So, now that I gave in my notice and have things rolling I realized that there is so much to do.  And I realized this, it was just so much easier to ignore it!  So, out come the lists, as I have a way of doing.  I started by getting my transcript sent from Guelph as for some reason they feel they need it for a UK license.  I sent my resume to a friends clinic.  I got myself enrolled with a recruiting company… then felt automatically like the worst vet ever.  You have to fill out this form as to what your areas or expertise are.  The first, like, 15 things I couldn’t even put down as having basic skills in.  Things like thoracic surgery, cardio surgery, orthopedics.  Yep, felt like a bit of a downer.

Top this off with the fact that I am seriously Dr. Death the last week.  In the last week I have put down an 8 year old, lovely, beautiful cat (cancer), an 8 week old kitten (strange, severe congenital abnormality), a 3 year old cat (beautiful abyssinian that likely had leukemia), an 18 year old cat with the most hideous eye tumor you have ever seen, and another one of my patients got hit by a car on the weekend.  Yep, I’ve written my share of sympathy cards in the last while, definitely adding to the downer.

I suppose at the end of the day though, I have to realize that I am heading out of town and heading towards an adventure.  I am totally looking forward to it, but at the same time there are so many details to be worked out.  I just want it all to fix itself and that obviously won’t happen.  So, now we have to rent the house, find jobs, save money, get over there, get a vet license, find a place to live and all the rest.  I am leaving my security behind… and that’s a scary thing!!  I just want everything to get done now! One day at a time…
