Robyn....this one's for you: my first blog posting.

Today was my day off....got a number of things done around the house, reapplied for my training license, got a fabulous myofascial massage by my friend Jack (who really knows his stuff), rode my bike and ate dinner with my friend Eric (I'm now his "fast friend" for biking in Pittsburgh now that Gary moved to Gainesville), and then showed my spare room to a potential housemate (a friend and fellow intern). Tomorrow I'll be in the hospital overnight on call, but I'm only starting with three patients and we have an acting intern....so, hopefully the worst I will have is seven patients when it is all said and done.

I am trying to turn over a new leaf and get to bed earlier....but I have been chatting online with my new friend, Maurice, in the evenings lately and that seems to take a bit of time. Maybe I type slower than I think I do!

I've been very successful with my attempts to bicycle commute to and from work so far this month. It is very satisfying to do this, and I ensure that I get at least 30-40 minutes of exercise per day. The other night, while I was biking home, the air had a very pleasurable sort of damp coolness against my skin. I am starting to really enjoy biking after dark...there is a certain anonymity to it that appeals to me. FYI: I do use lights and always wear my helmet!
