Absent for almost a month - long overdue for a post ( Read more... )

Coffee with vanilla rice milk beside me, warm eggs and toast in my belly, and Toby Mac through my headphones to tune out Sunday morning cartoons in the other room. A good start to a Sunday morning ( Read more... )

My mom arrived a few days before I arrived home for Christmas and spent most of her time in my kitchen with the girls, baking and cooking up a storm. I don't know who enjoyed it more; my mom, the girls, or Jack (since he gets to eat all kinds of treats ( Read more... )

I have made several LJ entries over the past few days, all half-finished and kept private for now.  I will try to post a link to some pictures, update about my clerkship, and sort through Christmas events soon but for now I have a game of Horse-opoly to get to, some clerkship work that I need to stop ignoring, and I believe I'm due for another big ( Read more... )

I'm sad to be leaving today.  I've packed my suitcase, I have some errands to run this morning and then we'll head out.  I told Jack yesterday afternoon that it felt like the last grains of sand were slipping through the hourglass.  It's a small comfort that I'll be back in 3 weeks for a few more days.

I didn't get much studying done this weekend, ( Read more... )

A Friday night in Toronto, the TIFF is still going on, I didn't have to worry about kids or childcare and how did I spend my Friday night?  Eating pizza at my desk while I typed class notes, skyped for an hour, and went to bed with Harry Potter.  Woop-woop.  I am most definitely not the young urban woman looking looking for the hot spots in ( Read more... )

Kim came home yesterday and had requested 'real food' for supper.  I made a Marion Cunningham type of meal; meatloaf, mashed potatoes, steamed baby carrots, peas, and creamed corn. There were many groans of pleasure around the full table last night, and Kim ate leftovers for breakfast ( Read more... )

Leaving in 4 days + PMS + prednisone = a hormonal acid trip.   All things considered, I'm managing quite well, and I've only cried once today.

I find myself getting anxious and scared about learning how to use the variety of public transit options in Toronto, about being in a big city again, of being alone, of cracking under the pressure, of ( 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... )

I woke up way too early for a Saturday morning but I stayed in bed and finished my book.  The ending was a disappointment, and now I'm wondering what I want to read next.  I'd like to read Harry Potter again but  Kim took her books with her.

I did my CPR recert this morning.  One of our local EMTs was the instructor, the same EMT who was first on ( Read more... )
