| A lovely confluence of events this morning have all led up to me sitting in my apartment patiently waiting for my ride to the airport. This will be the first Thanksgiving I've spent with family in 4 years. What's even more wonderful is that I'll actually get 4 full days off to enjoy the weekend and catch up with friends back in lovely, sunny San Diego. In the world of residency even just a regular 2 day weekend is considered a gift from heaven so to have 4 full days without any clinical responsibilities outside of your normal vacation time is virtually unheard of. This all just happened to work out because it's my outpatient clinic month and the clinic will be closed starting tonight through the weekend. My lowly intern status actually was an advantage this month since they don't make us take any overnight calls during our clinic month. If I was a 2nd or 3rd year I may have had call over the weekend, so for that I'm very grateful.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! | | |
| How is the Friday after Thanksgiving not considered a hospital holiday? Looks like I'll have to use a personal day. | | |
| Apparently a glass of white wine is the perfect method for falling asleep on the redeye back to NYC from SFO. I usually can't sleep very well on plane, but that little ol' glass of wine I had with friends before I left for the airport did the trick. I was out like a baby.
I was actually hoping that there would be a freak snow storm on the east coast to prevent me from flying back to work. I had spent the prior 3 days basking in the glorious California sun and playing catchup with friends from undergrad. Two of my very good friends got married over the weekend and I was part of the wedding party. The first wedding I've been in as an adult. The wedding itself was beautiful and intimate. There were lots of elements reflecting both the bride and the groom which were fun to see. Her love of wine and his love of football were apparent.
The only snafu on the entire trip was me losing my wallet. =( I usually always do a wallet check before I leave the plane, but this time around because I was very last one out I really didn't even think about it. It wasn't until I had gotten into the hotel room that I realized that my wallet was gone. I ended up spending the next morning canceling all my credit cards. Luckily I had the foresight to pack my passport in my backpack only because my Driver's License had expired and I was afraid TSA might want another form of ID. | | |
| There are tough times during residency where I just take it as a lesson learned, smile and move on. Today though was not one of those times. In fact, I'm quite angry and upset about this whole situation. More to come when I'm not so livid about it. | | |
| Dates, family drama and more.
I need a weekend to myself. | | |
