Another milestone in the count down

I have finished one more thing in the two years of countdowns! Another milestone is completed, another hoop jumped. I had my Grand Rounds presentation of the year, and the LAST one of my residency. I spoke on Prions (Mad cow's disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease). Everyone thought it went well, and I am glad. Glad it is over! Man, that was a lot of work, and a lot of worry! Now the only things left are a couple of presentations and my Journal Club presentation in January. No problem!

This Friday two other good things happen: First, it is my birthday. Unlike some of my friends who have already turned the big 3-0, I am excited. I am SO sick of people saying, "you are too young to be a doctor" and "you don't look old enough to be a doctor". What do they know? Now, I can say, "well, I am thirty, is that old enough?" And for any of you who actually read this and wonder what I would like... Well, world peace of course. But I would also like an outpouring of love and well wishes, and a nice meal with my husband.

Second, speaking of Jurgen, He comes on Friday (my birthday) for a whole WEEK! I am so happy. It will really be nice to have him around for a bit, and not have to drive to silly regina. He is working at the Surgicentre, so still makeing money, but definately not the same amount as he would at home. Let me tell you, that is a sacrifice for my husband. He has the "Regina attitude" - Work hard, Make money!! One of us will have to, and it won't be me, so GO JURGEN!
