The blessings are almost too many to count! This past weekend I spent most of my time with the lady friend. She wrote me the nicest card for valentine's day and got me a box of her favorite chocolate.
We enjoyed most of Saturday night and Sunday morning together and then went to crossfit.
Last week was a smooth and easy week. The BSFCR quiz was do-able - I got a 90 most likely.
I've been keeping up with a lot of questions and have lost the extra weight I put on around unified.
Midterms and Turkey are getting closer. Recently I've been going to a lot more meetings with SCORA to make sure that things are going smoothly. Ghislaine is doing a wonderful job and I'm really hoping that the program continues to thrive.
3 nights in a row I was with mi chica. It's a really special feeling you get when someone looks at you and wants to hear about you, enjoys your touch, and laughs at all your jokes. The same pull goes the other way - you want to share the joy of their success, support them in their struggles, and listen to their wonder about things.
There should be some useful tools on my way: an exercise monitor, a smartphone, and a book on meditation.
I had the special privilege of going to a beachside yoga practice recently. Something about the group atmosphere makes me connected and happy.
The doorframe experiment has had a lapse, but today I will pick it back up. Everytime I walk through a door I will breathe deeply, smile, and stand up straight. I will take in what is on the other side and approach it with friendliness.
Midterms are next week. Staying strong :)

fire out the gate
Monday morning was fantastic blend of confusion and excitement. I did a question block, watched some videos, shored up and submitted an assignment, made a delicious concoction of cabbage, eggs, garlic, and onions for lunch and had a balanced day.
Sunset yoga was phenomenal tonight! It only cost 5 EC and I felt so refreshed and tired after. There were locals and students. We did a lot of twists, leg stretches, and a split legged bend that I want to try between blocks.
I'm getting closer to a routine which I will do between question blocks.
Mi chica ran into me and we had breakfast with the clinical tutor who I think is named Gustac or something like that. It was a nice twist on forgetting my lunch.
I came home at noon and focused on lectures and drugs. My friends and I are planning to meet Wednesday either before or after salsa. It is getting easier to focus. On Rx it displays a score which we would get if we were taking the test right now. Mine is 202. That means I would pass - barely.
Right now I'm grateful for time, fellowship, and the chance to do it better.
Every day I do it slightly better. Scheduling is key. Discipline is paramount. Although I skipped the run today, I had an excellent crossfit workout.
Tomorrow I will try to sign up for the ITLS course, submit my final paperwork for the integrative medicine selective, email Dr. Baldwin and Dr. Ross. Round at the hospital with peidatrics, and kick butt in lectures. I don't have anything social planned - today felt lonely at times, but that turned around when I went to yoga.
The hospital should be enough contact.
Really, I'm grateful for this time to realize how much there is to know and I'm grateful that there will come a time where I will not go for a day without talking to someone (unless I decide to be a pathologist).
The weekend was full of joyful early morning and late night moments. Last night was a brief review of biochem and a romp with mi chica. She makes everything brighter. That's something I don't want to think about too much - and I'm glad that I have time for now.
Now it's time to sleep. This week is starting off strong.

Today I woke up at 5:15, felt my sore legs, rolled over and slept until 6:15. After waking up I left the coffee on without water, had some oatmeal, cooked an amazing lunch but forgot it. I spent many hours today listlessly learning random facts.
130 firecracker Q's
13 Rx Q's
2 videos
Sonic 3 lectures
Ankified 65% of antiarrhythmics
Finished my ICM assignment
Reviewed 17 cards
Today I did many other nonspecific things
Had an excellent talk with Dr. Baldwin
Attended my honors meeting
Danced with the PR girl for 15 minutes
Had a good chest workout
Met a pediatric cardiologist who practices in Cinci
Talked to a few friends
Folded and put a way my laundry
Bought some groceries
Talked to Taryn about the ITLS selective
SHOR requested my UWorld subscription
Looked at residency satisfaction rates
Meditated for 15 minutes
It was a very light day but I'm ok with that. I feel like I didn't do much but then I look at what I did accomplish and it doesn't seem too bad. Tomorrow I will go to ICM in the morning, visit Dr. Gray, visit Dr. McCann, and ankify the rest of antiarrhythmics. In the evening I have to kick into gear with more study. Tomorrow morning a run might do me good.
I'm supremely grateful for sleep, exercise, friends, and music.
I wore a light white shirt and khaki shorts. People were impressed that it wasn't as scraggly as usual.
