Currently curled up on the floor in front of the heater. So exhausted after million paws walk today…

Violin fingers…I couldn’t be happier!

I was trying to be Taylor swift in the movie ‘Valentine’s Day’.

New crochet project completed. Aren’t the eggs adorable? Gave it to my mum.
I’m snuggled in bed in Minchinbury now, at Y and V’s place. Just had my third violin lesson with Athena. Have also emailed K the first draft of my thesis - feeling apprehensive.
Public practice going well so far; heaps of nice people. They attempt crosswords everyday there and I have conceded that I am quite useless at them, especially the cryptic ones. Going to eastern creek tomorrow to bleed military dogs, yay!
…Random thought, but do you ever think its justified for a woman to feel proud that she can drive and operate a manual? Just wondering.

Today was my first time playing and singing at someone’s wedding. They had chosen such a beautiful Sunday too - Divine Mercy Sunday.
It was a beautiful chapel at a place called little bay. It was a small but cosy building with stained glass that looked out into the ocean.
Road trip tomorrow - driving by myself to ACT!

Flirting with a Violin by Anna Razumovskaya
Today was a really special day. I had my first violin lesson.
The lesson was actually a very long overdue birthday present from a friend who knew that I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the violin.
It turned out to be a fantastic hour! It’s completely different to piano, and it’s so technically difficult as well. I don’t know how far I’ll go with it, but I do hope I will be good at it, or at least try to practice hard at it.

Status Epilepticus
Today I saw a particularly sad case. A dog had a seizure and the owners ran out of diazepam to give it, so it was brought it. It was given a dose of diazepam.
However, it then seized again in the afternoon and two doses of diazepam and phenobarbitone were given to it. The seizure also lasted about 25 minutes, which is an abnormally long time.
We thought the dog was fine, and were about to discharge it so it could be monitored at home. However at the time of discharge the dog then seized again. It was clearly not refractory to any of the treatments which usually worked for it (I should mention that the dog had also been on phenobarbitone and potassium bromide daily).
It was a sad decision that the owners made to euthanse it at the end of the day. Even while it was being put down, the dog was in a fit and was clearly not itself; it even tried to snap at its owners.
It’s just sad sometimes. I could tell they weren’t expecting to say goodbye to their dog so soon. True, we could have gone on fighting, but alternatives from then on would have included something like a propofol CRI and there’s really no point in keeping seizures under control if all you’re going to be doing is putting a dog under anaesthesia…and even then there would have been no guarantee that the dog’s epilepsy would still be under control after that.

I made these fridge magnets about 2 months ago. Rement is a Japanese brand that makes these lovely minatures, and all I did was stick them onto some magnetic pieces that I cut out of magnetic sheets I bought from Daiso.
Best display of them!
