Unappreciated Weekends

I've realized how much I've taken weekends for granted. . .until now. Surgery rotation has taught me to appreciate them. I was supposed to have rounding duty Saturday, but the resident I was supposed to round with told us that we didn't need to come in. I took this newly found freedom & made a spur of the moment trip North to see "Amarillo." On the two hour drive, I called a few people that I haven't talked to in awhile (including "El Paso"). Ellen, Lina & I ate dinner at Cracker Barrel & rented some movies (which I promptly feel asleep in). Saturday we were pretty lazy & just goofed off most of the day. I drove back in late last night & went to church by myself this morning. I made a new friend in Sunday School, then ran into a family from my church back home & got to go eat lunch with them. I picked up Jez from Ryan's house, (he was good enough to babysit her since I felt bad about leaving her) and am now trying to study.

My new roommate, Rachel, is ofically coming on Wednesday & our good friend Kaci will be coming in on Friday night to spend the weekend with us. I hope I don't have to work this next weekend, but I'm afraid that I'm pressing my luck since I've been off two in a role. Three weeks of surgery down, only five more to go. . .oh joy!
