This is getting addictive!!

Yikes!! This blogging nonsense is starting to get addictive! Thanks again to all those who read and comment on my blog. You guys are the best!

Well, today I threw out my blood/dirt/bodily fluids/etc... stained shoes that have seen me thru my first yr of medical school till now. If not for the blood of many patients (surgical elective in Angola) that have fallen and soaked into them, i probably wouldn't have thrown it away. But watching it sit on top of my gym locker shelf for the past week and a half, today, after playing squash (i won!!...again) i finally decided to part with it.

It wasn't an easy decision. I had bonded with that pair of New Balance Cross-Trainers. But the thought of washing people's bodily fluids out was getting more and more outrageous the more I thought about it. I think i just needed time to bring closure to those shoes. I thew them into the big garbage can in the women's locker room...i hope nobody stops to pick them up. They will have had no idea how gut-wrenching the stories behind the stains are.

I think it was in some sort of weird way a symbolic gesture of how i've felt for the past couple of days. I'm grieving and I'm moving on.

Thank goodness for Tyrone (my Tiger). I hug him tightly as I fall asleep. I hope Buski (my Bear) doesn't get jealous. It's past 1am, what am i doing. I need to sleep.

goodnight, y'all.....zzzzzzzzzzzzz.........
love!
