Friday Five

Today's Friday Five invites us to share five things that made getting out of bed worthwhile this morning. I'll admit it, it was a tough thing this morning!

My new book: Technically it's not mine, I'm only borrowing it for the week. But I'm really getting into it and there is the distinct possibility that I will finish it during the week I have it. I'll say more about it in a few weeks in my post on my second unit of CPE.

Being on call: I love my job, and I love being on call. It's kind of ironic that, as I started, being on call was the thing that TERRIFIED me the most. Now it's one of my favorite parts of the job.

Music: Driving to and from work (when snow and ice aren't involved) is actually kind of enjoyable for me. I have some good music on my phone that helps give me some good "me" time.

The weekend: I knew that the sooner I got up and went to work, the sooner I could come home to a day completely off!

Bright ideas: I have started keeping a list of things that might make some good research work for me in the event that I do decide to do a Level II residency. It makes it harder for my supervisor to say no when it's a research project that she suggested! I'm enjoying doing some of the preliminary research just to find out what is there (and the more often I find nothing, the more excited I get about the possibility of actually coming up with something to publish!)

Self Care for the Week: Therapy on Wednesday - I really do look forward to my appointments and I hate when I can't engage the way I want to, so I'm glad this week was better than last. I found out about some good things, and there's lots of good stuff on the horizon, so that is exciting.
