The Joys of Time Off

 
Currently Listening

It was a very good decision to take this rotation off.  I was hesitant about taking off during pediatrics, since it is a rotation I've really been looking forward to, but it was the best decision I could have made.

I'm sitting here, listening to classical music, playing with my adorable (though still sick) cat.  Last night, I went to bed at 9:30 pm.  I didn't get up this morning until 8:30 am.  My apartment, though still cluttered, is significantly more livable.  Sunday, I watched movies with Justin all day long.  We're cooking dinners together and enjoying movies -- we're getting to enjoy being married in our relatively new apartment with our relatively new kitten, with the fresh air of the rapidly approaching autumn blowing in.  The kids at the school across the street laugh and play, and Justin and I read together.  It is a much needed break from rotations.

I talked to one of my friends in the pediatrics rotation yesterday.  He seems to be enjoying it.  But as I listened to him talk, I realized I didn't regret my decision.  It is a nice time off from the wards.  Everything is working out.

Tomorrow I train to help with a College of Pharmacy OSCE -- I'm going to learn how to pretend to be a doctor.  And they're going to pay me $13/hour.

I have to get my tires on my new vehicle replaced.  Yup, already.  One of my tires was flat on Tuesday, and all the tires are worn.  But I have time to replace them, and since they were going to need to be replaced anyway, it's good they are being replaced during my break from rotations.  And I was able to go to buy a license plate the other day, pay my taxes on the car, and visit my 'rents besides.

Justin and I are thinking about driving up to visit Brandon in the next few weeks, in our sweatshirts and long-sleeves.  What fun.

Life is good.

Autumn breezes put me in the mood to frolic.

We should arrange a Welcome Home, Fall! Frolic.

This is a good question you pose. Hmmm. I suppose it depends on the qualities one seeks in a place of frolic.

I am glad you are enjoying your time off. It is nice to be able to enjoy married life before your surgery rotation, which I already dread in comparison to how smoothly things are going now. But I don't want to get all pessimistic. Enjoy this time as much as you can with me.

Time off is great. Especially in the fall. You can take hikes through the color-changing woods and not leave with all your clothes saturated with sweat.
You guys are so cute...I miss the 'honeymoon' phase of married life. (we see it sometimes, but it's not a constant thing anymore)
