. She kind of keeps everything together.
Hmmmm. All I seem to write about is either how bad things are or work. That's lame. But I don't really know what else to say.
I have an amazing family (extended). I have 6 aunts, 6 uncles, and ever one of them has children. I have a bazillion cousins, and a couple second cousins too. And every single person in my family is amazing. It's really hard to believe that I had the luck to land where I did. I'm adopted, so I really did hit the jackpot. There's so much love in my family, and I know enough about my birthmother and her family to know that life would be very different for me(not in a good way), if I hadn't been given up for adoption. I think iI owe my birthmother that more than for her giving birth to me. I am very greatful for my life and circumstances. I see so many families that are fucked up or just unhappy. It's so sad. I wish people would try to just care for eachother and let bygones be bygones. That would help so many families so much.
ok thats enough for now.
