As usual, I have been slacking off on my blog posts. I have been doing better with the Awesome blog, but this one seems to always take last place on my list of things to do. Its now November, over halfway done with November, and I am just finishing up my Surgery rotation. Not going to lie, Surgery was pretty sweet. Hours were a lot more regular, and there was less call than when I am on service. One would think that I would have the chance to update my blog a little more. But nope, instead I filled my time with as much fun as possible.
Work is definitely going well, being off service does make it seem better, but even considering that I would say that it is going well. I am finding that despite call, and the paperwork, I am still getting to spend time with my wife, and my friends. Just this weekend I had Mark and Wes over for a night, and that was fun. Got to have some nerd fun, which was a welcome relapse into the times before the party-house era.
It is also ramping up to Christmas time, which is exciting for me. I have actually managed to get my Christmas shopping almost 100% done! I am pretty proud of myself, as this is about as early as I have ever gotten it done before the week of Christmas. Mandi and I have taken our new income status and gone a little crazy on our family. All of my siblings will be getting something this year, which is fun. All of Mandi's sibs as well, including Vanilla Bean and Kati. It is wonderful that God has afforded us the blessing of income, with which we can be generous to those that we love. Nothing is more fun than giving gifts.
Well... getting gifts is pretty fun too. And I'll be honest, I already ruined two of my gifts. My wife, in her amazingness, bought me a Bears polo, and after much convincing she gave it to me early, seeing as how the Bears are unlikely to make the playoffs it would be nice to have the polo before their season is over :). The other ruining was a little worse, because it involved me being a jerk and assuming that my wife would never actually get me the PS3 she had said forever I would never have. Well, I'll shorten the story and just say that I got the PS3, but there were hurt feelings involved, Mandi wasn't given the chance to be super generous like she wanted to be, and now I feel like a jerk. But we've mended, as we do everytime. And now we have both gotten our big gifts out of the way. Who am I kidding though, Christmas is going to be ridiculous as it always is. We are spoiled every year.
ICU rotation is coming up, it should be interesting. I have worked in the ICU a bit on call, and I have already had my medicine rotation so I am hoping for no huge surprises, but one never knows. I do know that its in-service, and that means I only get two weekends. It also means that I am going to have to work the weekend of Thanksgiving, which is a bummer. All day and night on Thanksgiving day... whole house call. Bummer. And then again on that Sunday, regular call. All the while in between I will be rounding. Its especially a bummer as I have sort of become the go-to guy to shop early on the day after thanksgiving.
Hopefully I get the chance to update before then though.
