While inpatient medicine work hours isn’t as long as surgical hours, I’m still beat at the end of the day. I’m going into my black weekend tomorrow (working on Saturday overnight until Sunday) after having had 4 weeks of surgical floors followed by 8 straight weeks of inpatient medicine.  So instead of resting up, I spent the evening doodling.

snooze time

It’s been progressively harder for me to wake up every morning.  Can’t wait for vacation to roll around…

I came across an old magazine I inherited from one of my medical school roommates back in the day, and no matter how many times I see this, I always get a kick out of it.

If you want to know what doesn’t work to shrink your potbelly, you’re going to have to ask!

I like a clean environment. That is, one without dust, dirt, and whatever disease-causing fomites we can rid of without being overly compulsive.  This should not be confused with an organized environment. Believe me, I vacuum my living space regularly and keep hospital articles far away from my bed as possible. But I still struggle to keep myself organized. I tend to keep things I may not necessarily need, and objects pile up everywhere I go. I have been trying to purge with little success. Today is an example of what can happen if you don’t.

I have a shoddy bookshelf that I keep many things on–books, papers, trinkets.  I had a bookshelf. I’d say a third of its objects were important, like bills, receipts, and keys.  I have 2 boxes of books conveniently supporting the bookshelf on both sides.  Why that is, I don’t know. Perhaps that’s all $20 will buy these days. I was digging around in the boxes when I heard a crack. The next thing a pile of rubbish was all that was left.
