10 Things Thursday

today be awesome

Things I’ve learned this week…

1) Sleeping in every morning is so dang awesome. Sleeping in because you don’t have to work for two weeks is divine.

2) Raking leaves is NOT so awesome. Seriously. It sucks.

3) Raking an entire yard to make it look nicer only to realize grass doesn’t grow in said yard makes the multiple hours spent raking seem really really dumb. Now I have a leave-less yard full of mud. And 10 bags of leaves I don’t know what to do with.

4) Anybody know of a leaf-bag picker upper in KC? I could use one right now.

5) Bassett hounds like to play the clown car trick too! This video made me smile real big.

6) Talking dogs make the world a happy place. This video can make even the grumpiest person smile.

7) I have the most ill-behaved/ well mannered dog alive. He brought me my shoe to play with yesterday. Laid it at my feet and waited for me to play fetch with it. Kinda cute. Kinda not.

8) The anxiety this whole match thing provokes can take down countries. I mean surrrrriously. I found out Monday that I matched into a residency and they make me wait till Friday to find out where?! Cruel!

9) I discovered Trader Joe’s has the best dang flowers around. I snagged some gorgeous pink and white ranunculus last weekend and they are STILL alive.

*Side note- I killed a succulent within a week and those things are supposed to be fool-proof. They are apparently not Natalie-proof.

10) I’ve got some wicked anxiety/excitement/nervousness over tomorrow’s news! The next 4 years of our lives depends on one email tomorrow at noon! Good lord why do they do this to us?!

Hey guys, let’s be awesome today, shall we?

Happy Thursday!

*P.S.- HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!! We brought back our Spring header to mark the occasion!!

It’s here!! Match Week is here!!

This morning at 11am I found out I matched into a residency program. That’s right… I got a job this morning!! I’ve made $19 in the past 3 years so this is a nice change of pace ha!

match email

On Friday I’ll find out where I’ve matched for residency. It’s going to be a loooong 4 days that’s for sure!

I got to celebrate the good news today with my dad at the InterContinental on the plaza (where our reception will take place!). It was delicious and the perfect celebratory lunch.

Now it’s time to crack open the champagne, get my green on for St. Patty’s day, and celebrate the next 4 years to come! I can’t wait!

Hagrid quote

Hi folks! What a week, huh? Oy vey!

My 24 hour shifts in the ER are done for the month! I can finally kick back and relax! These long shifts have definitely messed with my sleep schedule so I’ve been a little wonky the past two weeks. Sorry for the lack of posts! My lack-of-sleep brain doesn’t work too well.

We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled posts on Monday! Which reminds me… in 3 days I’ll find out IF I matched for residency and in 7 days I’ll find out where. #holyanxiety. I just need to take Hagrid’s wise words to heart. Whatever happens, happens. Wherever I end up, that’s where I’m supposed to be. And I’ll have my friends and family by my side. That makes it all okay.

I hope you all have had a swell week! I have some seriously beautiful ranunculus blooming in my kitchen right now and the lady bugs are in excess… Spring is here!!

I’m just going to ignore the fact it’s supposed to snow on Sunday. Winter, go away. Right now.

Happy Friday!
