10 down
I had written out this huge lovely introspective post summing up my 10-Miler experience. Twice, in fact, and the internet ate it alive both times. Thanks, mobile internet version of LJ! I wrote about what it meant to me to have set this ridiculous goal of running 10 miles, and how either I surround myself with too many runners because 10 miles ( Read more... ) -
the power of negative thinking
I've really been slacking on running lately. Between having to write my midterm assessment, being exhausted by the end of the day, and the BORING longer distances that training for a 10-mile race requires, I haven't had much opportunity and even less interest in maintaining it. Which really sucks, because I was so gung-ho 3 months ago, back when ( Read more... ) -
While I'm sitting here...
I'm at the doctor's for my physical. Due to a misunderstanding, I have to come back in 2 weeks for a pre-op screening, which, despite using the word "physical" repeatedly in our conversation, apparently is not the same thing ( Read more... ) -
it's getting better all the time...
(incidentally, we have a client currently named Anna, and every time we say her name, I get the Beatles' song stuck in my head and inadvertently tune out everything else going on for like 15 seconds. Not good but I can't stop it!)I just spent the last 15 minutes writing 3 paragraphs on the experience of having an insulation salesman (albeit, an ( Read more... ) -
I'm still not a coffee person
I'm so behind on LJ-ing, and I actually feel terrible about it because almost every day I come home with something worth remembering, like working with a patient who believes he's the Crown Prince of Senegal and was brain poisoned by George Bush, or the fairly regular patients I worked with completely independently. Plus I had some milestone runs ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
my feet hurt and my R knee hurts on the lateral side, it like burns (ITB issue?), and my back hurts because my posture sucks, and I'm crampy and tired because I was at the hospital today at 7 am but the wound care PT overslept. Oh look LJ changed the banner across the top, I like it ( Read more... ) -
to expand on my Facebook status
I LOVE CLINICALS. I love where I am right now. I've been there a whopping 4 days and it feels like home. LIKE HOME, people! (which might also be because it's only 1.5 miles from my actual home! 5 minutes! I can wake up at 8am, take my time getting ready, and still walk in at 8:30) This time, I'm at a much smaller, much more inner-city hospital ( Read more... ) -
I'll take it
I just renewed my paid account, and it turns out I had $2 in gift credits! I have no idea where from, so I decided to use it wisely and bought this brain slug userhead. So worth posting about! So if you are responsible for randomly giving me either of the $1 gift codes, my brain slug userhead thanks you ( Read more... ) -
reclaiming the house, one piece of stuff at a time
I've been on Thanksgiving break for 8 hours, and already I have a pattern:
1. clean --throw stuff out, dust, put stuff where it should go-- until I get tired
2. rest & knit or eat while watching Hoarders, which inspires me to get back to it ( Read more... ) -
in this case I'm glad to not be unique
Yesterday I had an appointment with an ophthalmologist about the potential of eye surgery to correct my alternating esotropia. I was born severely cross-eyed, like only you could see half of my pupils because the other halves were buried behind my nose severe, and had undergone 2 corrective surgeries when I 10 months and 3 years old. I don't have ( Read more... )
