Born This Way

Ugh, it's freezing in my house! The weird thing is that it's gotten significantly warmer (read: 50-60's during the day, 30-40's at night). It's like the warmer it gets outside the colder my house feels, despite having the heater set at or above what is usually is. It's all relative I guess.

Sunday...let's see, what sort of "real person" things did I do on Sunday? Sunday was not a particularly fun day because just as I arrived up on the mountain and pulled my ski boots on, I got a call saying I was getting "pulled" into the hospital. Being "pulled" means that you get called in to a busier rotation such as wards or ICU from your previously scheduled easy clinic day or weekend off. Usually it's for someone who is sick or has a family emergency, etc. It is never fun. This one was for a different kind of situation and fortunately it was only for a few hours. It still made me feel sour for a little while.

I guess the real person thing I did Sunday was I cleaned my house and inched perilously close to getting caught up on laundry for the first time in like six weeks. I don't know if cleaning my house counts or not though because it's really not what you want to be doing with your precious days off. Every time I clean my house I get so bent out of shape and swear up and down that I'm going to hire someone to do it. But I think everyone who knows me knows that it's highly unlikely I would ever be content to let someone else clean my house. It just has to be done the right way and of course there is only one right way.

But then, what's more important - house being cleaned the right way or not having to clean the house on my day off and get all in a bad mood?

Yesterday (Monday), I had a nice homemade dinner (given, it was because Holland cooked it) and a glass of wine.

Today I talked to my grandmother on the phone.

Now I'm going to read my book in the bathtub and go to sleep.
