Blah(g)

Blah.

That's really about all I have to say. It's freaking COLD here. COLD. Miserable cold. Seriously, I can't get warm. I'm contemplating going to the doctor, I think my internal thermostat is broken. Trust me, it's NOT my thyroid. If I hear one more person tell me to have it checked, I'll scream. Ya know how old women always seem so bundled, shawls and all, that's me!

Developmental Peds is good. I'm learning about Autism, ADD/ADHD, growth, nutrition, speech delay etc. So that means, every time I see a kid I scrutinize them. Are they hitting their developmental milestones. Do they talk enough. Are they interacting appropriately? I must say, having spent an afternoon with speech pathologists, these people are SAINTS...

As usual, the month is coming to a close, and even though this is day #12 of the rotation (I had a few vacation days at the beginning of the month), I feel like I am behind in learning for this month. Where does the time go? Seriously folks?

I took off Friday afternoon to read for pleasure. How goofy is that? I had to make time to just read. It wasn't so much reading, but rather I escaped to an old mill located by a creek, where you can hear the water inside the book mill/coffee house and just chill. This place is kind of magical. Any guess what, I had perhaps the best cup of joe in months at this place. The first sip was magical. Sitting at an old wooden table, wrapped in my shawl, listening to the water, reading. Seriously folks, that was liquid crack.

Patrick and I saw the movie "The Queen" last night. It was good. Better than I had expected it to be.

Alrighty, I need to get some work done.

Hope your 2007 is off to a good start.
