Just Checking In
Hi everyone,
Well, here it is - another rainy night. But instead of cuddling with two super cute kids, I have to get ready for my hubbies holiday party. It is at a Russian restaurant, so we know what that means - vodka will be the main item on the menu, because food is NOT their specialty. Oh well. I just wanted to check in and let you all know that all is well on my end. I have been keeping myself VERY busy, even picking up another part-time job. The good news is that I can do it from home, on my own schedule, and I really enjoy the work. So it is good for everyone.
I also wanted you all to know that fear not, I am not letting my little cancer nodule go to waste by just removing it. I was just asked last week if I would be willing to play patient for a couple of young adults who are in their first year of med school. Of course, I couldn't resist. Why shouldn't people learn from this fun experience. (ha, ha) So, I went over and met them. They couldn't have been more gracious. They asked me lots of questions - like when you go to the doctor for the first time. And then they got to FEEL the cancer. I think that was the highlight for them...obviously. Their faces lit up with excitement. It was very cute. Now the teaching doc wants them to watch the surgery. I am all for it as long as they stay FAR, FAR away from the table. :) I believe in teaching, but I have done my part for that having had a c-section at Stanford by a fellow who was training a resident. Uh, can you close me up more quickly please? Okay, so, I don't want to go down that road again. But watching is all good.
Well, that is about all of the excitement on this end. Time to get dolled up for the party. I hope today is the start of a wonderful vacation for you all. What is my lesson for the day? Hmmmm. Contribute to the learnings of the young? No, no, no. Waste not, want not. Okay - good enough. Good night for now.
