It's cold today.  You're working and it's crappy, but those patients need you more than I do.  The house is toasty warm from all four burners, and it smells so good.  I'm going to start working on a good way to get the buddy to carry the ring out to you when you get home.  At the moment he's trying to tear it off his red collar.  Good thing he's cuddly in the cold, winter months.
