Gina Bean!

I’m definitely feeling burned out on wards, but there’s still another week of nights to go.  Luckily I’m with good people all week and it always goes by more quickly than I expect it to.  Then I have clinic next month.  At least it’s good hours, right? PLUS, we have our trip to THE WIZARDING [...]

Getting to dress up for Halloween today at work was so fun!  I’ve missed out on getting to wear a costume to work for the past couple of years because I was on MBU and NICU, so this was very exciting for me.  My mom did an awesome job making my costume.  In fact, it [...]

Mom made my Halloween costume and I can’t wait to wear it tomorrow.  Pictures to come, I promise

I made a pumpkin dessert dish last night and brought it to work today.   Its name causes lots of giggles and jokes (yes, we’re that mature).   Paul, who’s in the PICU with The Big G this week, painted a pretty funny picture of himself high on the drug, acting buddy-buddy with the attending. [...]

Cloak – check.  Boots – check.  Robe – (almost) check.  Lightsaber – check.  May the force be with you.

I’ve decided the best way to get Moira to become more cuddly and affectionate is by pouncing on her and hugging her, Hobbes-style.  She’s handling it about as well as Calvin did.

Evan made focaccia bread today and it’s delicious!  It’s already almost gone (Anna and Bryan had some sandwiches on the bread too), so I may be bothering him to make some more again soon.  I think next on our list of breads to tackle will be baguettes.  Mmm, baguettes…

Since Peter Jackson announced Martin Freeman would be Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming movies based on The Hobbit, I’ve been eagerly taking in every little piece of news I can find and I am already so, so excited for when the movies come out.  I’ve started rereading the book, I’m wondering if I can pull [...]

Only 11 more hours of night float, and then I have a golden weekend to enjoy!  Woohoo!!!

Evan’s taken to writing on our dining table since he likes a big, open workspace.  Unfortunately the dining chairs aren’t the most comfortable to sit in for hours at a time since they don’t have any padding, so he’s started looking at office chairs to match the table.  This has nearly consumed him the last [...]

Social nightmares and neurology are the reasons I don’t like wards, and I feel like we’ve been overwhelmed with both all month.  Why can’t we get some nice, normal people every once in a while?!?

I honestly believe Moira is nicer and sweeter to me when I’m on nights.  Crazy little dog
