Sun rushing through the curtains, strong and low. Glad to be home, D made a good dinner, now I sit, decompress.
Not a bad day, but we were in the only room running from 1400- 1820. A lot to be put away at the very end, and just me and the scrub to do it all. I moved as much out as soon as possible, the 20 liter suction machines x2, the C-arm and monitor, cleaned all the foot pedals during the final closure, returned extra supplies as best I could while finishing the case. While BtheScrub took his table to decontam, I disassembled the bed and put the positioners away, moved the hip cart back to it's home in the hall. The fellow (bless his heart) took the x-ray aprons and put them away. I was a bit irritated that the charge nurse left at some point, without even checking on us, or letting us know she was going. Didn't get everything before he got back, but he only had to do a few more tasks as I finished mine.
I do like Regina Spektor, although I'm not a fan of piano music, her voice is amazing.
Oh, and did you hear about the cows?
Obviously, I'm in a bit of a writing dry spell, but keeping up the practice. Using the forms to move my brain.

Imagine milking a wild auroch. What fascinating information.
I suppose any species has to start somewhere- fascinating. There are plenty of cows around now that aren't too domesticated! Thinking about it, it is the cow's inquisitiveness that probably helped domestication.
That was really interesting about the cows. And not forgetting how important they've been as draught animals too.
If you haven't yet, Guns, Germs & Steel is a fascinating, if sometimes difficult read.
