Wake me if you’re out there

Day Zero Project

 I didn’t realize it had been a week since I last wrote.
SOOO….

Crazy lady from the animal hospital ended up calling me back, and asked me to come in for a working interview,…. that was yesterday. I’m still processing it all. All this time, it’s been me watching all of the vet stuff on tv, primarily animal cops… and then to be there actually experiencing it… it was surreal. Extremely. It definitely felt like a dream, seeing yourself in your mind doing something for so long and then it actually happen was just …. intense
It was one of their busier hectic days with it being the day after the fourth of July…. first thing I got to see, a 17 year old dog, every little bone showing in it’s body cause it’s stopped eating, and has lost all it’s hair, and is blind… and the owner won’t put it to sleep even though it’s in a lot of pain… shortly after was a cat with a prolapsed rectum, which essentially was it’s intestines falling out. The owner wanted to see if they would be able to just make him comfortable so they could spend one last night with him and then put him to sleep the next day. They couldn’t and they had to put him to sleep then instead.
But there was other doggies in and out that were healthy and happy and I got to help with vaccines and blood drawing and removing stitches and whatnot… so, don’t officially have the job yet but I was the only applicant to actually show up so I feel kinda confident. Even if I don’t, it was a very eventful eye opening experience….
So for now I’m anticipating the future, and sorting out some other things to try and make happen in August…. I keep myself positive, and I remain hopeful, no matter the shittiness of things that might be happening. There’s no light without the dark.

Love,
Amy
 

"Living close to the ground
Is seventh heaven cause there are angels all around
Among my frivolous thoughts
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts
Wake me if you’re out there
I was sleeping with the night light unplugged
With a note on the rocking chair that says-
I’ve been dreaming of the life I once loved,
So wake me if you’re out there."
