I had an awesome 3 days off! Friday afternoon had Mexican for Cinco de Mayo. I was off work all weekend and Monday.

Saturday was relaxing, slept in, lounged around for a bit, had some me-time. I found out that closing on the house is FINALLY here! Everything is set and soon I will officially be a homeowner for the first time in my life....

Sounds like you've got a good bit of shoveling in your future.  Oh well, chiropractor's kids need new cars too.  :)

I've been blogging a lot recently. Forgive me if I ramble or am long-winded in them.

Today was just ridiculous at work. We were so busy. We are training assistants to be technicians and they are realizing how difficult it is.

I feel like we sedated everything. One thing we sedated was a pitbull who is kind of out of control. He is a big...

Today is as close to a religious holiday as I get. I'm spending it working a double 😐😒 dammit. Maybe if the TV isn't being occupied later I'll watch A New Hope to celebrate. At least for now I came home for lunch and snapped a quick pic with my Build-a-Bear Chewie. He's adorable! And his blue eyes are more beautiful than mine.

@jaxons they are like an ocean blue/green. I like them, but I feel like it's a muddled color. Eyes are amazing to look at and maybe since I see mine all the time I don't notice if they are special.

First work day of the week for me was Tuesday afternoon. We had an emergency, small dog attacked by big dog. Grabbed its throat and shook it. Dog was in shock. I got an IV catheter in her, shock fluids, pain meds, clipped all her bite wounds. She came around but then her lungs filled with fluid. I took xrays and she looked clear. More...

Glad you had a great day, @cvtgrrl_shan . Hopefully, the little dog will make a full recovery.

I had a good night...

My dinner was delicious. We had the poutine of the day: short ribs, gravy, peppers and onions, white cheese curds, and tater tots.

I had a tuna nicoise sandwich [not pictured]. I had 4 beers, my typical limit is 2 since I prefer not to drink. I had 2 German hefeweizen beers with banana and clove notes. Finished dinner with

@littlejohn22 @chefdaddy German weiss beers are ny favorite. My absolute favorite is König Ludwig Weiss, with a lemon wedge, I could drink it all night.

@amberetta I'm ok with that sometimes. I think we hold a mystery and if someone awesome enough wants to unlock it, then they will be rewarded with our nerdy sexiness. And I am pretty adventerous with food. I will try about anything. Come to Chitown and I'll take you out 😉

With an old co-worker/friend from my days working at the outdoor concert venue. He was the proverbial 'dirty old man' and I would happily find attractive ladies for him to glance at. He has remained a friend since then, that was 15 years ago! We meet occasionally for lunch or dinner. Tonight we're going to a local brewery. I'm excited...except for the hipsters. I digress....

@glass42 I did! He is always a blast to hang with.

@littlejohn22 I went beyond my capacity for beer. I had 4. 2 German beers. 1 dark porter. And after I decided to stop for 1 more drink, I had a lemony pilsner.

With the exception of a crying outburst this morning, I have managed to stay in good spirits today. You see, today marks 1 year since my grandma passed away. She was such an amazing lady, funny, sweet, giving, all the things good grannies are. She, along with my grandpa, helped raise me. Like a lot of kids from my generation, I was a latchkey kid....

@jaxons the kitten didn't make it 😢 I knew it wouldn't, the owner said it hadn't been normal since it was born. I gave my best effort, I'm glad it felt a little better before it passed and hopefully wasn't in pain.
jaxons:
😭😭 Poor little thing.  You did what you coukd.  Sometimes that's all we can do.  🐱

I saw NIN twice in the 90's - one of my favorites ... Still have a concert shirt that is barely wearable. One more time before my old ass dies would be great!

@loucian I've seen them 10 times in the past 20 years. Every show was more mindblowing than the one before it. The latest album, Hesitation Marks, left much to be desired but this song is a gem

First and foremost would be the assumption that I am a bitch. This applies to my work environment. I can be quiet at work, there are times I just don't want to have a conversation so I sit back and listen to others or find something to do instead. Most times I can be short, I don't raise my voice but I will be stern...

You have always come across as really personable on SG. Not just a beautiful lady but a lovely person in my eyes. I have no experience with what you do but I can only imagine that seriousness and professionalism could only ever be the way to do the job. 
cvtgrrl_shan:
@jamesg7811 there are times that I goof off, dance, joke, act a general fool. I sing all the time to the radio. But when it comes down to it I take my job seriously. It seems I'm so much of a bitch that they can't see past it.
