It has been a while

It has been a while since my last post.  The reason being.....not much has changed.  Things are steady, predictable and too regular for me.  I like to shake it up a bit....everyday.  My wife can attest to that.  Routine is not my middle name, so I am having to adapt.  The past couple of weeks have been good.  I have seen my fair share of patients in the clinic, but have not been too busy. My roommate is taking off this week to head back to the states for some R & R.  I would say that I am jealous, but I would feel guilty.  He's been over here for 7 months and away from home for 10.  He deserves it.  In his absence I will enjoy a room all to myself for a couple of weeks.  If anybody's looking for a party, you know where I'll be.  Unfortunately, most days here are pretty busy for me, so by the time I get home I am ready to hit the sack.  People told me I would have all this downtime, but I haven't found that to be the case.  I get up around 6, I head out for jog, shower, sometimes chat with MP, then I bike over to the dining hall and eat till around 745 then bike to work, I grab a cup of coffee, and I catch up with the people in the clinic.  We open at 830, but most of the time I have found a first patient before then.  The clinic is open until 1200, at which time we go to lunch until 130.  We then open back up and close around 4-430 depending on business. I have some paperwork I do everyday before I leave so I'm usually out around 5.  I bike back to my CHU, and then usually catch up with my roomate for a few minutes and then head to dinner or a spin class or the gym.  I usually am home around 830 or 9 and I shower and finish up the day.  I'm usually in bed watching a movie around 10.  Rough day huh.:)  I can't complain.
