It's the time where resident boyfriend and I consider getting a pug. :o)
With the warmer weather and nutty schedules behind us (2 trauma rotations, 1 out of state rotation, my "I'm an ambitious idiot" school schedule), it suddenly seems very possible...and even like a good idea. We've submitted a few applications to adopt an older pug and have a few adoption events in the next coming months...so, we'll see how it goes. :0)
Besides that, I can't believe that officially half the year is over! (July 4th is the exact middle of a year, in case you didn't know.) Pretty soon, resident boyfriend will learn where he's going for fellowship, we'll have to put our condo on the market...and start hunting for places to live in Ohio. I used to be frightened at the idea of moving...but, now, I'm very excited especially because we'll be so close to resident boyfriend's parents...:o)
It's been a few months since I spoke to my siblings but, out of the blue, I got a call from my sister the other day. It was regarding some probate court matters...so conversation was fairly civil (if you cut out the sly remarks she likes to fit in). The odd part about speaking to her on the phone is how indifferent I was when we were done talking. I have wrote about this many times about how I have always worked towards improving our relationship, feeling like every conversation was an opportunity to make amends. It feels nice to give up responsibility for a change and accept that this is just how things are going to be. I'm sad in the sense that we used to pride ourselves on being the exception to the rule of sisters being ridiculously close...but, it's okay. Everyone has to grow up eventually and sometimes that means growing apart. With each day that passes by, I realize that her and I are two completely different people with completely different ideas of how the world works.
Work is, well....work. Resident boyfriend and I drove to work together last week as a way to save some gas...which ended with me waiting for 2 hours in the lounge because he got stuck in surgery. Fun, fun. Law of physics in motion, once again. :-P
My coworkers and I are getting along okay--especially since I won't be working every weekend in the fall. After the chaos of this summer, I came to a personal decision that I do not enjoy working every weekend. Instead of it making my life easier, I felt like I was always at school or work...and never had a day off. I'm planning on blending some "easy" evening classes with work to balance out the time off in the fall semester. I'm so excited that I'm going to have every other weekend off now--YAY to sanity! :-D :-D Not to mention, it eases tensions at work a bit.
School is winding down and will be done in a few weeks...followed by a wonderful vacation with resident boyfriend AND his family. Since we usually visit them or they visit us, it will be nice not to have to worry about cleaning up after a meal or house duties. We haven't seen the bf's folks in a few months so it will be very nice to hang out with them. :-D
Looking back on it, this has been such a chaotic summer! :-P
P.S. Folks who have written me emails--I promise that I will write back. Just wanted to let you know that I'm not ignoring you! :)

You almost had me wanting a dog... but I think it would be one more ball than I would be capable of juggling and my world would spin into chaos at that point. So, can we borrow yours? :)
Yeah for the return of sanity! Send it my way!
Oh Pugs are so cute...I work with someone who breeds them and she let me hold one of the newborns, they are the cutest!
I hope you get the right dog for you! They are a joy to have and are great company when the boyfriend is off working!
