Kelly: Matt and I had planned to explore a new town/city this Saturday after my "short" 7:30 AM call. When I got home much much later than expected at 3:00, stores were closed and darkness was preparing to descend. Bummer. We spent the evening talking to family and watching Rick Steves Europe DVDs...love them and an early night to bed. The DVDs focused on France. The south of France looks amazing...the food, the landscape, the history. It just movedto the top of the travel list...come on spring!!!
We woke to light tapping noises to find sleet hitting our window...no morning walk for me. The sleet changed to light snow which is still falling as I write this. Today we were considering visiting a local town for a red wine walk...even it I were a little tipsy, the cold would still feel cold! So, we'll spend the day grocery shopping at the Commissary, cooking, listening to our favorite radio shows (a health show for me and a political show for Matt) and travel planning.
This week was weird. It was a short week in theory but a bit stressful and long in reality. I presented my program to two tough groups at the hospital, was recruited to move to another program in the hospital only to find out that the recruiter and my supervisor HATE one another...not a good scene. A kind co-worker pulled me aside and warned me that the nice recruiter was more of a snake-oil salesman. And I had to go in at 6:00 for a mandatory unpaid briefing. The politics are ridiculous! Matt and the male part of our sole couple-friendship went to a battlefield in France. I think he had a really good time. I'm so glad that he is pursuing the things that he enjoys, despite the lack of steady work, which I know is constantly on his mind.
I'm trying to be more positive and focus on the present, which reminds me what an education this adventure is.
