I Spy...

Spring! It's just around the corner!! The humongous piles of snow are turning into smallish piles of snow, and in the morning I wake up to the sound of birds chirping. Today, I ran outside and didn't have any life-flashing-before-my-eyes-as-I-slip-on-black-ice moments! Not only is the sunlight lasting longer these days, Daylight Savings is fast approaching - Sunday March 14 is in less than a week!

I LOVE SPRING!
I was a little shocked to see how long it had been since I'd last posted. The last 3 weeks were full of ... well, full. There was the crazy snowstorm, followed by several less-crazy (but still pretty crazy!) snowstorms. There were 2 weeks of not seeing my car due to the crazy snow. There was lots of shoveling (apparently 78 inches worth over 3 weeks). There was anxiety related my scholarly project - the writing of, and the delayed approval by mentor and committee of. There was anxiety related to the 29-week growth-restricted premie in the NICU who tried to die on me when both fellows, both senior residents, and both interns were either not in-house or were at a critical delivery... leaving me as the senior-most person on the floor. Bag-masking a tiny baby with a broken bag as she turns slate gray and her sats fall to 3% for nearly a minute? NOT. FUN. There was also a fair amount of anxiety related to wedding planning. And oh, my rank list was due. And Match Day is coming up. There's that, too.

There was also the Black Bag Ball ("Med School Prom") and nights full of cooking, eating & laughter with friends.

What's the saying?

In like a lion, out like a lamb.

Sounds 'bout right to me!
