Nothing like choking to help you appreciate being able to take a deep breath.
Robbing time from Peter to pay Paul for a good grade & the strategy pays off!
Sidetracks remembering my late-night-concert cd request.
Love observing how the seasons change my favorite trail + running into M & M there.

November!
Next time, I'm pullin' out the squirt gun!
Challenging questions from the preceptor.
Just when I could use an extra hour, I get one.
New fenders + my own private bike mechanic. Yippee!

Beautiful Autumn - Thankful for...
The luxury of rest.
The Swell Season's new album.
Anne Lamott's writing - Grace Eventually.
Standing still under a golden canopy.

Mid-term
Holy insta-full schedule, batman! & I'm having so much fun!
Finding two long lost friends on FB. Wow.
Thinking a lot about sweet relief. And, also about the suggestion on how to tell a more accurate story.
Cool weather and changing leaves.
Happy Anniversary (tomorrow) to both S&D and J&K. : )

Thankful for the gift that this day brings
And by that, I mean my sister. Happy Birthday, SMH-K.
Porch sitting with J, remembering H. Nice to be reminded of the clarity I've found.
Productive afternoon. Fall walking. Neighborhood clothing swap. Late night risotto.

Sunny Fall
GC arrives! Three weeks early, 4 lbs 14 oz, 18 inches but C U T E and healthy.
Strange dreams in the last few nights - one very positive, one very strange and looping and uncomfortable.
Beating the post-vaccination fatigue.
First clinical assignment will be...(drumroll)... Hematology/Oncology. Wow.
Blue cheese bacon burger.
Looking for a new read (while I still have the free mental space).

First big hurdle
First patho exam. Not bad. Need more fluid & electrolyte work. Looking forward to seeing how the curve works out.
F O U R sticks in the arm today, but now fully vaccinated.
It's amazing how much sugar is served up in the Nursing School. Must. Resist.
Really impressed with the ostomy care lecture today, particularly with how compassionate the NP is towards his patients.

Day off
In vino Veritas. Glad for the nudge to get out and glad to get some dancing in.
Rocking out with the student discounts at my favorite shops.
Basement organizing, yard work.
Working on airmail to Nippon. I can't believe it's been 13 years. Will I be able to find them all?
Patience with changing settings on the Mac and with feeling wiped out. Emergen-C and B-100 to the rescue?

Week 4, Already
IM and ID injection practice. Wow. Easier than I might have thought it would be.
First test of patience in grad school presents itself. Calmly reassured that I should not worry about it.
Video chat with Kallie, whom I haven't seen in person in far too long. Must remedy that soon. She has a remarkable memory for things that link us together. She's so neat.
A year and a half ago, sad and lonely were very very distant things. Lately, they appear too too often, it seems. I won't ask of fairness, or of what I did to "deserve" this, because mostly, I think that's crap. But, Universe, there must be a reason, so what is it that I need to learn from this?
