Teeth and Tea

A small animal medicine test, bovine palpation lab (e.g. preg checking), mid-week meeting with Riverside Christian Fellowship, a tooth extraction lecture/lab -- and thus I have been brought to the end of the "work-week". But not really, because tomorrow we are doing a dental prophylaxis lab and then I work in the library. It has been a good week.

Hm, some more details.
Bovine palpation lab... it's fun to feel the babies floating around in the uteri -- everyone should have the chance sometime in their life. It's fun to search for ovaries and try to feel for CL's and follicles. The eyewear-style ultrasound machine is very neat. Perhaps one would say it looks futuristic -- goggles and all. A bit more height could be beneficial when it comes to palpating Holsteins -- but I really don't want to be any taller than I am. Today we didn't get to palpate -- the guy at the dairy was unavailable or something. Sad...

The mid-week meeting with Riverside Christian Fellowship... I arrived late (sort of because I was trying to get there after a friend) at Loren and Tina's (this month's hosts). After the meeting, I was shaking hands with Tina, cup of ice tea in the opposite hand. The action set up waves in my cup. The tea sloshed onto my dress, Carrie's dress, and the vinyl/leather couch. Imperfect action #2 for the night.
And then I was talking to Carrie, expressing my thoughts regarding something not strictly personal but not exactly whole-audience material, and here I was being too loud and the whole room (albeit small) of people could have heard me if they'd been paying attention. Hmph. But somehow, I have done enough potentially embarrassing things that they don't bother me like they used to. That state of emotions has its pluses and minuses.

I extracted a canine tooth from a dead cat -- yippee, the root didn't break off!
