had a lovely night at greg and house last night. they had a few of the neighbors over for dinner. bummer i had to cut out early to go to work (which meant no wine either), but it was nice to have a tasty dinner and good conversation during two of the four hours i was awake and not at work.
i learned a few important lessons over the last twelve hours that i would like to share:
1. do not go to the grocery store after an overnight shift - if you work nights, resist the temptation to stop by the grocery store bleary-eyed on the way home. at least for me, this doesn't work. i tried this morning to stop at weaver street to buy some items for our labor day picnic (which will be at 5 pm tonight), and it didn't go so hot. my mind was not working on properly at all; every time i tried to buy something, i couldn't decide (or remember) what i wanted. i spent a long time wandering up and down the aisles and not accomplishing very much. uh, and being out at weird hours puts me (and maybe you) at risk of seeing patients that i've just discharged from the ER.
2. "don't go hopping down that bunny trail, it leads nowhere good." this is courtesy of lisa, the awesome 2nd year that i worked with last night. i actually have no idea what this means, in general. in context this morning, it's meaning had something to do with a tangential presentation by a medicine intern signing out a patient. either way, i'm going to have to use this line again sometime.
ok, gotta get some sleep before enjoying labor day evening lawn games.
