- I've been learning. A lot. You think you learn a lot when you're in medical school but it's an entirely different thing when YOU are the one making decisions. Ordering tylenol for a patient becomes a big deal - "what if they have an allergy?" "what's their liver function?" "are they on other medicines that will react with it?" "what dose is best for them?" I've re-learned an insane amount of physiology too. Awesome.
- With all the knowledge I've been gaining, I am feeling much more confident in myself. When I get called about things I can handle - it's amazing.
- I miss my family. Especially my puppy (who has grown so much I can hardly recognize her!) and Chris. Chris has been unbelievably supportive, like always. I'm so grateful for him!
- I might be making a wedding cake! With my mom! I don't have all the details yet, but making a wedding cake has always been something I wanted to do...so I'm very excited!
- Another thing that is going to be awesome - I'm entering a cake contest! I just made a cake for Patrick's 21st birthday that I'm going to submit to Threadcakes. Threadcakes is a cake competition run by a T-shirt website, threadless.com. The idea is to make a cake that represents one of their shirts. It's hard to describe, so I'll just put up pictures. I know I won't win, but entering in itself is exciting. :) If I get another long weekend I may have to submit another!
That's about all for now. I suppose I should go read about "sick sinus syndrome" or how to treat people with congestive heart failure AND kidney failure. Or maybe I can go hand-wash my dishes that have been sitting in the sink all week. Maybe I'll just go eat some more ice cream that Chris bought me. (Thanks, Christopher!)
