Week 1, dun!

One week down, 7 more to go, with call duty, step 2 and step 2 PE. Bring it!

Today, I pretty much tried to be as productive as possible. Got up early, read a bit, went to the local farmer's market, got some fresh produce and hightailed it back to the lair to cook up my catch all before 11am.  Not bad.

Once belly was full and amply caffeinated, I proceeded to hit the Q-bank with gusto.  Looks like I'm ready w/ peds and surgery questions.  IM, however is still proving to be a tough nut to crack.  did about 200 questions.  Will probably do 200 more tonight if I don't get all comatose-like after dinner. 

6pm.  Off to Whole foods to get more provisions that I wasn't able to get from the FM.  Big shocker: 13 bux for almond butter.  WTF?!?!  While it is fun to peruse the aisles for all the colorful, organic fare, the prices are just ridiculously out of hand.  Looks like I'll be sticking to my good ol' Shoprite for the time being.  I tell you what tho, I found this amazing can of butter beans, and I might just be tempted to go back, just to stock up on them.

A 1/2 hour later, it's off to the neighboring liquor store for some cold beverages.  This place had a crazy variety of local beers...I was so tempted to buy at least 3 different 6-packs.  But, good sense and lack funds did sway me back to sobriety, so I just bought the Sam Adams coastal wheat (wheat ale w/ California lemon peel).  I must say, I found a new Sam favorite.  This went well with the steak and bean-carrot-tater hash that I prepped for tonight's supper.

So far, so good.
