The roads were cleared enough this morning to make the trip to work. I forced myself to get up this morning, work out (it was arm day..thank god I am CSR so that I don’t have any lifting), and then leave early enough to take it safe on the roads. I blasted my work out playlist the entire drive, naturally filled with A Day To Remember, Bring Me The Horizon, and Rise Against songs to jam out to.

My day is filled with training our new Veterinary Assistant. So far, it seems like she is retaining the information that we are giving her and asking good questions as the day goes on. This gives me hope for the rest of her training. It’s hard to stay in veterinary medicine, the mental load alone is hard to carry most days. She sort of reminds me of a younger me, when I entered Vetmed, I was only twenty-two, just like her.

It’s nice to sit back and train all day, it’s a nice cushion coming in from a three day long weekend. I’ll be here until 5pm tonight, hoping that there are plenty more phone calls, emails, and text messages to tend to prior to doing close down stuff to get out on time for my appointment.

Every 3-4 weeks I got ge tmy nails done by one of my friends. It is a nice little self care tool that I have done since my wedding. I enjoy having my nails done and having them look nice. I do think it has been helping them grow as well. They are long enough to hinder my typing, and I cannot wait to ask her to cut them down a little so that I can actually function.

of course, I have no idea what I am going to do for them today. I was thinking maybe a light purple with white flowers on my ring fingers? Maybe lavendar flowers – I’ll figure it out.

On another note, it has been seven days and I am still going strong on my New Years resolutions and goals. I have not drank Alcohol, I have been working out with only one rest day so far, and I am writing every day without failing. It’s nothing significant but, I am pretty proud of what I’m doing. If I can do simple tasks like this, I can do anything.

Now, I am going to finish my cup of coffee and enjoy the rest of my lunch break before diving into this afternoon. Nothing beats Caramel Macchiato.
