Who is The Giraffe?

I’m a woman… a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a surgical resident.

I struggle with the everyday issues of trying to keep my life together with some element of dignity and poise, but it’s not always easy.  And if life isn’t already complicated enough, I am beginning to realize that the past life I try to suppress finds a way of complicating the new life I strive hard to keep together.

Despite my challenges, both past and present, I spend all my time doing the right thing…
I can be cynical, grumpy, and emotional, yet I keep it to myself most of the time.

While the “real me” tries hard to behave and conform, The Cranky Giraffe does no such thing.
