My life the last few weeks...

It was pointed out to me that I have not written in awhile. My excuse is that life hasn't been too exciting to talk about... Here's my life thus far...

* Everyone has bronchitis. And they expect me to work a miracle. Bronchitis sucks, but I can't make it go away any faster. Sorry.
* There'a house I drive by every day that recently went up for sale. From the outside I love it. Good thing it's $289,000... way out of my price range. If it was half that, I might be looking at buying a house. Not a chance at that price.
* I saw my first patient with mono. Wasn't expecting that, but ran the test just to rule it out. Turns out it was positive.
* And I'm pretty sure there's an influenza-type something going around that isn't showing up on the rapid-flu tests.
* I think rumor is getting around there's a female provider at the clinic that nobody knows. I'm getting more STD patients than anyone else. I had to tell a 46 year old woman she has genital herpes. I had listen to a girl younger than me tell me about her abusive boyfriend she won't leave. And another my age tell me about how her cheating fiance gave her chlamydia.
* I hung out last weekend with a guy I went to high school with and his wife. Hadn't seen him in years. Then we realized we lived in the same town. That was pretty cool.
* She grew up in Lino Lakes and knows people I know... small world.
* Finally found a Bible study of young professionals to hang out with. Other people at a similar point in life as I am, wonderful!
* In a week I'll have a dog. Well, not my dog, Kurt's dog. Kurt joined the national guard and is leaving for basic training and AIT and I get to watch his dog, Daisy, until December or so. She's a great dog. And it's even better since she's very well housebroken and can be alone for at least 12 hours without peeing on anything. Perfect for my job and my long days.
* My hands are so dry from washing them all day. The soap is horrible. I can't keep up putting lotion on them, because as soon as I put lotion on them during the day, I wash it off agian. Seriously, my hands need a new alternative. Super-moisturizing soap or something.
* I love sleeping. I wish I could do it more. 5:30am comes really early some days.
* Edy's is making Girl Scout Ice Cream. I have a coupon. Super excited for Girl Scout Cooking Ice Cream.
* My baby sister is getting married... In June. well, she's not a baby, she's 21. So that's a little crazy...
* That's my life thus far... nothing extradorinarly fun. Just my life! :)
