I want to dream
And then I want to wake up
I want a break
But I don't want to break up

Just finished a pretty long Saturday on-call. The resident coming on to relieve me this morning is in Psych and I felt pretty bad for her having to do medicine call. There are benefits of having a broad background in medicine, but it must be hard to be interested in adjusting insulin orders when that will really have nothing to do with your future job.
As I was reviewing the 3rd intentional overdose patient on our list, she says
"Yeah, well, it's November".
It's obvious, but November kind of sucks. No more pretty fall. No pretty winter yet. Snow sports are usually still pending. Daylight savings kicks in and you start walking home in the dark. The only holiday involves standing around outside thinking about how brutal humans can be to each other. It rains, it snows, it rains again.
Bleh.
Sorry to be such a downer. Only one more day of November.
Just so no one thinks I'm going to be number 4 on the list tomorrow, I will reassure you by talking about some of the fun things I've done recently.
We actually went snowboarding at Powder King last weekend. There was lots of snow. It was fun and a good workout.
I've been swimming more. There is a sweet steam room at the public pool here, and I find I can usually motivate myself to awkwardly move myself through the water for half an hour if I know a sweet steam room is my immediate reward.
We have booked holiday time for mid-January. No sure what we will do yet.
