Who doesn’t want to look younger/live longer? Sound like an infomercial? It’s not- this is a great article: Fountain of Youth: Exercise. Basically, exercising regularly is great not only for your heart and waistline (which are directly related, by the way), it also wards off gray hairs, loss of brain mass (and potentially dementia), and …
Finally, it’s a new month, and I feel 100% better! I’m on a different rotation now- I’m on internal medicine! It’s much better, and even though I have to work every weekend this month, I don’t even mind so much- I’m just so glad to be on something different! We celebrated my birthday! On Saturday, …
I made poached eggs! I have to admit, before I set out to make them, I had determined that poaching eggs was, basically, impossible, and I based this “fact” on the movie “Julie & Julia” (which I really love- I bet that’s a shock). Julie goes through about a dozen eggs before she has any …
Time for an intervention. It’s been a rough day- but not because anything bad happened; I just was in a negative frame of mind. It was even a sunny day, but I didn’t enjoy it. To make matters more dramatic, at the crux of my rough-ish day is an existential crisis: I have decided that …
Ooooh, this bread is my favorite thus far!! I made an Oatmeal bread, and it is soft & fluffy on the inside & crunchy on the outside. The flavor is fabulous, a little nutty with the oats, and slightly sweet with the honey and molasses. BTW, you don’t have to make your own bread for …

I am post-call again, and it was another super busy day on call. After a nap, Chris & I and some friends went to lunch, then snowshoeing, then to a coffee shop, then to the Isle. It was a busy day!! I’ve discovered that I really, really love snowshoeing! It takes really no coordination or …
I finally have some good news- Chris got an interview this morning at a local hospital for an Internal Medicine residency, and it went really well!! It’s a 3 year residency, typical for internal medicine. And since my residency has 3 more years remaining, we will finish right at the same time. Even though he …
Wow- what a terrible week! This has been one of the most challenging weeks we’ve had in over a year- it’s been awful. Work has been awful- I’ve had to hash, re-hash, and re-hash again the incident with the attending last week, with several other attendings. It just won’t go away- and it’s been a …
We made some delicious bread on Sunday- it was adapted from Martha Stewart’s Honey Whole Wheat Bread recipe. It made the house smell wonderful, and this time my bread rose!! While it was cooling (but still nice & warm), I spread a little peanut butter (Peanut Butter & Co) on the fresh bread- incredible! The …
Woof- some Valentine’s Day! My hubby didn’t match into his program, and I had to go talk to my program director about the incident from Friday. It’s been a nerve-wracking day. I picked up chocolate covered grapes for him, and then took him to his favorite hamburger joint (since he’s wave 3, he can have …
