Cardboard Again

Jack's taken to origami 

Jack memorized the Jabberwocky for school
Mary tried on his mask.

For portable convenience.  I mean, who has time for anything else?

Kitten Shot #2

This youngster spent the day with me in clinic.  The cat that looked at me a few weeks ago from the exam table and said. "What? This is my bed!" is a mother and left her kitten with me so she could get  a few things done.

She used to deliver her litters in a cabinet in the women's operating theatre locker room, until she was evicted.  Then she was in the maternity ward for a while (quite appropriate) and now my clinic is daycare.  It's a tough life as a single working mother.

One of the housekeeping staff recently listed her work duties:

Linen maintenance and washing
Floor mopping
trash removal
table cleaning
bed-making
cat removal.

Anecdotes

Always be prepared to ...  in this case, use a piece of paper towel to clean a switch.

First nice warm sunny day in a while, so all the patients' family members decided to do the washing.

Gratuitous lego picture.  I was just pretty impressed.  Incidentally, don't mess with Santa Claus - he looks pretty tough inside that APU.

Our children call this, "The Attack Faucet" because as you turn it it does nothing..nothing...nothing..then....WHAM - you get wet.

Today I was thinking of things I was grateful for:

1. All of you.

2. A hot water heater.  I get about 2 minutes less hot water than I would like, but it's enough to complete a shower plus about 30 seconds.

3. Two days in a row off.

4. Bangladesh.

5. Laura

6. A good Friend.

7. Novels.  Just finished two entertaining and easy-reading novels.  It'd been a while.
