Exhausted

July 9, 2015July 19, 2015 Crankygiraffe10 Comments

I've been back at work for a week now, and I'm exhausted.  I'm also feeling my long-gone grumpiness creeping  back to get me.  I'm sure it's all a combination of just coming back from vacation, having been on some pretty slack rotations before that, not getting enough sleep, and working 11+ hour days every day.… Continue reading Exhausted

Old Habits are Hard to Break

July 3, 2015 Crankygiraffe1 Comment

On my second day back at work, I am beginning to realize how much has changed since this time last year.  I am back on service (finally) in the same hospital I started at last July.  It is such a great feeling to be back in the gynecology ORs and delivering babies in the case… Continue reading Old Habits are Hard to Break

Based on my cycle tracking, I suspect that I may have ovulated last weekend.  I don't know for sure, mainly because of the timing of my IUD removal and the earlier than expected LMP/withdrawal bleed.  Sunday morning, Husband and I bid each other good-bye and he drove me to the airport. On Monday, the first… Continue reading Body Talks

Leaving on a Jet Plane!

June 7, 2015June 7, 2015 Crankygiraffe5 Comments

I'm all buckled in and ready to go for a solo trip across the country.   I'm very excited for 5 days to myself, for reading, running, relaxing, networking, and attending this year's National Ob/gyn conference.  Oh, and I'm excited for the conference swag... Who am I kidding... Maybe I'm most excited about the swag!… Continue reading Leaving on a Jet Plane!

Blogger Friends Got Ideas!

Yesterday, after my Alter Ego, Cranky Giraffe, posted about my son’s crazy little love letter to his newest idol, Lady Gaga, an old old blogging friend tweeted it, with an idea that maybe he could meet her!  I know the likelihood of it being re-tweeted by anyone other than myself is pretty low… But who […]

It’s Been a Long Time…

“It’s been a long time since I came around Been a long time but I’m back in town And this time I’m not leaving without you” ~Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) I know I haven’t been here blogging for quite a long time (almost a year and a half…), but there was something about blogging that […]

The Common Sense Problem

The airplane seat map shows that the emergency exit row seats are considered “less desirable.” It’s a little ironic since they come with extra leg room, even if they don’t recline (really, who needs to recline 2 inches when you have two extra feet of leg room?). I think the real reason they are less […]

Walking Tall

This month I’m traveling around the country to check out fellowship positions. It is exhausting, trying, lonely, and often confusing. Most of all, I miss my kids. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how fellowship and moving to one of these places would fit into the current, ideal, little life of […]

Happiness, Please

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that, but simply growth.  We are happy when we are growing. ~John Butler Yeats, 1909 Is there a difference between pleasure and happiness? I had never really thought much about it until today.  My husband sent me an interview by Dr. Robert Lustig, who just […]
