So, insomnia has struck again. I am out of medication, so I haven't been sleeping for the past few days. I see my doctor on Thursday. In the meantime, I have been coughing and sneezing with a runny nose. Normally, I wouldn't be too concerned, but in this time of the virus, I'm taking no chances.
One of the girls I work with just got over Covid last week. So, naturally, I was a little worried. But, alas I am fine. Since I was up, I took my home rapid result test and it came up negative. Of course, it could be wrong. I've had this runny nose going on two weeks now. If it doesn't stop, I may just schedule a test at CVS. But, I do feel a bit better about the whole situation.
Work is going great by the way. I really like my job. And just as I thought, I am good at it. Although I did forget to put the cash drawer key away last night. I'll probably hear about that this morning. But, all in all I think I'm doing pretty well. I had my first salty client yesterday. It was a lady who only wants the doctor to look at her dog. She doesn't want the techs looking at him at all. Anyway, her appointment was at 1 pm, and the doctor had just left for lunch. Needless to say, she was a little heated. She wanted to speak to the practice manager, but Amy way not in yesterday. So, I was all apologetic. We ended up calling the doctor to have him come right back. She had her visit and went on her way.
On my 3rd day, we had three euthanasia patients, so that was something. On my 4th day, we had a cat just die while in the office And, just two days ago, we had someone walk in with a cat that showed up DOA. It had apparently fallen out of a tree. It was sad. It was a very pretty long haired Siamese.
I'm not getting upset at these things. I honestly don't know if I'm just getting better at handling my emotions or if something is wrong. I mean, I get flustered from time to time, but I'm not freaking out like I normally would have in the past. I guess I can discuss it with my therapist. I see her on the 14th.
It will be the second anniversary of mom's death in a couple of weeks. I feel okay about it actually. I mean what am I going to do, dress in black and spend the day cowering in the corner? No, she would be so mad if I did that. Ok, maybe not mad, but she wouldn't like it. Maybe if I have the day off and some money, we can go out to dinner.
We had a Chinese buffet last night in celebration of the Chinese New Year. It was kind of cool. The food was fabulous. Pam and Steff and their mom, Miss Allison were here. They've become part of the family. Mickey wasn't here, she was at work. Which is fine, all she does is sulk anyway. She is so jealous of Steffanie and Erica it's pitiful. She's been talking about moving out, which is fine if that what she wants to do. I think she wants us to beg her to stay, which isn't going to happen. She wants us to be her surrogate family, I think, but she won't meet us half way. She has complained to Erica about her relationship with me, which is puzzling because, we don't have a relationship. I am old enough to be her mom, hence we have no shared life experiences. I like her just fine I guess. She is sort of loud for me, but other than that I think she's okay. I guess she wants to be my friend. I'll give a little more I guess.
Well, I guess that's all for now. My computer is acting weird. I really hate the technology that's taken over the world. I suppose, I could just go back to keeping a journal. But then nobody would be able to read it. lol.
