a long fall...

Sunbathing on my porch on a blue sky day! what a wonderful thing!!!! Work this week was ok until Fri when I worked with Dewayne again. What a pleasure to work with someone I like so much. Really made my day. Then worked Sat morning and consistent with my premonition Fri night of none of my staff showing up that is what happened so at 8am I had patients but no staff... that is a problem since manning the doors/phones and taking patients back and seeing them at the same time is quite impossible. Finally got people to come help me AFTER I saw my first patient and from there it went fine. Then hiked my dog a little and got ready for a night of Halloween parties. Went to a friend's new house warming party and that was awesome, then went to see Brad and his band Spore Favor play in Carbondale and really they were quite great at a very nice venue. From there didn't go to 3 other parties I was supposed to and just went home. Tomorrow is Halloween and I have a costume ready for work and call. Mom and Dad left for China today and otherwise life is good. Cheers...

Sekar Jamming with the boys...

So it was a good week... work was decent, had some time to be outside in the BEAUTIFUL fall weather and then went to see a band Fri night called March 4th. They are a funky marching band I saw in Strawberry last spring and got to see them again here. Had a great time dancing, hanging with members of their band family and got a great lamp! (you have to visit to see it)... Then worked a flu clinic sat til noon (ugg I was tired) and then came home and cleaned up for a party at our house last night. GREAT group of folks and tons of kids, awesome food, wonderful people and music. It was really nice. Sekar who is 7 and never played without sheet music who has been studying music about 2 years DID PHENOMINALLY playing with the band. She stunned everyone with her natural talent, great ear and amazing rhythem. She had a blast! Today we are going to a local Burning Man party and then back home to clean up, catch up and get ready for the week. hope you are all happy and healthy... much love, Kim

recovery...

Had a fabulous weekend of sleep, cleaning, organizing, paying bills, seeing friends, being outside etc etc etc... It feels good to be human again. Back to work tomorrow. Actually very happy I didn't go on the rafting trip with Brad since he still isn't back yet and I got SO much done with him not being here. If I had gone I would be exhausted starting the week and wouldn't have been able to do any of the things that currently make me happy when I look around my clean and organized house.

was gonna talk about my 140 hour 8 day week

but for some reason i couldn't publish it... maybe the universe doesn't want me to complain. ok so i won't. life is really good except the fact that it snowed the last few days and i am not ready for winter... ok maybe i will complain a little....

a very busy week ahead of work but with sign language class, working with Shinta, meetings etc interspersed. along with call...

hope you all have a healthy and happy week... get your flu shots :)

being back home and aspen colors

Sorry this is a late entry... Had a good week at work and got to see the Aspen colors change... truly magnificent. Then this weekend spent time Fri night on call, Sat working and then walking with Clifford on a beautiful day. Went on a date with Brad to the Glenwood Springs Vaudeville Review by some of the same folks that used to do the Crystal Palace. It was dinner theater and fun. Then went to a friends house and hung out with them. We stayed in Mercy and the next day had breakfast with our friends and came home, put the final picture we have of this summer's adventures in Mercy (the Grand Canyon) and enjoyed another beautiful day. I have a VERY busy next 2 weeks while others are on vacation and I am at work with lots of make up call but this is the last of the VERY hard stints since Jenny is on board and life will be so much better.

Hope all are happy and healthy... lots of love, Kim
