A long hot mess of a day

Which was just hot and messy. Started with nightmares which left me dazzled and slow this morning. I walked out without breakfast. No problem I'll go to McDonalds. the hell i will, cars were backed up onto the street. Stopped at the Marathon station which is under new and Indian management which believes in lots of incense and no longer carrying fresh donuts. I totally forgot Subways now has breakfast (god knows what)

I start my lab (I have back to back nursing anatomy classes). I didn't have the monday's lab because of the holiday so I was going to do something easy. In my dazed, sleepy and hungry state, I forgot and did the scheduled lab. 2 hours of explaining all the muscles they had to know. At the end, I ask, 'any questions?' One of them raises his hand and asked, 'weren't we supposed to do histology today?"

blink blink. son of a bitch. You'd think someone would have said something BEFORE the end of the 2 hour lab. So then I had to repeat the wrong lecture (and explaining that I was tired, dumb and cranky so sit down and STFU)

I only have 10 min. breaks today in which everyone wanted everything.

After class in my office hour, i get some of the stuff fixed, some of the computer stuff is a mess and only IT can fix it since I don't have administrative rights to do what was needed, then i couldn't fax my student loan bullshit because while I had the envelope I didn't have the paperwork insie with the account number.

Then I got a call for the vet to reschedule Soul. I whined (sad to say) WHY? Boy, I regretted that tone. One of my vet's assistant's 27 year old brother died from a sudden development of a peanut allergy (the poor assistant is 22 and has now lost his parents and his brother), They took Soul later in the day.

I get him there, I try to read while the vet plays catch up and on one side of me is an old lady holding an older Pom who was obviously there to go for a very long nap and she's crying. Soul's crying. Winnie the corgi insists I PET HER NOW. SParky the Pit Bull out does her by climbing in my lap. YOU WILL HOLD ME.

Finally we get in to the vet and she looks at his ear, and gets ready to clean it when I mention that Sirhumpsalot has made the other two cats afraid to come down to floor level. She puts himin his box and says I'll keep him. You go get the low cost neuter voucher from Perennial Cat shelter and just give it to me tomorrow. I'll put him out neuter him AND clean his ears to the nth degree while he's out.

So I stop at the shelter. This place is a mystery as to whenit's open but a light is on and a car it out there. NO sign saying hours anywhere but the door is unlocked. I go in but no one is about. I stand there for 5 minutes and the volunteer suddenly appears. I scare the hell out of her and naturally she has NO clue where the vouchers are. come back when the owner is here tomorrow after 4. (I hope so since it's supposed to snow).

I come home and try to relax i n the tub with a book and as soon as I recline, I start coughing and can't stop. Whee.

I need to write. As fun as the meme going around today looks I'll probably have to pass.
