Well, it has been a realtively busy weekend this past weekend. Unfortunatly, it has not been too busy... I have just been trying to photographically document things more. I figure that since a picture speaks a thousand words [sometimes more if recollections of sentiment are brought forth and sometimes less if either speechless wonder or nieve ignorance are met] I would save myself some typing and just post some pictures of the things that have been going on.
I enjoyed going to the football game on Thursday against Auburn... although I left just before half-time. The reason that I left was multi [poly?] fold. First, there was intermittent rain throughout the evening [not always fun to be in when you know you have a long walk back to the car]. Second, we were losing by a good bit, but as it turns out if I would have stayed to the end it was an exciting fourth quarter and finish [although we still lost to the #2 team in the nation]. Third... I have 2 words for you "Grey's Anatomy". That's right, since it has been moved to Thursday nights this threw a wrench in the chain and I had to get back for at least some of it, which was good, BTW. Fourth and finally, I had to get up early Friday for rounds at the hospital, gotta love work!
Speaking of work... on Friday one of the procedures that we did was a facial fat injection. Fat was harvested [that is a harsh word for it... but it is not a delicate procedure!] from the abdomen and then placed in the buccal/maxillozygomatic area of a 15 year old boy. He was born with a hemifacial hypoplasia and has undergone various distractions and surgeries, and this procedure was meant to fill out part of his face in attempt to bring more symmetry.
At some point friday, I went to the gym and did a little light lifting. By gym, I mean the infamous 'Bubble'. Yep, I did a crossfitesque workout, which 'hit the spot' so to speak. Definatly much neded, much missed and much to be done again. I love that stuff!!!
Friday night was Mike's birthday [friend and classmate of mine]. So, I figured that I would show a pic of the kid enjoying his 25th with the ever-so-popular Everclear Smoothie at Dr. Rocco's. Happy Birthday MIKE!!! We had a pretty durn good ol' time. We went out to dinner at Yo Burrito [enjoyed the steak poquito burrito] and then went back to my place and had a bottle of Ben Yocum vintage Gewurztraminer circa March 2006. It went down well and then we headed down town. Unfortunatly, I called it an early night because... what is the theme for calling early nights... yep, that's right, I had to go and round in the morning. But, Mike, thanks... it was fun and I hope to do it again sometime.
Saturday, after rounds, I went out to Blaire's [another classmate of mine] Miles for Melanoma fun run. It was a 5K out at Lake Carolina, which is a cute little community about 20 miles out of town. It was an absolutely gorgeous community to run around and I was glad that I went after rounds for the brisk morning jog. I am not sure of the turn out, but there were about 30 people that ran and it was all for a good cause. As it turns out, I came across the line first with a time of 18:55. Not to bad, I felt.
On my way back, I spotted some youths [more than just two youts] raising money for their LaCrosse team by giving car washes. So, I figured it was for a good cause and Driver needed a bath anyway... and went ahead and donated the money to have my Driver bathed.
Sunday has been a much more relaxed day... spendin some time studying, throwing some javelin at the track and playing some flag football [won 39-0... yours truly had 3 interceptions [2 for TDs], 4 TDs total... and did a little QBing... good times]. Between those things I got a chance to donate funds from my bank account toward the wonderful cause that is 'food for my belly'. It was a donation that was well worth it. I was also happy to finally finish cleaning up my house [our house... since Ben lives here to... oh to have a famous winemaker present is every guy's dream!]. You know, things like sweeping, swiffering, laundry, dishes, bathroom stuff, et cetera. So, it was pretty relaxing listening to some Coldplay and 311 and yet productive at the same time. Who knew that you could hit two beautifully wonderful birds with the same cushion [not stone, since that would be mean to the fowl, which is not fair... hence; yes fowl not fair].
Alas, off to bed this evening hoping for some good shuteye. I probably was not supposed to have shut-eye this eveing as I found out this afternoon I was supposed to be on call [since Dr. Friedman is on call], but what can I do when I find this out the day of at 3-4 in the afternoon? I guess that means I will be taking call some time early this week. We'll see. I definatly will be taking call on October 9th, and should be taking call at least one more day BEFORE that. Anywho, enough rambling with the fingers and time to get REMbling with the brain.
