roar lions roar: accidental hiatus

Whoops, July continues to get crazier every year, i'm not sure what exactly it is about the month that makes it ridiculous but here's a few things to get you caught up

keith's parents and mine finally met for dinner and it went extremely well :) i started my pediatrics rotation the tuesday after the 4th of july and it's been a roller coaster month since than.

while i was driving home after my first day that i'd been sent home early because i was sick, the side panel trim of my door decided it wanted to rippp off into the left lane of traffic across the hood of some guys brand spanking new acura and did $1000 worth of damage. awesome. oh and it started raining on the inside of my car again. and this week my back left tire blew out on my way into work on 202 in 90 degree heat at 830am. i can proudly say that i did the whole thing myself until i had to actually had to get the tire off the car. i'd gotten off all the lugnuts and everything! i'd just given in and called AAA to get some help when i'd wandered out of the parking lot and over to the next business which happened to be an auto body shop and 2 of the guys there were kind enough to help me out. and my review mirror fell off on friday in the sweltering 100 degree heat.

i showed up to work 2 hours late the day after the pediatrician i'd been working with got fired. so far i've learned how not to treat the rest of your staff as a physician from this rotation. and how to make kids cry when trying to look in their ears.

i also passed step 1 of my boards which is a hugeeee sigh of relief and col's graduation party was this past weekend. the rest of the pics are here
