Hurricane Arthur swept through last night. This about sums up my feelings on the matter:

Okay okay, it did get quite windy and a lot of people (including myself) lost power. But that was just an excuse for me to read more junk instead of anesthesia notes for Monday and go to bed at a decent hour. The power was back up this morning and I made a good sized breakfast and have been lounging in my PJs ever since. I think I'll go to the track to watch the ponies go this afternoon (was cancelled last night) instead of reading for anesthesia.

Speaking of my next rotation, I'm really going to miss community practice. On Thursday I spayed a cat and it went really well and on Friday we did a feral cat spay/neuter clinic and I got to spay two and neuter one. These two spays were really difficult: one was lactating and had a cystic ovary and the other was pregnant. Everything went well, it was just a little trickier than the simple one I'd done the day before. And although surgery still isn't my cup of tea, I feel a lot more comfortable with it having gotten to do three spays and a neuter by myself. So that's nice :)

In other news, Danny is coming to visit in a little less than six weeks, yay! I'm starting to think about stuff we can do over the long weekend - it'll be nice to finally see each other when the weather is good for a change (it's always winter in Maine when we meet up and invariably snows at least part of the time). Two more blocks to get through, first!
