Don't have much to say this morning - I'm sitting by the pool in our resort complex drinking coffee and listening to jazz in my pj's. Life doesn't get much better than this. The clouds are starting to blow off and the sun is emerging . . . I'm sure my Dad and his wife want to get rolling, but I'd be happy to sit here another hour.
We've been here since Monday - lots to see and do in Key West - the most striking thing I think to me is how nice the people are. Also how much green there is - I've really missed that in NYC. I think my time in NYC is up . . . I've realized that I'm just done with it. It's impossible to date - every guy I've been out with just seems to want to date everyone and anyone - no one recognizes that they've found something wonderful. Of course I don't want to date people like that!!! It's not that I don't like the city - I've had lots of fun, have met some great people . . . but I think it's time for me to move on. I want some space, some green. I want my dogs to be able to run around outside off leash . . . and NOT on rocks or concrete. I knew I was in trouble when Ruby, my almost 8 year old dog started getting comfortable with the idea of crapping on concrete.
I've applied for cardiology residencies this year - it would give me a better life and MUCH more respect which general practitioners are seriously lacking. Also I'm not currently velcroed to anyone or any particular place, so what better time? I may as well do something productive. I've ranked UC Davis first - they have one of the most respected cardiologists in the nation and have just hired a guy who is trained in open-heart surgery. Would be awesome to learn from them! Won't know til March 8th tho so cross your fingers for me!
More about my trip later . . . sun's coming out and I'm sure Dad is getting anxious to get out!
XOXOXO all . . . missed ya.
