Chili Yum Yum

I have done it! The apartment is SPOTLESS! It’s such a great feeling. I’ve been wanting to get it done forever. Tomorrow we’re steam cleaning the carpet and shopping for our last few decorations AND Christmas gifts!!! This evening has been so relaxing. I turned on some jazzy Christmas music, lit some candles, and got a shower before Stephen came home. When I got out it was...

Cleaning Day

So I have successfully organized and cleaned out our entire apartment - except for the bookshelves…which I’m doing today. It’s so nice. Everything is easy to find and so accessible. So today is the dreaded… cleaning day! *insert dramatic music here*. The day that I actually dust, run the sweeper, clean up the layers of soap scum and hair in our bathroom, and do the pile of...

Success!

So I didn’t post pictures like I said I would, but trust me, it wouldn’t have been that interested. I spent all day in the kitchen and laundry room and it doesn’t look like I did anything at all……UNTIL you open the cabinets!!! I wiped everything out and organized it all. It looks GREAT! I can’t believe how much dust I got out of the laundry room either....

And thus....break begins

Hello everyone! It’s been a while. Rotations kept me pretty busy so I didn’t have much time for blogging. Now…I’M ON BREAK! Woohoo. I’m finally back with Stephen and I have a lot of free time - which scares me a little. I thought it was going to be great, but Monday and Tuesday I did a bunch of nothing and was super bored. I promised today would be different though....

Blessed

Hello everyone! I just finished up a rotation at the West Virginia Poison Center (which was CRAZY) and started my new rotation on Monday at Cabin Creek Health Center with my classmate Leah. Our first day was kind of a bummer. We sat down at computers and look through medical records from 9:30 am to 4:15 pm. Our preceptor wanted us to get a good feel for how everything was set...

Arctic Thunder Baby

Hello everyone! Long time, no post. A lots has happened since I last posted. I spent some time in the diabetes clinic, and also the pediatric clinic. I love them both. Renee is a wonderful preceptor and a very cool person in general. I got to do A LOT of patient counseling and learned lots about topical steroids, asthma, and some great tips on how to get children to take their medicine. Diabetes...

Hello MTM, will you be my friend?

Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I posted a text blog. I was going to do a video blog, but since I’ve already washed my face and I’ve got my glasses on, I decided I would spare the world my disheveled, tired face. Today started out a little poopy, but got a LOT better. I wasn’t really able to sleep last night and woke up really tired with a tummy ache. Awwww, sadness,...

Short Post

I had a fantastic day at the coag clinic today! I’ve got two patient visits tomorrow, and a ton of reading, so this is going to be short. Brian is my preceptor right now. He’s a great teacher and is helping me gain some confidence in warfarin therapy. He sent me home with a ton of reading. Yay! We went for a run when we came home. Then ate dinner. Yeah, I’m boring, but I’m...

Yay Education!

Holy crap. That’s all I can say. This day has been great. Woke up around 6:00 am and hit the snooze button a few times. Even though it’s bright outside, 6:00 am is still 6:00 am! We got ready and walked over to the Alaska Native Consortium where we had our intake. We realized last night that we should have previously gotten a drug screen and were freaking out about what they were going...
