Being an intern on the wards has zapped the life out of me. All I have really done since the 28th of July is is sleep as soon as I walk in the door at home, eat when I can find food, answer my non-stop pager and admit, treat and discharge my patients. There isn't much time for anything else. I am trying to eat enough so that my pager doesn't pull my pants down. Monday was my first day off since I started the wards. My mom came into town and we went to the frame shop to start the process of framing almost all the wood-block prints from Japan and the other artwork we acquired while in Asia. I can't wait to fill my blank walls! Nothing else exciting going on in my life other the anticipation of going down to Florida in three weeks.
OHH and my birthday that is fast approaching...August 17th. I am thankful to have the day off from work and am not sure yet how I will celebrate. This morning, I got an email reminding me of Dustin's birthday (as if I could forget) it would be next Wednesday, the 13th. This will be the first year of my life that we won't be celebrating our birthdays together. I miss him dearly, think of him daily and am still wishing it were all a bad dream.

I'm thinking about you. Can't wait to spend time with you at the end of the month!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GWIN !!
Get plenty of rest today. I'll call later this afternoon.
Thanks for the phone call on Wed. I miss Dustin, too, but my counselor says that after the first year it gets better. She lost her husband 2 yrs ago.
I love you,
Cathy
