Feeling blech

Man did I wake up sick this morning. Had to call off from the hospital, unless I wanted to be a patient. My stomach was not cooperating and I actually had to pull over on the side of the road a few minutes away from my house.

Let's hope this is just temporary, …

Mush on

Winter weather advisory tonight and tomorrow morning...1-2 inches of "slush" forecasted in the morning.

Driving to the hospital should be interesting. Iditarod ring a bell?

Experience is the teacher

I remember back when I was in high school how much I feared public speaking. It was beyond something that made me nervous...it made me ill. I would get sick to my stomach at the very thought of having to speak in front of groups. My mind would flash back to all of …

Something cool

Although I'm not looking forward to the surgery oral exam tomorrow, I'm definitely looking forward to afterwards. Not because I'll be studying in the library for the shelf copy exam on friday, but because I'll be trying out something I realized tonight. While in the …

Answer

Cast me gently into morning

For the night has been unkind

Take me to a place so holy

That I can wash this from my mind

The memory of choosing not to fight

- Sarah McLachlan...speaking on my behalf

Sleepless nights

Thinking about what could have been

but never was

and never will be

Wishing for sleep to help me forget

rest to rest

my tired thoughts

Things that refuse to go to bed

and keep me in this reality

which must be a dream

The Flu

...has me in its grip. I've been bedridden the last two days, with a temp hovering around 102-103, muscle aches, cough, and congestion. Despite knowing that it was the flu and that there would be nothing to be gained from going to the doctor, my parents forced me to …

White Christmas

The temperature is in the high 20's and the snow is steadily falling outside. Since the weather is relatively warm, it's the heavy wet snow that sags the branches down and makes shoveling, let alone driving excessively difficult. Until 7 pm tonight we have a winter …

Only 364 days left...

...until next Christmas boys and girls. I'll actually be looking forward to it, partly because this year was not the most enjoyable of 25ths. Not to say that I didn't have a great Christmas, just that I really wasn't ready to appreciate it like I should have been. …

No house calls

Once again my mother has told a family friend that I will go and give them a checkup in their home. I'm not even a doctor yet! What the hell is going through her brain when she does things like this? Even if I was a doctor there's no way I'd risk the liability of …

Bring on '04

It's been a year of changes for me, a year of growth, and...well, a year to be thankful for. I began 2003 holding and kissing someone I loved deeply and I end it now with my family who love and support me more than any people should. It's a year of coming full circle …

AM thoughts

I know your face, the light I can't resist flying toward

I know your laugh and how it takes me to another place

I know your lips and how they leave your love planted on mine

I know your skin and how it cradles my head on your chest

I know your aura and how it makes me …

Sign that my life is dull

The highlight of my day was the fact that the cafeteria had chicken parmesean sandwiches.

...and they were really good.

Another box

How many damn times am I going to have to do this? Yet another box gets filled with mementos of a much happier time. Kisses, hugs, glances, cards just to say I love you...receipts from first movies and dinners. It all gets thrown in a fucking box just to be left …

Snow Ice Day

Figures I'd get one of these when I was sick anyways. We're getting some ice storms over here and the roads are tantamount to rinks. Over 500 school closings today, so I'm sure there were lots of kids thankful for the horrible weather. I remember the excitement of …

Time to kill

Looking at the schedule last night I saw that I had to be at the med school this morning at 8am for family practice orientation. All the campuses would be meeting at the same time so that we could get our information packets and PDA's. So of course this morning I wake …

Midnight in the playground

It's midnight in the playground

no sleep to dream

...drained

Not long ago I would have vivid dreams. My mind would furiously roll into action as my head hit the pillow and would take me to the places I longed to be. My life, my loves, my joys...they were clearer than …

Frustration

At this moment I am doing all it takes to not scream at the top of my lungs and break something. You ever have those moments where everything just goes into a white haze and you feel nothing but total rage? I'm having one of those moments...right. this. second.
