the woman for all places and no down time

So this has been a marathon few days...


I was at this amazing conference all weekend, and my brain is full and I've got tons of ideas and I'm in a bit of a short circuit a the moment, so maybe sometime later I'll write about the exciting stuff I learned.


Today I found out my mom went to the ER last night and was admitted to the hospital. She should be released tomorrow, but it is never fun finding out your mom is sick enough to be in the ER. She apparantly hasn't been feeling well for a week, but didn't tell anyone. She did go to the doctor a few days ago, and was put on blood pressure reducing meds. It sounds like she had a reaction to the new meds, but it isn't totally clear.


My co-worker's husband stopped by work today and he and I chatted for a few minutes, and he asked me if I was Italian. (I'm not at all). He told me he had a friend who looked a lot like me, and he's never seen anyone that looks like either me or his friend. I told him I actually hear this a lot, (peole thinking I'm any number of different things) particularly when I travel, and he said it must be because I'm a woman for all places.


Tonight we did some camelid wrangling...we trimmed Aquirius's toenails and hand-sheared the baby...I'll have to snap some pictures, because he looks a little scraggly now. Shearing with hand shears (not electric clippers) is hard...trying to make it look even is really difficult, especially since this is only the 3rd time ever that we've attempted to use the hand shears.


It has been a full several days with basically no down time. For those who've emailed me or called me, I'm sorry I've been delinquent with answering. Things should be a little better soon.
