this is just so you know.

A few days ago, I decided I would try to write something before going to bed every night, whether it's a few lines of thought on the internet or on paper, or an e-mail to a someone. I don't know if this will work out well because I usually get around 6 hours of sleep and those 15 minutes in the morning seem super valuable. However, today:

• I am "officially" missing someone (see above photos, which can be explained by "There's gotta be some way that you can measure my head so that it's bigger than yours." Conclusion: no, there is not a way that this can happen). Sometimes missing someone happens all the time, but hits you hard all at once.
• Listening to Sara Bareilles' "The Blessed Unrest." I really like that album name. 
• I'm pulling out all the stops to get permission to adopt a dog we have fallen in love with. 
• I answered some very weird questions in clinic today. Residents always think that if they aren't sitting down with you to literally teach, you aren't learning very much. But that's not true, and I pick up a lot of lessons from watching the ways all different doctors treat patients, sometimes with kindness, sometimes without.
• I think that's it. I've been thinking about Abby the dog and how to teach developmentally disabled people about health. And that's it.
