Describe a typical day in your life right now:
Well... there's two versions. The work version, and the 'It's my day off and I'm a total lazy bum' version.
On the days I work, I usually wake up to Matt's alarm (a few times, since he really loves his snooze button ;) ) around 6:30, I lounge in bed for another thirty minutes and by then Matt usually offers to bring me some breakfast so I don't get sick. (Isn't he the greatest??) So I eat my breakfast while I look at (this is the part where I wish I could say, my scriptures, or the ensign or something more worth while) facebook or instagram or pinterest. I know, right? I need to change some habits. After that I jump in the shower, and put on one of two sets of scrubs that I still actually fit in and pull my hair back- mostly because I'm lazy but also because my hair gets SUPER static-y at work. I'll start my car at 8:10ish so it's warm and defrosted by the time I leave, come back and say a prayer with Matt, pack some snacks and head off to work.
It depends on how crazy our patient schedule is, but I typically have a fair amount of down time at work. I'll refill all the paperwork folders, and tidy things up or work on projects between patients most days. Sometimes I just don't have anything to do, and in those cases I usually look for some recipes on pinterest, or blog/read blogs. I go to my mom's house for lunch, because it's closer, and help them out with some leftovers ;) before taking a quick nap. (Thank goodness for 1 hour lunch breaks!) Four more hours of greeting patients, sticking electrodes on people, and dealing with insurance paperwork, and I'm on my way home! If I'm feeling like an especially good human being I'll make a legit dinner. Otherwise I'm warming up leftovers or plopping some grilled cheese onto a skillet.
If Matt has time I'll visit with him, but a lot of evenings I'm either reading or wasting time on my phone while sitting in my new rocking chair and dying over tiny diapers and clothes laid out. :p
Non work days are a lot like my mornings on work days. Except extend the sitting in bed wasting my time for another hour. :p (I feel so unproductive telling you this!) I sometimes make Matt some eggs for breakfast when he's running late, or something like that, and then wander around and do a little bit of tidying in my pajamas after he's gone for classes. Then I take obnoxiously long hot showers- just because I can- and let my hair air dry while I work on some other project or read. Lately a lot of my days off have consisted of appointments so in those cases I actually hustle my buns to get ready and get out of the house on time. I did sign up for an institute class, but here's the part where I confess and justify. (Confession: I've sluffed for the past two weeks. :/ I know. Awful right? Here's the justification. The first two times were because I had an appointment that ran a little late and then I was sick. And then I realized I was ok with having excuses because I feel so out of place. I'm in a HUGE class of people and not a single one of them is married. (haha... a single one of them... married. Ok dry humor, moving on.) And since no one is married, definitely no one is pregnant in there. So I feel like I stick out like a sore thumb. I also feel like it's a very flirty social environment, and they're all students and I'm not in either of those categories so I just feel weird and alone in a big room. Don't get me wrong- I love reading the manual, and I think it's so fun to be in the classroom with my Uncle Lloyd- he does such a great job. I just also feel way out of place. Matt said I should at least try going to one of the married institute classes in the evening. But then I'm the only spouse-less married person in the class because Matt's schedule doesn't work to take one with me. Guess I should just put my big girl panties on and do it anyway huh. Ok. Justification rant over.)
Tuesdays are usually laundry days, and when it's time to go shopping again I try to go earlier in the day on either Tuesday or Thursday so I don't end up having to fight the Saturday crowds.
If I'm procrastinating either of those, I like to visit either my mom or Grandma Marilyn. :) And if my dad has his prep sometimes I get to see him too. I've been telling myself I should practice the piano again while I still have access to one. :) When we move for grad school and I can't go over to my moms and play when I feel like it, I'm going to miss music!
My evenings on days off are usually the same as when I work. It just depends on what Matt's doing.
So, there you have it! My semi boring life! :p Ok so it's not a boring life, I just feel like I sound so boring. I should start taking photography adventures or something like that. Or go check out all the random stores/shops in Cedar just for fun.
(In unrelated news... Dr. Williams interviewed the first applicant this morning (and I love her! I really think she's going to be the one he picks.) and we've got the other two interviews this afternoon. As well as this huge schedule of new patients and all sorts of chaotic fun. :p I'm telling you, ever single time I'm having a sick day and I think, "Oh, at least it's a slow day at the office so I won't totally die", Dr. Williams gets calls on the day off before and schedules the entire city in one afternoon. Haha. Good grief. Maybe it's a good thing, though, because it does keep me preoccupied so I don't have time to really think about how miserable I feel. So hooray for that at least. :) )
Happy Friday everyone! Drive safe in all this snow! (Also, I'm pretty sure it only snows on the days I work so I can't even just curl up with a book and a warm quilt and enjoy the perfect reading weather. :p)

Busy, busy girl. Always, always on the move. I do miss very much listening to you play the piano so remember my piano is always free for you to use. Drop in any time and I would love to hear you play. You have a special touch.
