Vacation over.

So here I am, last day of vacation is finally here. Tomorrow I start back in my clinicals with Internal Medicine. After getting back from Mexico, I didn't really do a whole lot until my 2nd weekend off. Jay finally got the call for his surgery on his knee, so that was performed on Friday. I was in College Station at the time on a day with Kristi that we had been planning for awhile, but I went home to help take care of him that night and next day. His surgery went very well, all except the post-op mess that happened because someone didn't get the discharge orders. But other than that it went well.

I did manage to have fun in CS though, we saw Bewitched, which is actually a pretty fun date movie. Even more so if you're slightly familiar with the old TV sitcom. We did some other random stuff as well, but it was a good day, especially since I hadn't seen her in about a month.

On Sunday, I left on my weeklong trip up to Amarillo to see my good friends, Wes, Sam, and Kelly from high school again. In order to make the trip more manageable, I stopped and stayed over in Waco with Kristi's family on my way up. Amarillo was fun, and I did a lot of just what I was hoping to do. Which was a lot of nothing. We went out a couple of times, managed to get a round of golf in at the local Par 3 course, as well as a game of bowling. We also played a lot of Halo since Wes and Kelly are into that now. I also managed to successfully infect them with the insane hilarity that is the Numanuma kid. It was really good just to see everyone again as well as get out of Houston in general.

On the way back, I spent the weekend in Waco again. Sam and Vicki had the kids up from Houston again and it's always fun to play with them. I got to see the new progress on the house and also have the kids play with fireworks out at the lake. The next day, we drove to Conroe to Kristi's dad's cousin's house. Dr. Gregg who is a local dermatologist has a nice country estate and was throwing a fourth of July barbeque for the Krenek family as a gettogether. The house was beautiful and everything was really nice. I got to meet more of her family and hear some more crazy Krenek stories. Food was good as well. All and all it was an interesting experience. I was really tired at this point and was just kind of ready to get back home and situated again. I had been away for a week and was really ready just to get settled down again. Which is good in it's own right as well.

So here I am, most of the stuff I needed to work on is done and I'm ready for tomorrow I guess. Orientation is at 8 which is where I'll find out which hospital I'll be in along with my teams. It will be interesting working with some brand new interns, so I'll have to keep writing with my experiences there for sure. So vacation is finally over... back to clinics!
