2001-07-05 I spent twelve hours at the vet's today, I was only supposed to go in for six. We jsut got busy toward the end, and I ended up being the only one that stayed behind to help the doctor with an emergency call. I think he is going to hire me after summer is over, so it was worth the extra hours. I managed to stick myself with a needle today, quite painful. I really am getting better around there. I was allowed to give atropine today, and the doc trusted me enough to not even check my dossage or anything. It felt good to be trusted like that. Yesterday, we had a rain storm in the afternoon. It was raining really hard, and all the young children were running around in it, and I kind of smiled, and as my cousin stared at me in disbelief, I went out into the rain, and stood there. My face was looking toward the sky, my arms outstretched, as the rain soaked through my shirt. I loved it. It reminded me of being little, of a time when I was so free. I came back under the shelter, and my cousin asked me why I had done that. I just smiled, and said because I wanted to be free. She gave me a weird look, and shrugged. <-//->
