End of November...

Which means time for a change at the hospital. I am wrapping up Adult in-patient endocrinology, and will be starting Adult General Medicine Wards. It's going to be a busy month, but am looking forward to it in a masochistic way. Going to be lots of work, but should be good learning. Sadly, I only have 2 days off until I head home, so am not going to really have much contact with the outside world. I will be in Denver Dec 28th, until the 7th.

Cheers,
Brian

Happy Thanksgiving

It's my favorite holiday. Forget all the bullshit that comes with most holidays, TG (thanksgiving) is about being with family and friends (and sadly, sometimes about working). I hate to admit it, but I'm sadly disappointed that it won't be with my family. I'll be spending with Patrick at his Dad's house in West Hartford, along with his sisters who will arrive from DC and New York, and a few other family members (totaling about 9). I'm looking forward to meeting his dad, and the one sister whom I have yet to meet, but at the same time I know that Jason and Nikki will be having their family TG in Colorado, Kevin and Karena will be having their TG in Thailand, Dad and Janice with the Bost Clan in Lockport, and that I'll be here, with Patrick and his family. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to be with Patrick, but in my mind, I would be spending my TG meal in the company of assorted friends who don't have family here... Kind of weird, I can't really explain it. Suffice to say, that if you are reading this, then you are part of the group that I wish could all be together on TG. May you have a wonderful thanksgiving.

Back Home

Back from Dublin. Had a grand time. Aside from reading 3 books, drinking endless coffee, tea, wine, and the savory pints of Guinness, having lunch and dinners with friends, walking aimlessly among the old stomping grounds, I didn't do much. And that's the best part. The week flew by. It was exactly what I needed, and wanted. It was great to be able to catch up in person with friends. It was great to be in the buzz of a city again. Lots of people. Lots of cafes etc...

Anyway, now back to the real world. Enjoying a bit of a slower pace at work, learning about diabetes, and other endocrine stuff. Am doing medicine night float this weekend, and that's going to be interesting..

Am keeping this brief, trying to wrap up some studying before crashing for the night.

Cheers,
B

Outta Here!

I am packed, and thrilled to be heading out of dodge for a while. More thrilled, with the thought of visiting friends whom I haven't seen in ages, and also thrilled with the thought of having down time. Time to just sit and chill, walk around an reminisce. It's going to be good..
