2 glorious years ago today I escaped the northeast and came to paradise. Ahhh... I do feel like I've been on the world's longest vacation, despite the long, hard hours of studying and work. The hundreds of intense hours I spent in the Prem Reddy classroom already seems like a thousand years ago, and Connecticut? Fuzzy in my mind.
I spent the weekend celebrating my 2nd anniversary as a California resident in much the same fashion that I have spent most weekends -- dare I say, partaking in "my usual routine" -- eating, drinking, and relaxing next to a large body of water. Yesterday after I got off a 13-hour overnight shift, I went straight over to Beth's and soon found myself lounging poolside, eating fabulous Italian fare and drinking wonderful glasses of Prosecco, blissfully passing the afternoon and evening away. Today, Deb and I headed off to my favorite spot in Newport Beach with my sis and Brother in law for the afternoon. I'm over the beaches in Malibu. Too crowded, to noisy, and too far of a drive. My heart now belongs to Crystal Cove.
Tonight will be an early night, as I have to be back at the hospital at 5.30am for another day on the OB/GYN ward. Friday night was insanely busy - I had patients to see in the ER, the ICU, the surgical ward, on top of delivering a few babies and scrubbing in for a c-section surgery. I don't think I sat down for more than 7 minutes total the entire night. I'm hoping tomorrow is just as busy - I like it when there's a ton going on and lots to do. I feel energized by the frenetic pace.
That said... must go wash my scrubs and get myself together.
