#NerdsUnite: The secret life of a veterinary technician
<editorsnote> Nerds, meet my buddy Lindsay. She and I met ... well, somewhere in the social space. I think we might have started talking through this site directly, then through facebook - maybe ... I'm not sure. But she's awesome. I talk to her on twitter almost every day, and she's really rad and TOTALLY a big huge animal lover. Like crazy huge!! In these series of posts she will be talking about her life and random adventures with sometimes more than two legged creatures. I guess there's only one more thing left to say ... HIT IT LINDSAY!! </editorsnote>

Update on my little world...I apologize in advance this may not flow well (aka random possibly run-on sentences) I have a headache :(
Post Thanksgiving--I'm slowly getting out of this rut or bout of depression. I try to keep myself from thinking negatively. I try to use that optimist list I wrote about. I put on positive or upbeat music kinda loud and jam out. Sometimes it really helps, it soothes my soul. Problem is I have a terrible time remembering names of artists and songs, thankfully there is spotify and pandora to help me. Sooo I would totally appreciate if anyone wanted to suggest something on twitter @thecraftafarian for me to listen to. Especially if you have spotify and you already have a playlist to share with me!
On top of my regular work schedule we had the holiday madness of visiting families (mine and davids), ive been pet sitting all week and coming home now and then to check on our pets while david is at work. I feel perpetually exhausted and my time management has gotten even worse.
Getting ready for holiday functions I realized I dont have much clothes to wear and hardly any that fit. I feel unhealthy and I think I look the part although I'm told otherwise. Time to do something about it. Its been a crazy week to start eating better and exercising routinely. I recieved a klout perk for Jillian Michaels fitness web planner and phone app. It seems to make things really easy if you are willing to just follow her meal and exercise plans. It even has shopping lists. Im going to play around with it and use it as a guide but I seriously need to get in shape.
This week our schedule at the clinic is slow. That happens around the holidays especially in lower economy areas. I dont think Ive mentioned it before but I kinda run my clinics social media sites. While I didnt create our facebook account and page I do manage it and update it. I may even start a twitter account but I'm not sure how much that could help a veterinary clinic. Also I spoke with our manager and vet/owner about doing a foursquare check-in special. I love using foursquare to check out places and I always check to see if the location we plan to go to has any specials. Hey I like a good bargain!! I was thinking free nail trim for dogs or cats with check in. Looove social media!
Thanksgiving wasnt so bad. I ended up dragging my friend Myke and my boyfriend along to my parents house. Good food and vodka yay! But I didnt stay too long as I wanted to get home to my pot, pups, and relax before I had to go on to the next obligation.
Do any of you ever feel like you just never get anything done? Its really been bugging me lately, like life is sorta spinning soo slowly out of control. Maybe you just have to go with it or make it what you want.
Well I'm exhausted! Please share any music suggestions, fitness tips or general life-self-help ideas with me!
I could use all the help I can get!
<3 Lindsay
