So this is what it's like to be well-rested...

I slept twelve solid hours last night. And STILL nodded off for half an hour this afternoon watching NCIS.

God, I love a weekend.

So, I'm sorry it's taken me this long to blog again. I was at the hospital overnight on Thursday, and was planning on blogging from work, but then I didn't get to it. And then I was going to blog Friday and I fell asleep at 8pm. And so, now, it's Saturday....

Today was great, though. I got up, went to coffee, hung out for a long time. I really like my coffee friends. There were a couple of different waves of them today, which was nice, to see a few people I don't often see. I stayed there until noon, which was great. I went to the gym and saw a couple of friends and a GREAT workout. I picked up lunch and hung out with my folks for a while. Came home, had a nap, cleaned the house a little. Jen and Bill brought dinner over - Egyptian something made by Jen's ex-husband's mom. It was so good, and way healthy. And then we took Maggie out and got her some TCBY. Maggie made lots of friends at the yogurt shop.

Today made me happy. And there's a whole other day of weekend tomorrow!!

Told you I needed more weekend

So we had a lovely day on Consults - remarkably quiet for the first week of July (when all the newbies hit the floors in the rest of the hospital) and the first day following a three day weekend. But hey, we'll take it. I'm doing this Junior Attending thing right now, since we don't have any clear leadership on the team (the old primary attending went off to grad school; the new one doesn't start until Monday), which means the new third years are staffing with me and then I staff the consults with the actual attending du jour. It's kind of neat, actually. One of the residents who just graduated was in this role for us last month, and it was a huge help. But he also commented how useful it was for him, that it made you think about things differently to look at it as the attending and to talk through it with the junior resident. He wasn't wrong. This whole Junior Attending thing is now built into the Child Fellowship, too, and I think that's a good thing.

Also nice, the kids took the pager and threw me out around 3:30. I was stoked, because my house is still a big big pile of boxes. So I was all going to come home, unpack, make some progress....go me, right?

Yeah. I fell asleep.

Oops.
