The Accidental Boilermaker

Nate says I look like Kate. It probably looked better before I worked out. But it won't look like this once it hits the shower tomorrow morning.

I just didn't have the energy to post anything this week. I don't have a lot of energy now either, but I thought I'd give a brief week-in-review. Monday and Tuesday, Kate and my mom were here on their way home from Decatur. Meredith came over for dinner too. Wednesday was just a really long day. Thursday, I got an embarrassing number of cavities filled and it rained all day. I went to the dentist in my running clothes in an attempt to force myself to get out and run in the rain (which did work). Friday, I fell asleep on the couch at 8:30 and Purdue lost. Saturday was my first Saturday at the new hospital - kind of stressful. I got to listen to a cardiologist try to scare the sh** into a patient to get him to quit smoking - I don't think scare tactics work, but that's just me. Got home around 12:30 and ran 12 miles while Nate went on his bike ride. C'est tout.

Don't tell Nate, but man am I bored. He and Meredith think I get bored all the time - which most of the time isn't the case. I'm mostly bored just during the weekend. NCIS was reruns on USA so I started watching the Colbert Report and then the Daily Show on Hulu, but then John Stewart was boring (kind of a recurring theme), so I went back to NCIS. Thankfully, it's one I haven't seen yet. Today was busy at work, but tomorrow there's no orientations so I negotiated a half day. Not the way you might think - I got my boss to let me work the morning so I can get my hours. He might have over 200 hrs PTO, but I sure don't. Not that I'm complaining.
