Quick exam, then I came home, and got called again just as I was getting back to sleep about midnight. And problems with the CT machine. I got through the exam, but it was arduous. The table wouldn't index properly, and it would fault and need to be reset every time that it tried.

Then about 03:00 (I really get my times mixed up, it might've been 02:00 or 04:00) I got called again. This time I thought that I would outsmart the machine and use the spiral technique that we use on everything but head CTs, and it worked just fine... except the patient was very uncooperative (unintentionally, the patient's temp was 105°F) and it took three tries to get even a sub-par exam.

When I got home, I set the alarm so that I could get up and call the engineer about 07:00, about the earliest I figgered he's want to hear from me. Then I called the hospital and told them that I was off call at 08:00.

Karen went with Kim and Matt to Parsons to pick up GED's cat and some other stuff out of the house, and I mostly slept off and on until about 15:00.

Went out to Best Buy to get a MIDI cord and a mike cord, so I'm all fixed up with connections now. All I need to do is decide which machine to put downstairs to do music on, and I think that it'll be the one that I've got RH9 on now, I've never been really satisfied with the way it's set up and running. I'm not gonna be using an expensive sound card on it, but it should be adequate for what I need it to do. Well, at this point, I really don't know exactly what I need it to do, I guess.

I do need to re-arrange my space down there, though.

Karen's valentine poem is here.

She's pretty well still worn out from these last two weeks.

And we have a fourth cat now, a recluse at the moment. We're keeping her in the guest room until she gets acclimated to the other cats and they to her. I do hope that there aren't any major conflicts. She's a sweet cat, but about twelve years old. GED has had her since she was a kitten, we got him to adopt her and her mother from the CAT association when we were active in that. The momma cat died about five years ago, but this one appears healthy, just painfully shy. And she's up for adoption, just in case anyone is interested?

Tomorrow... I'm gonna sleep late, late, late!
