Wild Wednesday

This is more of a place to update my friends and family on what is going on in our day-to-day lives. Being in medical school and studying all the time means that I don't have much variety in my life, but I'm OK with that, as long as there is an end date.

Yesterday was kinda fun and a little different. I was struggling to study and stay focused. Roger came home at 5:30 and we were suppose to be at a spouses dinner for the first years at 6. The dinner is for first year married couples to meet with second year married couples to get advice, encouragement and contacts. Well, Roger came home sounding like James Earl Jones, his throat sore and not feeling well, so we decided to stay home instead.

Immediately, being the doctor-in-training that I am, I set up a recovery schedule for the night. We sat and talked about his day and just anything until 6:00. At that time I went and made us eggs in a basket (multiple ways so i could get the hang of it) and waffles. It took me a while to get the hang of eggs over easy, especially the over part. Molly got the first egg and didn't complain at all that I had broken the yoke. Then Roger and I ate our wonderful breakfast for dinner.

Next on the agenda was to watch two shows on hulu. Since we had already watched the new Burn Notice, it was Covert Affairs and an episode of The Good Guys. After that, Roger was to relax for the next hour and a half, not doing anything. His options were to take a bath or play on the computer. He complied with my request, only because he didn't want to fight his doctor. I spent that time studying. We both went to bed at 9:30 and both got some much needed sleep. Even Molly was hard to wake up this morning.

I told Roger that he had to call into work today so that he could rest and get better. He has not yet received his doctor release to go back to work tomorrow. Although I have enjoyed his new deep voice, making him say all kinds of fun things, from radio commentary to television commercials, I want him to feel good again. But with any cold, it's simply a process of waiting it out.

Well, that's all the excitement for now. I have a day full of studying today and a real patient to interview tomorrow, so I have to brush up on my exam skills. adios.
