weary drudgery

i have this rare morning of freedom because i am ditching some morning didactics for surgery, my current rotation... one of the benefits of rotating through so many departments (they don't keep track of your whereabouts!)...

life is so different now than it was a year ago. my idea of a good evening is to curl up on the couch with the hubby to enjoy a tivo'd tv show or movie. i go to bed as early as possible- usually 9:30pm. i've now gotten used to answering pages thus- "this is dr. park, [insert service of the month here], i was paged?" i haven't had dduk bo ssam in well over 5 months.... 3 months and counting for pinkberry. ;) oh how quickly one's lifestyle/life can change.

for me, the changes occur every month as i go from one rotation to the next. i went from 2 psych months to 2 family medicine months- currently on general surgery. i had two months of free weekends, and now i still have every other weekend off-- but it's a total of 4 free days for the month. as opposed to 8. makes a big difference, especially when i'm running around like a headless chicken doing floorwork for 13+ hours every day. i'm realizing that i'll be really happy NOT to be an intern.



it's not all drudgery though- got a chance to go to the CALIFORNIA STATE FAIR this past weekend, with the other Park family up here in Sacramento- David, Tayler, A x 3

mmm... artery-clogging fair food...

the other park family - tayler, about to chow down on some dippin dots; dave with ava in dave's lap; andrew and allison, enjoying a spectacle of young dance students doing some hiphop routine (and wondering when they'd get to go home)

twas a lovely day. saw real live cows, ate enough fried food to last a lifetime, wandered through all of the exhibits, and called it a day when my tired deconditioned bones decided i'd had enough of the scorching sun. good times in sacto.
