You've got a face to call home.

I may have said this before, but I'm not so good at updating this blog when I'm not in school.  BUT seeing as I'm done with school for good now, I have to make myself take some time during my lunch break sometimes to do it.  I just have to.

Mom and I are going to New York for the weekend, and I'm just so very excited.  I haven't been since two Novembers ago, and that's just far too long.  There was a second of time when TC and I were discussing taking a short honeymoon there right after the wedding, but we've since changed that plan to New Orleans to save a little more money for the big France trip next fall.  I'm going to get my fill of pastrami and bagels and Broadway and pizza and Barney Greengrass and the best cookies on Earth while I can.  Oh, and shopping.  As I've already found and purchased my wedding gown, we're going to look for a gown for Mom.  And of course there'll be H&M.  There's ALWAYS H&M.

Man, this wedding stuff is tiring.  It's super fun, but it's a little strange feeling like I get to make the decisions and that it's about me.  I've never been huge on party planning, but it's fun.  Honestly, I've gotten past the initial excitement about MY WEDDING and gotten back to the point of it being a day celebrating TC's and my decision to share our lives together.  I truly can't wait to be his wife.

Work has actually felt like work lately.  Now that I'm finished extending my adolescence and graduated from college, I have to work every day like a grown-up.  I don't hate it, but I'm just reminded of how much easier it is to work when patients aren't here.  I get so much more done on Tuesdays and Thursdays, AND I can be more relaxed.  Especially since right now we have a few patients who are just mentally exhausting.  And since my "office" is in the lobby, they think I'm here to talk about senseless things while they wait an hour for their transportation to come get them.  I don't dislike patients.  I just dislike some people.  But I'm never rude to them.  I know better than that.
