Lisna, good luck with your move and I hope you'll be comfortable and happy in your new surroundings when the labor and logistics are finally over!

I remember my last move. It's not easy, but it is a good time to purge crap. When my wife and I moved into our current place, people called us minimalists. We just didn't want lots of crap. Then we had twins. People don't call us minimalists anymore. Sigh.

Yes, I'd say that's apt.

Don’t know if I ever mentioned it anywhere on MB, but we got a puppy a year ago and he’s the sweetest chocolate lab ever. I’ll posts some pics later. Anyway this week he was having some clear stomach issues, diarrhea, vomiting, it was a mess. We took him in and they did lab work that came back fine and some X Rays. They saw an obstruction in his stomach so they scheduled surgery for today which was hopefully going to be pretty routine and he’d be out of there quickly.

Well then the worst nightmare happened, they call me saying they are struggling to remove the instruction and some of his intestinal tissue was looking really bad. Like, dead tissue levels of bad. The doctor told us that she wasn’t comfortable performing the kind of operation that would be necessary to cut out the dead intestinal tissue and tie it back up. So she started making calls to specialty surgeons in the area but everybody was all booked up. She told me she believed his odds of living were about 10% if we didn’t get him into the right surgeon today.

…fast forward a few hours. The doctor went back in and kept trying to get the obstruction out. Eventually it apparently started to budge and she pulled out whatever nonsense the dog managed to eat. At this point she said that the intestines were looking much better than they were earlier in the day. She no longer recommends the emergency surgery and says his odds of making it out of here are much, much higher. I don’t necessarily feel like I’m in the clear but it’s just been the craziest roller coaster of a day. Probably the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced. He’s only a year and two months old, he has so much life ahead of him

Wow

That reminds me of my inlaw's dog (standard poodle). We were dog sitting. One day he had very little energy, yet was breathing heavily. My wife and I took it to the vet. The dog's stomach turned, closing off internal airways. Apparently, that's a normal occurrence for a poodle. He went in for surgery. The wait felt like an eternity. He survived the surgery, but would encounter some more serious health problems a year later, and passed.

The work is whatever, I'm not struggling or anything with that, but getting up at 4 every day is gonna be the death of me. I'm so far from a morning person. Like getting up before 9 for me was pushing it tbh. Not anymore though just gotta suck it up and I work four 10 hour shifts so I get that 3 day weekend.

I'm also surprised how sore my feet have been the first couple days considering how much mileage and wear I've already put on em in my life. That's pretty much the worst thing but I imagine I'll get acclimated.

I know the feeling. I worked in a furniture factory (think the pressed wood desks you need to assemble yourself). I worked four nights a week, 5pm-3am. There was no air conditioning. I'd come home with saw dust stuck to my legs, arms, and back.

I hear you about getting up in the wee hours - it's really difficult, but you will most likely adjust in time. My daughter became an RN last year and she gets up at 4:30 a.m. and, like you, is also on her feet all day and works long shifts. I definitely feel for you!
