Winter Solstice, what a lovely day! Millie was anxious to get through her shift and go home to do a little celebration of her own!

Ino was always vaguely bored with break weeks and, so far, this one was looking to be no exception. She had her phone out in the hopes that someone would call her with a mission but wasn't really expecting it and so, had her medical notebooks out and was in full study mode.

Yes, she studied during her free time. This wasn't new, and it was something that kept her quiet and focused and both of those were good things.

Still, Ino vaguely hoped for a distraction. Right now, she really missed Ichigo for some reason.

Mina's shift at the clinic today was punctuated by her, well... attempting to squash the snow angels that she spotted.

"This is supposed to be a sterile area!" she'd shout, having seemingly lost her temper.

It was also possible she just was losing fondness of the holiday times. Not that she'd admit that.

[Flying OCD free. Come one, come all.]

The clinic was very decorated today. It seemed like someone had decided that lamps were no longer needed and they could all make do with blinking Christmas decorations. Of course, that made reading a little difficult, and Simon wasn't overly pleased. He really hoped there wouldn't be any serious emergencies today. The exam rooms might be festive, but not particularly functional.

Strangely enough, the nurses acted as if he was to blame.

[Open and OCD-free clinic]

Bones was quietly reading the newspaper at the front desk today, completely ignoring the fact that there was annoying Christmas music playing constantly. Really. Completely ignoring it. The way he was slowly ripping the paper to pieces as time went on was strictly a coincidence.

[OCD-free!]

Millie was quite pleased to tell the nurses all about the lovely party she'd been to the night before. It was good she'd made herself go out and mingle.

The nurses quite made her blush asking about the men she'd talked to, so she was glad to have the excuse of having to check inventory at the clinic to give herself a little break from them.

Okay. So. Maybe her list needed some revisions to it, especially the division of, erm, labour she'd envisioned but Ino? Totally didn't care today.

But that was quite possibly because her dad had decided to call her at work and ask questions about the visitor she'd gone through all the trouble of getting the paperwork for. So she didn't really have the time to care about the revisions needed.

Excuse Ino, she was just going to be facepalming and giggling a lot as he persisted. The nurses watched and tried to guess what she was being asked from the way she reacted.

"Dad! No!"

Mina sat at the front desk of the clinic today, futzing with Facebook again.

"Chestris? What the... what is the point? I believe Allan would think this a highly trivialized notion of treasure hunting..." she said, mostly to herself.

She'd be grateful for any medical emergencies, so that she'd feel useful. Seriously.

[ooc: Open, OCD free]

Simon pretended the nurses weren't there. It worked well until he answered the phone and it was for one of them, and he automatically replied that 'yes, she's here', and the illusion crumbled. Then he fled to the storage cupboard to go through the stocks.

[open and ocd-free clinic]

It was so very difficult to do an inventory check when every time one opened a door, cookies fell out onto the floor.

Yes, deciding which cookies had touched the ground and which cookies had fallen on top of the others, and were therefore safe to eat, was a time-consuming task, but Martha was willing to accept the mission.

[The OCD got eaten in lieu of more cookies, nom nom nom.]

Millie spent the day enthralled by the stories the nurses had to tell about the crazy weekend.

Not much work getting done in the clinic today!

Mina was trying to be droll about the fact she kept discovering Christmas ornaments in drawers at the clinic today.

Trying.

She normally did not have much holiday cheer. This was only beginning to aggravate her.

Give her enough agitation, and she might just shout 'humbug'.

But for now, she was behind the front desk at the clinic, ready to help you in case you'd accidentally stepped on a Christmas ornament.

[ooc: OCD free, I'll interact with anyone who comes once I get home from work!]

Simon was wearing an elf costume. He was certainly not pleased with this, and it didn't make things better that the nurses were laughing behind his back as well making rude comments about it. Rude as in obscene, in this case, and not in a flattering way. Simon really didn't get it, but he knew he wanted this day to end.

[open and OCD-free clinic]

It was a little early for decorations, as far as Martha was concerned, but she couldn't just ignore the little trees that had sprung up all over the clinic. She was drawing the line at Christmas music though, even if that did possibly mean tempting the fates of the island.

[The OCD is Christmas shopping!]

Bones wasn't one to complain about free egg nog, even if he had been a little suspicious of it at first. But the nurses were all drinking it and they were fine and they were in the best place to be if it was poisoned or anything. So why the hell not?

[He would like that nasty crap, I figured. OCD-free!]

Millie was here, with Proudfoot this time, since the cat refused to stay at home today for some reason. Of course, now that she was here, the nurses couldn't help but make much of her.

She was a beautiful cat after all, and once they realized she could speak a little, they were even more amazed.

The list Ino was working on today was quite a bit different than the ones she'd been working on last week and she was frowning thoughtfully as she went down it and scribbled in what she'd need to get down.

Most of it, admittedly, she'd have to get her dad to do--there was only so much she could do while in another universe, after all--but it was good to plan everything out first.

Music played in the background and she absently sang along with it as she worked.

McCoy was so glad he had a job as an excuse to stay away from his little droid kid. The nurses acted childish enough, thank you. One almost cried when she broke her nail this morning.

[OCD-free]

If Millie looked a bit tired in the clinic today it was probably because she'd been up reading into the wee hours of the morning again.

Didn't seem to diminish her cheerfullness much, though!

Ino was idly drawing up lists today, all in her own language, and humming as she did so.

It wasn't quite studying, but it was something in the same general realm as it so she figured that it was good enough to 'pass' as something she could do during work.

Not, mind, that she'd have not done it if it hadn't passed—probably.

[OCDless 'cause I gotta run for the bus! Out shopping, be back laterz!]
