So, on Wednesday night (in the midst of me becoming deeply crabby because of my knee), my stethoscope decided it was done working. All I was getting was a bunch of really loud popping noises, which is most definitely not the most pleasant thing in the world.
So I desperately looked up FAQ on stethoscopes to see if this was a fixable thing, and learned that stethoscopes need a airtight seal in their tubing to work.
Two new earbuds later and we're back in business. MUCH cheaper than the new stethoscope I was fearing. (Especially since the one I have now was a gift from the shelter I used to work at)
In other news, my last patient went away yesterday with her owner (the one that sort of fails at anatomy), and I called back the one I was growling about on Wednesday, only to learn that not only was she treating me like I didnt' know anything, she wasn't listening either. Repeated instructions for her dog again. Verbatim from the instructions I read to her the night before. And from the written copy I gave her. For the love of pete.
My current patient is made of wiggle and adorableness (and I should go take a pic because she is adorable) and her owners keep talking about how they have so much faith in us and I'm a little worried mom is giving us god-like status because. Um. Sometimes things just don't go perfectly and if she keeps going on like that we're gonna get jinxed.
My roommate's cat evidently has something against us sleeping, because he spent most of the night finding plastic things in our rooms to lick. Like the wrapping for new books or plastic bags or other noisy things like that. I'm not sure why there was an anti-sleep protest, but I really hope it doesn't happen again.
In other, other news, I think I've gone ketotic. The irony, it bites. I'll need to start a food diary or something, because I must not be eating as much as I think I am. Thiiiiis could be why I haven't been losing weight. *facepalms at self*

Keep two Snickers energy bars (or any, really, but those are nommy and have lots of calories and protien) in your purse or anywhere you can grab from on the run. When you eat one, always replace it.
This is how I don't fall down and sleep in public on a regular basis.
