Hmmm

I just realized that my share of the class action suit against apple ($50 bucks) still hasn't arrived. I wonder if apple's website has a way to track this. Apple now has a new mouse and since there isn't anything else I want from there right now (aside from a new computer) and I can't use it to buy itunes music, I thought I'd buy the new mouse.

In other news, the injection site from my vaccination really hurts and there's a bruise that hurts when I touch it. I know, I know, then don't touch it. I'm sure you care that I have pain and will wait and hold a candle light vigil for the day when the pain and bruise are gone, so I'll be sure to give updates. Or maybe not. Back to packing. I took a break to learn some medical spanish. And in the time I spent changing the location of the sprinkler and typing this, I really don't remember any of it except something about Toquese el logar or something like that. And estomago mean stomach...or something to that effect. a qui means here. abra la boca is open your mouth. Yep, still need the translator for my spanish speaking patients. One of my new patients told me I needed to learn spanish...I could say that she needed to learn english too...but I didn't. I did have a patient tell me that she really liked me and thought I was very nice and helpful. Fooled them all!!! and now I'm rambling.

Vacation!

Today I started my vacation. Okay technically it starts tomorrow but today I was post call with nothing on my schedule so I decided that today I could put my brain on vacation. I had my physical exam today with my new doctor. She seemed nice enough and she's young so she's no where near retirement age. Apparently I had a 1/6 systolic ejection murmur today but i couldn't hear anything but my usual split heart sound when I got home. I got my second hep A shot which was an interesting ordeal. They told me I had to go to the hospital pharmacy to buy it cause they don't have any adult hep A vaccines in the office and then to come back and a nurse would poke me. So I get back and apparently this info hadn't been shared with anyone there and I specifically told the secretary that I was back to get my Hep A vaccine injected as I had the vaccine in my possession. Somehow this simple statement was forgotten and I hear her tell the nurse that I was back for "something to be given to me." For crying out loud, I'm sitting right there and I made the point of my presence quite clear. Anyway, they figured it out eventually (god forbid you just ask me rather than have a confusing dialogue about me while you stare at me). And now I've been chilling out. So I thought I'd better pack my junk up now rather than rush tonight and forget something.

Sick and Twisted

For all those interested, there will be a Rodeo hosted by a smokeless tobacco company and all proceeds are to benefit a cancer fund organization. Am I the only one who sees the sick and twisted nature of this event? Hmmm...I guess that company can never say they didn't help pay for the disease they promote.

Stupid instructions

So they're paving my road today and since I had time to come home for lunch, I was prompted by 4 different flaggers to go slow and watch out for the workers. Fine. Despite the fact that I can see these people quite easily, I suppose the prompt is warranted. But to be told to watch out for the roller, a piece of equipment 5 times the size of my car, how retarded is that?!? Like I plan on driving full speed towards something that would total my car? Oh and what made the instruction even more ridiculous is the fact that the stupid thing was immediately in front of my car. If it was obstructed from view, then the info would have been useful. Do I look like someone who would purposely drive fast at people working on the roadside or at large road equipment? Apparently so. I don't understand the need for multiple flaggers who make me stop at every point just to tell me to keep driving slowly. I told the first one that I lived at the top of the hill. What part of that message was misunderstood? She told the others that I was going to the top yet at every stop, I needed to tell them this info. What fun will it be when I drive back down the hill. Well, gotta eat since this will probably eat up time to get off my road.

fun day

Today Chris and I hung out. It's been awhile since we did anything because I've been working or sleeping but since my call last night was easy, I had enough rest to do stuff. We went out to lunch at a thai place right by my clinic and then went to world market so I could show him the clock with the japanese numbers instead of arabic. Oh and I saw the place he's living in. It's actually pretty big. He refused to play his cello for me but we discovered that my violin books are the same pieces for the cello so we decided to try and do a duet. I pity the neighbors since we both aren't that great (self evals are always critical but probably correct) but we decided to ignore their ear pains and will try to play together later. Don't worry, we're too embarrassed to play for family. I unfortunately discovered that I missed the coupon period for the HP all-in-one printer/fax/scanner at costco. The sale ended yesterday and they wouldn't accept the day old coupon. bastards. They said it's cause the money is from hp and not costco. Oh well...I guess I'll just wait until christmas or later. Maybe something better will come out by then. Of course, mom promised me my digital piano for christmas or whenever costco gets it in stock again. I could order it online but I suppose I can wait. The guy who turned down my plea to take the coupon (got it from uncle george and aunty pam's house) said they should get some in the fall.
Chris gave me the harry potter book 7 for my birthday (he bought it at costco today) and then I also bought more dvds. They had The Parent Trap. And, the most exciting find, was the Bad News Bears movies. It's the 3 old ones (as opposed to the new release) for only $15. I mean, come on, how can you argue against that purchase?!? Only problem is that I have now run out of space on my DVD rack so I think I need to go buy the 175 dvd rack at fred meyer's I saw the other day. It's on sale for $35. Or maybe I'll check online. Chris was embarassed to be around me and my dvd choices. He instead held the harry potter book and his Freakonomics book. Actually, I'm going to read that one after he finishes it. It sounds kind of interesting and funny in a weird sort of way.

The timer for watering my lawn went off so I have to move the sprinkler. I promised mom I'd try to keep the grass alive.

Oh and I bought supplies to wash my car tomorrow.
