update

Well...it's been awhile since I posted anything. Been busy with work and whatnot.. Ok, I've been lazy.

I spent a month in Pacific City, Oregon, doing my small community rotation with a family medicine practice there. It was very nice, especially since I only worked 40 hrs/wk and no call shifts. Not to mention spending lots of time on the coast being very relaxing. I went for walks on the beach while I listened to my audio spanish lessons. I would reply out loud but would check every once in awhile to make sure no one was around...didn't want to look like a schizophrenic patient talking to someone who wasn't there. My cousin got married down there as well. My other cousin got married the weekend after that in portland. I bought lots of fun stuff too...like 5 pairs of shoes.

This month I'm on Behavioral health. Many days were incredibly boring and a few were very informative. Clinic on friday was never slow though. I got to miss almost an entire half day of clinic because one of my OB patients delivered in the morning. I would have been happier with the whole thing cancelled but oh well. Tomorrow I'll spend at Cascadia so it will be good to see what goes on there since I send many of my patients there.

Next week is my vacation!!! I'm going to paint the bathrooms and maybe my bedroom. The thought of moving the furniture in my office to paint is nauseating right now since the desk is heavy, the shelves are heavy, the futon is heavy and well, there's no room for me to have all 3 away from the walls at the same time. I think I'll paint the guest room though. Not sure what color but probably an off white since red is too hard to get to look nice. I'm not doing the ceilings in this house. That was too hard in the condo and that way I can avoid the stupid light fixtures (the ones that look like a boob hanging from above).

Oh and I discovered today at our clinic all staff meeting that I'm running the group OB visits that start up in January. I had stated an interest but didn't realize I was the chosen one. Should be fun though.

Okay, time to work on my clinic notes.
