belated 2012 survey
pennywhistle has been doing a year-end summary for a while, and I really like it, so I copied hers & completed it. And then I got too sick to care about anything that wasn't feeling miserable or Violet. But now I'm feeling well enough that I'd like to include it. It's mostly true, I think you'll figure out what's been updated ( Read more... ) -
a bit of reflection on life at the moment
I'm tired (more because it's late, not because of anything I did today), but I briefly want to touch on something:
I have a lot going on right now. I'm not bragging, I'm not complaining. I'm simply stating that almost every aspect of my life has been building up to this period of time, and it's finally coming to a head. The job thing is a huge ( Read more... ) -
May catch-up
the problem with only coming to write here once a month is that too much happens. But I'm trying ( Read more... ) -
and it's only April!
I was thinking the other day about how I'd really wanted to do an end-of-year reflection last year, as I had all these big events and changes. But last night I realized that as big as last year was, it was really only the prologue to this year. Because GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY so much has already happened this year! Let's compare, shall we?

An evening we didn't know we needed
For some months now, Tony & I have been wanting to try out other synagogues. We aren't happy with where we are anymore, but I still want something, and especially with The Girl on the way, I want her to have the Jewish education and instilled faith I never had. There was one place in particular I wanted to try, but it seemed like availability and ( Read more... ) -
[ ] DO | [X] DONE
I graduated from PT school on Sunday. I still can hardly believe it. I kind of think there's something off with my own ...milestone-excitement gauge because I'm mostly like "well, of course I did!" But other people, like my family & close friends, are extremely celebratory and happy for me. And shit, I'm happy for me too that I don't have to go ( Read more... ) -
O WOE IS ME
it's 10am, I have to leave in a little over an hour, and damned if I can't get off the couch and away from the laptop. All that motivation I had 3 months ago is GONE. In its place is a dried, bloody-crusted over nose (I know, lovely), a cramp in my left shin (peroneals to be exact), and the inability to do anything other than sit here and focus ( Read more... ) -

I feel I should take this opportunity to update, but I'm feeling just boring enough to not know what to write about. I could write about this clinical, but it's, well, boring. Tony pointed out recently that I don't come home every day overflowing with excitement for what I've done during the day, and I also noticed that I don't feel that same ( Read more... ) -
I am so SMRT!
I took the big exit exam this morning. Because it's a doctoral program but we don't have a thesis or anything, we have to take this comprehensive exam in order to be allowed to graduate. I was in the last group of people to go, and while I wouldn't have done it any other way (because I had no outpatient experience at the other test dates), it was a ( Read more... ) -

My in-service this Thursday will be on conversion disorder, factitious disorders (eg Munchausen's), and malingering (faking). It is fascinating stuff, and I'm loving this topic. I think my favorite part so far is the diagnostic tests to determine "non-organic" pain complaints. Some differentiate simply between organic & non-organic, and some ( Read more... )
