post call post

Hi. It's me. It's been a year. Or so. A lot has happened. Some good, some bad. But, I'm still ticking and taking my lickins'. How have you been?
Moved to PA, settled down, doing the residency thing.
Had many good and bad days in the hospital. Had many kids get better under my watch. And watched other kids die because there was just nothing more that could be done (not by me or by any other more competent physician).
I went out with a lovely girl, but like so many things in life, we didn't work out. But we did have good times together and happily we're still talking and good. So if you read this, my dear, I hope you're doing well and getting enough sleep and water. And don't sweat the small stuff, like your road rash =). I'll be around, and you'll see me once in a while. Thank you for the talks, even when I'm half comatose.
I feel like I'm a little smarter and a whole lot dumber with so many tiny things that may or may not count in the long run.
My living room needs cleaning. Any volunteers?
I'm playing my ukulele more. This was my therapy for the bad days. Now I'm ready for a major upgrade (mya-moe ukulele). Been saving up for a beauty. Hopefully soon.
Mowed my lawn on a Friday and now it needs a proper raking...the grass was just ridiculously tall. So that will be my workout for tomorrow.
I'm 1 year older than last year. I saw some old lovers that have moved on and married. Part of me wants to go all "Graduate" on their wedding. I bought them a wedding present instead. I was on a 24-hour call so I missed the event anyways.
I bought a kayak. I use it to go fishing. Tis a good kayak. Bass fishing this summer has been crap. But it did get me out in the sun and water. And that was good.
I'm still struggling with procrastination. Let's face it. I'm lazy.
I still don't know what to do when I grow up.
