...ease on down the road

Best. Cat. Ever

Today marks the 1 week mark until we move -- I can't believe the time has come so quickly.  The packers come at the end of the week and the moving truck next Monday.  CRAZY!  I've never moved, except every semester in the dorms and in Kappa, which basically means I'm a pro at loading a two-door sports car to it's max capacity.  Luckily, I now have Martin (my SUV) for this move because this time I am moving the rest of my own belongings, along with Little Bear, into my rental house.  Bear hates me for a few days after the 10 minute drive to the vet.  Needless to say, after a 2-hour drive, I cant imagine he's going to feel like snuggling that night.  Say your prayers that he adjusts to the move quickly! 

Jerry's BBQ sauce

One of the highlights of the past week was seeing my grandpa almost 3 times in one week!  For those of you that don't know, my grandpa is going on 97 years old, lives alone in the house my father grew up in, and is still in ridiculously good shape.  Every weekend my dad goes up and has lunch with him at the Rooks County Medical Center.  Two summers ago when my grandma was sick the hospital took incredible care of her (and my grandpa).  Even though my grandpa doesn't have a reason to go there anymore, he still enjoys going up every couple of days for lunch.  To show how amazing this place is (and how much BBQ sauce my dad uses.. on EVERYTHING) take a look at this picture.  Obviously, we go there a lot.

Another highlight of this past week was getting to intravenously inject a dog to knock him out for surgery.  After my boss told me what to do, I went for it and hit the vein on my first try.  The dog was out in 2 seconds, but I still told him what a good patient he was :)

This will be my last week of work at Hays Vet and I'm definitely not ready to leave.  Even though I no longer live here, I know if I ever come back I will always have a job.  Stay tuned for updates on the big move!  As sad as I am to leave the home and town I grew up in, a house doesn't make a home, a family does :)
