Still adjusting

I made dilly beans!! A friend shared her tasty dill green bean pickle recipe so I tried it. So far so good, although I guess I won't know how tasty they are for a few weeks. I'm pretty sure we won't get botulism. What are the symptoms again?

So yesterday, B and I set off to see if my work commute is bike commutable. The answer is no. It is about 8.5 miles one way, which took about an hour. It starts downhill, then flat downtown (will all the freaky traffic and cars), over to the esplanade, then back uphill to work... then reverse. No thanks. Too long, too many cars, and I'm too much a weenie. At least I know I could do it if some apocalyptic event occurred and cars or buses ceased to exist...

Work is still going. Still in the mostly overwhelming phase. I remember a saying in PA school, "it's like trying to take a drink from a fire hydrant". Everyone is still helpful, patient, and friendly. Mostly, I am frustrated with myself as I feel I am an anchor when we have a busy clinic as I am still learning the ways and figuring it all out. I'm also frustrated with myself that after 2 weeks, I don't know all there is to know about peds ortho. I'm scared to make mistakes. Ridiculous I know. But I still like the challenge. Not to mention very interesting situations, syndromes, injuries, etc. I actually saw someone with cat's eyes. No joke.

Finally put gas in my car on Tuesday after 2 1/2 weeks!! I used to fill up twice a week.
