Killing Time

Okay, it looks like my 1:45 patient is not going to turn up at all, considering that it is 2:38 at the moment. I've done all my charting and figure I might as well put some spare time to good use updating what the heck I've been up to for the past 9 months.

Feb-June: A second massage therapist joined my clinic but had to leave again when her husband was transferred to the interior of BC. I kind of figured she wasn't in it for the long haul and wasn't terribly surprised when she left. It was a good educational experience and I learned a lot about what to ask when I hired someone else.

Theo and I did a 4-day camping trip to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. It was very lovely and a great trip but I was totally disgusted by all the giant flying ants. They should be banned. Yick! We went to the hot springs in Olympic National Forest and soaked in their stinky, sulphuric wonder. After an hour or so I couldn't stand the stench anymore but my muscles felt fantastic and we were able to take advantage of the shower facilities in the complex. Hooray for less stench! Hopefully we can get more days off next year so we can head to the Oregon Coast.

July-Sept: A new massage therapist joined the practice and is still going strong today. We seem like a better fit and I'm really glad to have her here.

Sept-Present: An acupuncturist joined the practice as well so both of my clinic rooms are being utilized most days. There still are a couple gaps but I really can't complain. It is nice to have other people helping me out in paying for expenses.

Okay, gotta sign off now. Will finish soon.

Rummy resigns!

I know it's been a shockingly long time since I posted anything but my new business has been taking up most of my time and creativity. I did need to break out of my written hiatus to mention my joy at the news of Donald Rumsfeld's resignation. I am thrilled to not have to see his smug face and hear his condescension for anyone who disagrees with his ideas. I don't know much about the new guy but count me tickled pink to see what he can do.
