леко разочарован.  frustrado. lidt frustreret. frustrated.

plain and simple, today was just frustrating. 

The computer systems at work crashed, so we had no patient charts. Good thing I know most of my patients, but seriously, would have been nice to be able to look up at least who my new 7:30 patient was .... At work I learned that starting monday I'll be up in our Marietta location 2 days a week  --- meaning my 1/2 day is no longer Weds. (Which is awesome since I have already scheduled a MD appt next weds afternoon and asked for some days off in July to go to San Fran and now will have to work that Wednesday and take more PTO) Not that Marietta is bad, and its only temporary for this summer, and it helps my company out A TON, but still, it's .... frustrating. Then I went to the doc to get my MRI results and talk some more about my aching hip -- which has only gotten worse. Basically, he said that the MRI guy said I have bursitis, but he didn't see it in the scans. Then tells me to just continue with what I'm doing. Hi, umm, what I'm doing has clearly not made it any better. But the doc really didn't care to hear it or help me problem solve. I was super frustrated. And I let him know that I was. ((Although I was very restrained in my choice of words. Quite proud of myself, however, he probably should have heard more than I said)) ...

And now ... I am a little less frustrated, but still in pain. And still frustrated. 

So what's next? Well, a second opinion and job sharing between 2 different locations. Hmmm... 

At least I have some stuff to look forward to here soon: 7 weeks till I see Ally and 8 till my new nephew Davis James is born!

simplicity

The simplest things are often the truest

(a quote by a guy I don't remember but should probably mention that it's not an original thought). 

However. 

Things that are true: smiles, smirks, grins, and daydreaming. 

Thankfully, they are all simple. 

Things that are not simple: distance, time, & the future.

Simplicity is not synonymous with the unknown (which all of the above are). 

Suggestion: KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. 

So, KISSes for all.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication (Da Vinci).

But then again, sophistication can also be over rated.

how to devour a cupie cake!

two hundred & twenty-two

two hundred & twenty-two is apparently the number of magnetic resonance images you can take in roughly 68 minutes of glorious torture inside a tunnel that makes you feel like a mummy. First time in one, no. Second or third, nope. Last time, I hope. 

But seriously, it was uncomfortable and I'm still paying for it today. However anxious the diagnostics lady made me with her fretful comments about 'this will give you some answers because it's definitely not normal' and her 'go home and prop your legs up and don't do anything till you see the doctor next week", comments may have made me, I still cannot wait to go out this weekend hiking to around the cabin with Robbie in tow (my cameras name in case you're new here -- affectionately named for the one that I was robbed of in LA).  

Until then, Happy Passover/Easter/Good Friday/etc to all.

if you know what any of this means, you could call me. haha

all or nothing

This weekend was nothing like I planned and everything I could have hoped for. 

(Well, almost everything). 

But seriously, about time I truly felt like I got a good solid weekend off from my norm. 

life as we know it

Well, not a whole lot new here on the home front ... SIKE.

Haven't been blogging simply because I've not had much to say. Things are going really great for me lately. My best
"used to be Hawaiian" friends + baby move home in less than 48 hours, my favorite local Atlantan has been keeping me company here and there, reconnected with another old friend, and I still love my job, pets, and condo. 

On the flip side, I've been too unmotivated to start another DIY condo project, my left hip feels like it wants to amputate itself (and at this point, I'd let it), and I've still not lost a single LB even since my last doc appointment despite all my efforts in increasing my exercise -- until this hip nonsense -- and decreasing my caloric intake. ((Swear I could care less what the scale says, its just frustrating or more irritating really, especially since I've been super motivated by seeing a sexy shirtless guy sleep on my sofa here and there the past 2 weeks)).

All in all, I've got a lot to vent about here and there, a lot of joint pain to ignore here and ... here .. and here ... and .. here. You get the point, and absolutely no real complaints with my life right now!

Happy Wednesday!
