No more monkeys jumping on the bed...
is this goodbye? only sort of.
AND I baked cookies this week!

I put on my gigantic overalls for the first time in a long time.
I found sand in the pockets.
That's essentially equivalent to reaching into my pocket and pulling out a little memory of heaven.

high-five friday number 14.
The seasons are changing. I can tell because the mornings are getting darker even though I wake up at the same time. I don't mind though. I love autumn. I delight in the scent that blows in with the cooler air and the magical color changes of leaves. Not to mention that my birthday is in November and I am especially fond of my birthday.
Yes, gross.
The point of my story is that I stepped out of my "I don't know how to do that" zone and did something new, something working hands-on with the animals that makes me feel more effective at my job. I've been a little afraid of stepping up and doing things that I've never done before, but now I have a job where I have more opportunities and I shouldn't let them pass me by. Next I'm going to learn how to draw blood. I've seen it enough times that I know the drill, I think it's time to acquire the skill. (And I absolutely must leave that cheesy rhyme!) Right now I don't intend to keep this work as a career, but it is a possibility. I've come to learn that I cannot know what will happen with life, so I may as well be as prepared as possible. Might as well dive in and get my hands dirty. I love learning and I love gross medical stuff.
And now you may exit my bizarrely biology-loving mind. You might want to wash your hands.
