GOLDEN WEEKEND!!

We went to the beach for my first golden weekend in a long time. It was a wonderful trip. I basked in the sunlight (55 spf, of course). I strolled the beach looking for shells. I played with my 8 month old who was in a pretty good mood for most of the trip. I reconnected with my husband. I met minor sports celebrities on the plane on my way back. And I am not too sad to be back... seems vacationing me-style is more work than being on call in the CCU. It is a little hectic trying to get out of town with a baby for just a couple of days. So, I might try to pick a closer getaway next time.

Today, I am on call again. Several of my patients got discharged while I was basking in the sun. The one that remained is getting better; transferred to floor today. I have one admit that is going to the CCU proper- though with every passing minute and every liter of fluid off of him, it makes me wonder if he really needed to go there in the first place. My next one is same story, second verse but hasn't arrived here yet.

I'll probably get some thai food with my husband and child tonight if I am not too busy. So far, I have only had two admissions and it is 5pm. If I get another one soon, that will keep me busy for awhile. For now, it is cold coffee and more reading. Until they call me for orders.
