BEDA #23 - missed 2 posts 2 days apart... not good
I missed posting yesterday. Again. Yeah, I'm kinda running out of steam. I'm trying to keep it up though!
Yesterday was a very very long day. We had to get up early to go to my cousin's bris (circumcision ceremony) at 7:45. They're not the most fun aspect of Judaism. It's pretty sad actually, hearing the baby cry and knowing that there's not really anything to be done to make him feel better. He's feeling pain that has been inflicted on him voluntarily :(
I also had a dentist appointment yesterday, which I had to shlep myself to. It took 2 hours out of my day for 5 minutes in the waiting room and a 15 minute cleaning. Oh the joys of public transit... I have very clean teeth though, and no cavities!
Today I studied, I cooked myself lunch (breaded chicken breast and sweet potato chips), and I went downtown to work at the clinic. It was a lot of tedious data entry today. I'm getting so familiar with all the questionnaires that are used in the packages all patients get, I find myself passing the time by thinking about the people who fill them out. The woman who filled the "current medication" section with tiny writing, and still had to add more on the back of the sheet. The man who's scared of people not leaving him alone. The woman who will do anything to make her past relationship succeed. I give these people personalities, appearances, mannerisms in my mind. I wonder if I'd be able to recognize them if I saw them. It's an interesting way to pass the time, if not a little creepy on my part.
