Matthew's Journal

Well, I feel somewhat better now. Last night was a bit of a pain - I had a great struggle to inject a horse which is becoming almost dangerous to treat, and then during my 3am checks I had to hose down a kennel which the same flipping greyhound has shat all over 3 or 4 times in the last couple of days. This morning, I got up at 8, went to rounds at 8.30 after breakfast, and was able to be back in bed by 9.30. Despite a short interruption at 11, I was able to sleep until 2.30, and then have a bath, so I'm feeling less short of sleep now (and a bit less depressed - more fed up than depressed today). So, hopefully if I can get through today then the week ahead shouldn't be so bad.

Tonight will be the remains of yesterdays pasta sauce for dinner (with freshly-cooked pasta :)

Things I forgot to bring (and should bring next time):

• Some cash! [thanks to jon for fixing this]
  
• cooking oil [thankfully there is enough "communal" stuff knocking around]
