headache

i have a headache today. i think it is because, for the first time during my little vacation, i stayed up way too late.

i watched a movie on netflix online about a guy who has a stroke and has that locked-in syndrome. he apparently blinked out a book to someone and this movie was based on that. it was pretty good. sad, a little freaky. made me realize that it would SUCK to have locked-in syndrome.

anyway, kitty bopper kept trying to wake me up but i stood strong and slept until around 11:30. i thought maybe some coffee would help my throbbing head but the coffee maker was all smelly and moldy. i tried to clean it out but then the coffee i made tasted like soapy mold. i still drank a little before dumping it but i will probably puke later from it.

it is an absolutely gorgeous day today. it's the worst possible day to oversleep. but i will try to enjoy the rest of it as best i can. i am going to hit some tennis with laurent and then maybe take a jog. then it's off to mattapoisett for the weekend.

one more thing. i got this awesome thing for kitty. it's a little water cooler with a bowl attached. i wish it plugged in and kept the water cool. she prefers cool water. that's why she likes to drink from the toilet.

adios.

back

i am in the beginning of a 2+ month hiatus from structured life. in the coming months my job is to take step 2 of the boards, interview for residencies and discover the meaning of life. before i say anything else, i'd like to share a funny thing called the nietzsche family circus:

i looked at that last post from when i was on surgery. oh dear. i guess surgery was pretty tiring but, looking back on it in its entirety, it doesn't seem like it was so bad.

i have decided to go into family medicine and do primary care. this is my final answer and i am happy about it. now i have to figure out which program i want to go to.

ok. i am going to start facing this day. i think i will exercise while listening to spanish learning cds. maybe read harry potter. renew my gym membership. time off eventually makes me crazy so i'd better enjoy it while i am still sane.
