I’m baaaaccckkkk!!!! And I’m alive!!
It has been over a month since I posted last--& life in the interim has been unexpectedly crazy (but oddly relaxing, too).
Toward the end of April during my surgery rotation, my kind preceptors discovered that my husband was going to be out of my life for the next year & let me off a week early. An allowance that changed our travel plans completely…overnight. With two days notice, I moved out of my apartment & crammed my car full of stuff for the LAST four hour drive between my two homes. And because of the generosity of my preceptors, I was able to fly back “home” to spend an extra week with Jon in the glorious land of Eastern Washington (the very next day!!)—a week that I would have spent gazing at hernia’s & poking my fingers in people’s insides (I’ll let your imagination wander…). Needless to say, it was a blessing. We followed up our trip to our Washington “home” with a trip that brought city life into full view: NYC.
So, in the month of May 1:Packed up my (smelly smelly!) apartment.
Made my final drive between my apartment & our Army home.
Spent time with family…& holding Jon’s hand (I soaked up every bit of our time together).
Had a picnic in central park.
Saw Miss Liberty in all her glory.
Watched a softball game & got a horrible sunburn.
Took a walk in the rain (& lightening…but don’t tell my mom that part).
Punched my husband in the chest.
Got a newly promoted husband!!
Said “hello” to the next 12-months on my own.
Started packing up the house…
Which brings me to today…as I’m STILL packing up the house. I’ve scheduled some posts for the following couple of weeks—I start a new Ears/Nose/Throat rotation here on Monday. I’m going to try my best to study my toosh off in the next couple of months (Boards are only 3 months away!)—which means that posting, pictures, etc. may take a backseat until after they are over.
At the very least, though, I’ll share a fun project Jon & I started for the duration (we hope!) of his LONG vacation. Each Sunday I’ll (try to!) post a picture from each day of the week—a Project 365 of sorts. We are both taking a photo each day & are going to compare notes & make a photobook when all this is behind us J
Until then, however, I’ll be snapping photos & trying to study…can’t ask for much more than that!
