Apologies to anyone I may have freaked out with the previous lot of images (especially you Mary!) I promise the post below includes no guts or gore, and does not harm animals in any way!!!
Right now I feel like this pelican. I can’t decide whether I’m yawning or excited, but either way it’s a great feeling because I’m officially on holidays – YAY!!!

This is assuming I passed the OSCE that we’ve had over the last 2 days. I find out next Friday, and I’ll be pretty gutted if I don’t pass. I feel optimistic about my results, but with some of the stations it’s hard to know if I got enough of the criteria to pass or not – 6 minutes just isn’t long enough (for me anyway!) to take a full developmental, nutritional and paediatric history, or to do a complete cardio exam including peripheral signs, limb pulses, chest and back as well as summarise results!! Anyway, not much I can do about that now so I’m not going to dwell on it!
Instead I think I’m going to go for a walk. I have a dentist appointment at 2pm that I’m really not looking forward to, because I already know it’s going to be long and painful and traumatic. Earlier this year an old filling of mine broke off the side of one of my back molars. The dentist that repaired it was awful – she spent the entire time bitching at her assistant, while at the same time not doing the best job because there is now a big gap between that tooth and the adjacent one so that food always gets stuck there. I think I’ve bought about 4 boxes of floss in the last few months. So I’m getting this filling repaired, and a new one in another tooth. And yes I am feeling sorry for myself. I hate my teeth!!!
It doesn’t help that a house across the road is undergoing renovations involving an extremely loud drill that has been going non-stop for the last 45 minutes. The knowledge I will have an actual drill doing much the same thing in my own mouth in the next few hours is quite disturbing. I need to escape!!!

Good luck with the dentist. You poor bugger!
