| Good thing I said I didn't want to go on that organ procurement at 2 in the morning, because apparently 10 min into the helicopter flight the helicopter started having some malfunction issues and had to return to base! Scary!

| Omg I really need to lose weight. I had this really depressing realization that I've gained about half of what I used to weigh since high school till now in additional weight. Granted, I had two kids. Problem is that I never lost the weight from either of them. Good thing I started out super skinny, because if I didn't, I'd be super obese by now (and I mean in medical terms)! I also realize that I used to have a lot more time to exercise. All through college, I would bike an average of 5 miles every day that was nice enough to go riding. And in med school, I would go to the gym all the time. Now, I hardly eat much, and I run around the hospital a lot, but I don't have time to work out. How depressing.
I've resolved that I really do have to start running again. Even if that's just around the block a couple of times. Biking isn't really a safe thing to do in the city. Not only is there a lot of traffic and not a lot of bike paths, but there are also uneven sidewalks and huge potholes everywhere. I don't have and can't afford membership at a gym, so I'll just have to use the park nearby. When the weather gets good, I'm going to get back into tennis too. In addition, I'm going to cut carbs big time. No bread or sugar. I'll have to eat only veggies and meat. Leafy salads with feta cheese and filet mignon. Just thinking about it is making me hungry now. Great. Sounds like a good plan.

| I walked around the hospital this morning with a sore left deltoid, wincing every time I tried to lift my arm above chest level. I wracked my brain trying to figure out what I had done to strain it. "I didn't lift anything heavy," I wondered. "The baby isn't that heavy! Maybe I'm carrying her around too much?"
Then it hit me. It was doing the panniculectomy yesterday. We literally removed 6 KILOS of pure fat from this lady's literally overhanging belly. It was so heavy, it was giving her arthritis and back and leg pains. With retracting and manipulating the tissues I felt like I should have been going to the gym a whole lot more often--who knew surgery was this physically demanding! It was definitely a workout for my upper arms!
No freaking wonder I was so sore!

| GOD I wish I had some money to go shopping.
So many things I need! Forget the "I want" list! Need a new vacuum, new lotion and bath gels, toys for the baby, closet organizers! Don't even know where to start first! It really sucks living with someone who has a completely different sense of style than you do. He keeps buying expensive dishes and vases and stuff that the OF COURSE the kids are going to break! You really can't get mad when that happens, because you're just asking for it!
Man I need to focus on studying! :(

| I've been playing around with the idea of wearing contacts for a while. I'm someone who can't stand the idea of putting something in my eye with the fears of infection, etc, but I know tons of people who do, so why can't I? Why do I like wearing glasses? It's a face accessory. I can hide behind them in a way that contacts leaves my face naked. And I also like being able to take them off to sleep without any problems.
But I really would like to wear super awesome sunglasses without them being mega expensive because they're prescription. I don't know. Maybe I'll take the plunge.
