And the days roll on...

The busy spell has not come to an end yet. I am in serious need of a break. And it's coming up. I just need to hang on in there for another two sleepless nights. I keep wondering, if I ever knew how bad sleep deprivation feels, would I have ever done medicine? Then again, I do enjoy doing my job, a lot. So it's a hard one there.

In between work and trying to steal sleep, loads of things happened, including my 29th birthday which I did not really celebrate in style, but had a great evening with M, baby sitting Picci and Christina, one of our friends' dog and three year old adorable daughter. She is possibly the best behaved three year old girl I know! Will write more about my birthday in some other post sometime :)

Also, yesterday, finally managed to visit the Gingells', to get to know baby Nick, now 10 days old. He is a bundle of love, so cute and such a good baby! Elaine is looking great, really! She will definitely need to tell me her secret when my turn comes, one day in the (not near) future.

Well, here I am now sitting in my living room, papers scattered over the floor, trying to write a presentation for the next medical school conference. Grey, cold weather outside, and me huddled up inside working away. Not too bad really.

Also got treated to one of my favourite dishes yesterday - spaghetti con cozze, prepared with love by M. Was yummy! All this reminds me that I am so lucky, and should stop moaning and pitying myself. After all I am surrounded by so many beautiful things!

And on that note, I'll be going back to my presentation and off to the gym at some point...
Until next time....
