I've driven about 1400 km since last Wednesday, making trips back and forth from the city with loads of boxes and one round trip to attend a birth. I am SICK of highway driving and I still have one more trip to make tomorrow to start my week of work. Bleh ( Read more... )

Jack and the girls arrived Saturday morning and we shared many hugs and kisses - I was so excited for them to arrive, I could hardly stand to wait.  I packed my own overnight bag and we headed out for a trip to Walmart (Hellmart before Christmas is a special kind of hell), had command start installed on the vehicle I'm driving now, went out for ( Read more... )

After a night of insomnia and fitful sleep I was not eager to get out of bed this morning.  When I finally got up I had time for a quick shower before we took the girls to the local theater for a free movie and their annual Santa pictures.  Movie popcorn and diet pepsi for breakfast - yum.  It may have been an animated movie with a theater full of ( Read more... )

Monday is looming, although I'll be leaving for the city to get organized in just a couple of days ( Read more... )

My mind is so very full of thoughts, not all of them are good ones.

Three weeks from right now I should be sleeping in my temporary room in Toronto.  I thought about this on my way home from the city today, and cried a little.

Life seems to be speeding up these days.  I didn't think that was possible, but there it is.  I am trying to stop looking for ( Read more... )

I'm in the city for another observational placement. Thunderstorms woke me up twice last night and my blessed alarm clock went off at 5 a.m. so that I could be on the road before 6 a.m.  By the time 8:30 rolled around I was on the road with one of the midwives for a very full, non-stop day of home and clinic visits.  My head is spinning and I've ( Read more... )

It was a late night last night - I refused to go to bed until one of my assignments was done.  It was a good idea until my alarm went off at 6 a.m.

I was at my desk working before 7 a.m. Checking lab charts was a blur of CBC, UKE, LFT, ECG, ESR, CRP....*yawn*.  It was such an early morning because I had to leave work early for an appointment in the ( Read more... )

I dutifully packed up my computer and books to work on my modules over the next few days but the books are across the room doing a nice job of holding down the chair, and they shall stay there for tonight.

I'm in the city for a few days to do an 'observational placement' with the midwives here and I'm looking forward to it.  It would be even better ( Read more... )

It's late, but I'll do both.

Kim came home for the weekend and arrived late last night.  It's nice to have her home for a visit.  She sick with tonsilitis (again) so I sent her to emerg to see the doctor on call this morning and get a prescription for abx.  In these short, quick visits home it's difficult to work in all the necessary things like ( Read more... )

My mind has been so busy that by the time I sit down here, I don't want to make words.  So, in point form ( Read more... )
