how odd

It has been a horrible week and a fantastic week.
To start with Lucy (the saint) attacked another dog. This time someone BESIDES me and JP witnessed it. This is a good thing. We needed someone else to say "enough is enough" and help us do what was right. So now Lucy is in a better place where she knows how to romp with dogs and not try to kill them. Better that we got her than someone who would have been cruel to her.

Then there's the job interview. I had 2 interviews with a few surgeons and didn't get the job. I am okay with that. Don't get me wrong, I really wanted the position but I know the girl that took it and I am happy for her. For real. I am. It's still frustrating to be back at square one. Admin at my job has been so amazingly helpful with all this. Dr. B feels guilty for leaving. Yes, this would not have come up had she stayed on--but she needs to move on for her and her family and I do too.
I was planning on school again. When I got the interviews for surgery I put those plans on hold. By NOT getting the job, could this be a sign that I need to hurry up and schedule my classes? Is this a sign to COMPLETELY turn our world up side down and move to...Alaska? Okay, maybe not.

My best best best best friend ever had a baby today! I welcome Zaelyn Autumn Waldron to the world! She is beautiful and looks so much like her mother. Merissa did a beautiful job and her wonderful husband was by her side a calm all the way there. They already have a daughter named Adrien--she is 9. She was so excited about her baby sister. It was a GREAT afternoon and I am so so glad that I was there! I love you Waldrons!

I'm going to wrap this up. Be thankful for what you have and love each other!

Don't call me a hippy!

I'm frankly relieved to hear about Lucy but I know it must have been very sad for you all :(.

So Doc B is leaving huh? Finding another job right now must be scary. I think going back to school is a GREAT call if you guys can manage it. Even if it means radically altering your lifestyle for a while I feel like it will be totally worth it in the end. Sucks you won't get to work with Dr. B anymore though, I know you loved it there.

Congrats to Rissy!

Lucy is a relief and sadness all tied together. There was no help for her but I HATED giving up.

Thanks for the encouraging words. You never know what the future may hold.
