Month: July, 2010

Days off are far too short

31 July, 2010 (21:09) | home | By: Gina

After enjoying a Redhawks game post-call and staying up late, I feel like I basically slept my day off away.  I feel well-rested now, but wish I had more time to do other stuff too before going back to work tomorrow.  At least tomorrow is still just a half-day. Then more good ol’ family time. [...]

I am in love with this duck

And I can’t stop laughing at him.

Last call night!!!

29 July, 2010 (22:17) | Uncategorized | By: Gina

Tonight’s my final call night in the PICU this month!  I’ve even saved up my last day off for Saturday so I’ll be off for 42 glorious hours before I come back.  As much as I love this place, I’m rather tired at the end of the long month and am ready to move on [...]

It’s catching up to me!

28 July, 2010 (20:01) | home | By: Gina

Thanks to being busy with my family the last 3-4 days in a row, I’ve become even more sleep deprived than usual.  Unfortunately, I don’t think this is a wise way to get ready for another call night. So…off to bed I go.  At 8pm.  Like a little old lady

Dad – 1, Acura – 0

27 July, 2010 (22:07) | family | By: Gina

Over the weekend, Dad asked me and my sisters when we’d be free to trek up to the Acura dealership in Edmond with him.  We all decided on Monday, so off we went yesterday…Dad, Evan, my sisters, and me.  He wanted a black RDX with AWD and without the navigation system and they only had [...]

Moira’s Misadventures

26 July, 2010 (23:28) | the dog | By: Gina

Moira needs to get out of the house and socialize with other dogs.  She’s quite nice and friendly towards most people, but she takes time to warm up to dogs…probably because she thinks she’s a small, furry human.  Hopefully Evan and I will be able to take her to the dog park soon with Shaheen [...]

Residential Blues

Yaaaaaaawn

24 July, 2010 (20:55) | residency | By: Gina

As long and painful as my call night was last night (a code on the floor, a code in the PICU, plus some ridiculous number of admits), I still managed to rest a little bit more than the attendings I saw stumbling around blurry-eyed with me throughout the night.  Poor guys.  I hope they all [...]

Grumble grumble grumble

If I hadn’t had the day off yesterday, I think I’d be ready to punch someone by now.

What a wonderful day off

22 July, 2010 (19:03) | home | By: Gina

We slept in today until a ridiculously late hour (8am!), bummed around a bit, and went to see Inception (which was awesome, by the way).  I’m not madly in love with Joseph Gordon-Levitt like SOMEONE is, but I did think he did a very good job in it.  Then we came home, bummed around some [...]

Time to relax!

21 July, 2010 (22:21) | home | By: Gina

After a stressful couple of days, I get to take a day off, hang out with Evan, and go see Inception!  Hope it lives up to all the hype…especially all the hype from Michelle, who is seemingly now madly in love with Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

oooOOOooo!

Look at this!  It would match my Lego watch and my super-awesome Adidas kicks so perfectly!  It even makes me wish my car was silver so it could look a little like the Millennium Falcon…

Moira’s Misadventures

I thought Moira was excited to see me when I came home post-call today, but apparently she was really just interested in the stuff I was holding.  Mean little dog.

Residential Blues

I think the 2 months of laziness are catching up with me

17 July, 2010 (22:40) | residency | By: Gina

I’d been worried at the start of July that after being on a couple easy rotations back to back, I’d have a hard time adjusting to real work again in the PICU.  I actually felt fine until the last time I was on call Wednesday…and since then I’ve been exhausted.  I’ve slept a ton today [...]
