| i am surrounded by amazing people: friends from many walks of life; co-workers; family; a supportive church community. i have close girlfriends to whom i could turn and trust completely if i had any needs. i am dating a great guy. i also have good friends scattered all over the globe! and yet sometimes (like today) i feel very very lonely.
why? i have a few suspicions...
| | |
| - i complain about being broke all the time. and i currently kind of am. checking account dipping uncomfortably low.
- considering i just took a 1.5 week trip to paris and a weekend trip to boston, i do not deserve to complain.
- being on a call month is very beneficial to the finances: my credit card bill was lower than usual in sept/oct when i was on the GMF and working probably 85 hrs a week (and recording 75). and that was despite a $300 plane ticket to boston, and 2 dinners totaling $150 for which i was mostly paid back. (and yes, i am going through my credit card statement right now, checking all my receipts and loving it!)
- once again, my compulsivity of checking credit card statement paid off... got $50 back from a mis-charge at a store in paris!
- the night before thanksgiving, i moonlighted (moonlit?). sometimes, i think it should instead be called "getting paid to sleep" or "stealing money because of the two letters after my name" as i saw one patient as soon as i arrived at the hospital and the rest of the night was quiet.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I will give thanks for never going hungry, never being cold at night, having a regular paycheck, and having disposable income to waste (or steward) as I please. For luxuries such as the gym, a computer and the internet, nice dinners out (or in) with my friends, concerts and athletic events, vacations and weekend trips.

| a good workout after a crappy day always makes me happier. especially when it is a team sport with fun people :)

| i think i killed a squirrel on my way to work today.
i sprained my ankle on friday. not doing anything glamorous, but rather, walking down the hall at work wearing cute heels while writing a txt msg on my cell. note to self: don't try to multi-task while walking!
went to a great concert on saturday night (rilo kiley).
this past month, work has been awesome.... i often wake up at 8 or 9, sit home and watch the Today show for a while, wait for my pager to go off, look up my patients online (awesomest and dorkiest thing ever), then head out to work.
one of my worst hangovers ever last thursday... wednesday night was supposed to be quiet evening, just dinner and a couple of beers. next thing i know, i've pounded 3 beers and 3 caipirinhas (spelling?) and taking weird photos with my friends.

| air and water show. the air and water show is when they have cool airplanes and stuff that fly around and do tricks; fighter planes, blue angels. they fly over the beachfront all day. yesterday when i was post call, i was just about to close my eyes for my nap when a big fighter plane flew by my window. the past two years, i have been out of town for weddings. (happy anniversary to antung and jder and pkuo btw!) so, i have been looking forward to today for 2 years. but then it rained. and not just a mild drizzle.  was planning to head to the beach, but way to wet for that. went to my rooftop and watched one fighter plane loop around a few times, and four red/white/blue planes with cool lights flipped around... and then our jeans started to drip. oh well, there's always next year!
in other news, neurology is almost done. it was rather painful. next month is cards, 4 golden weekends, yay! but pretty busy. just signed up for step 3. bank account dipping painfully low. vacation in october, need to figure out where to go and where the cash is going to come from.
