Merrily We Go Along...

Huh. Not much to tell recently. Working a lot because several of the other Registrars have asked to switch shifts w/ me to take exams and so on. I've been doing a few things, including my first solo Bier's block the other day. Getting the system down at work. To be honest it's still a little odd to me. “Bacteremic dialysis patient? Sure, give him some vanco and I'll follow it up in my office.” I guess you can handle it that way... And mental health services in Tassie are just beyond my understanding. Oh, the view from the hospital toward my house...

Let's see-- what else? The Daily Show is back on the web; every few days I watch an episode of Battlestar Galactica on mail-order DVDs. Finished a book a friend gave me about an emotionally distant physician who can't make a romantic commitment and then contracts TB (yeah, some people are hysterical). Made it to lesson 7 on “Introducing Guitar: Book 1,” which is just beyond “Mary had a little lamb,” though here the tune is called "Merrily We Go Along." The cold/swine flu/pneumonia complex has gone, and I'm now no longer short of breath walking to and from work, so I'll start exercising again (goal: 9:00 min mile for ½ marathon...). The ants have been subdued and a study schedule posted. Plans have been made for my first trip to Melbourne for a medical procedures seminar. Now, time to get a car to see about doing some hiking here in Tassie-- already marked some trails.






Attached are a few pictures of the environment. Many houses have this elaborate trim which is apparently typical of Victorian architecture (and knowing is half the battle). What I love is the one for sale sign that mentions the benefits of "Inner City Living." That's awesome.





All's well so far. There are definitely some frustrations at work, battles that should've been fought, etc. But all in all it's not too bad. Now that I'm feeling a bit better, it's time to do some exploring.


For those who don't know, a little wisdom from Queen and Bowie...


'Cause love's such an old fashioned word

And love dares you to care for

The people on the edge of the night

And love dares you to change our way of

Caring about ourselves

This is our last dance

This is our last dance

This is ourselves

Under pressure

Cheers,

  1. If you need more DVDs, I have many favorites to recommend (I'm obsessed with TV on DVD). I'll even mail things to you all the way there. :-)
