Why am I so stressed?

Perhaps because my thesis is due in 5 short days. Or perhaps because I am so tired I could just fall over. In nursing school they always talk about a sense of "impending doom" as a sign of a heart attack. Perhaps I should use my lunch hour to walk down to the cath lab instead of the cafeteria...

We did it!

Things people in my life should know

1.) I started back to school this week. My professors still interrupt on a regular basis.

2.) I started new clinicals at the St. Francis ED. First 20 minutes: sutures, I&D, GI Bleed

3.) Dashel and I bought a house. We move next week. In case you were curious, buying a house is stressful.

4.) Last weekend we went to Steven's Pass for the weekend for my friend's 30th birthday. Now I want to move to Startup or Index or Sultan or Skykomish. This is a problem since we just bought a house (see #3)

5.) I am working TOO much. Let's not plan on being friends for a while.

over and out

Best bread recipe ever!!

Have you heard of the book Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day? It's amazing. So far I have only made the basic bread recipe but it was SO easy and you don't have to knead it! Yeah! You can use the bread dough for naan or pizza as well!

We don't have a pizza stone (and really need one) or a broiling pan (which we also need) so I used a cast iron skillet and cookie sheet which worked just fine although it did warp the cookie sheet after about the 10th loaf so beware!

Spring Break

I have officially completed 6 quarters of grad school and have only 2 left!! Yeah! Last quarter I worked at Planned Parenthood and a great Peds clinic in Burien. Next quarter I am in Federal Way at an ER which I am really excited about.

More importantly, I had the day off today for the first time in what seems like forever. I didn't have to work, I didn't have school and I didn't have homework! Whoa!! Also, Dashel was on his way out of town on a West Coast tour so I had the house to myself and nothing to do!

This resulted in me going on a 10 mile run with my dear friend Katherine, returning home and eating my favorite dinner, scrambled eggs w/black beans, spinach, tomatoes and LOTS of hot sauce (cholula is the best. tobasco is disgusting.).

After that I watched King Corn while making a delicious chocolate sheet cake w/buttercream and peanut butter frosting which was completely unnecessary and quite the contradiction but SO FUN!

I finished up a few loads of laundry and even washed the sheets! Now, I am off to bed by 10! What a day!

I LOVE SPRING BREAK!
