went to washington DC this weekend for my cousin's wedding. she was a beautiful, laid back bride and the fella she picked to marry is fantastic. it was a lot like this (but you know, the groom wasn't all pissy and the bride didn't seem to be waiting for another dude to show up). fun was had by all of my huge, loud mafia family as we frightened hotel clerks and the grooms' family alike. all in good fun. also got to see another cousin who just became the youngest most master of all master chefs and is taking the DC restaurant scene by storm. and got to visit with a friend who we don't see nearly often enough.
DC is already all spring-like and flowers are blooming and everything is green. sadly, where i'm living/writing this blog it's still pretty wintry (where that is? that's one secret i'll never tell. xoxo)... so it was nice to have a splash of color this weekend.
i'm exhausted, though. only very few hrs of sleep the last few nights and flew in at 11pm last night and then had to wake up this morning for a 6am shift. and flying is not as much fun as it used to be. you still get the joys of small, cramped spaces and breathing strangers' air, the threat of blood clots in your legs from lack of movement, and sitting by the crazy chatty guy.....but now you don't get the tiny packets of peanuts/pretzels AND you get your expensive cosmetics stolen in security if they're over 2 teaspoons in volume. but i'm not bitter. and i totally feel protected and secure. (grrrrr).
anyway...
the ER is going well. recently i've seen some interesting skin infections and a few misscarriages and ectopic pregnancies...which is always really sad. also a dog bite and a motor vehicle accident that should have been deadly but (gracias a dios) left the victim unscathed. and, of course, plenty of chest pain, psychosis, drug detox, pneumonias and all kinds of tasty abscesses and diarrhea cases. it's interesting to see such a variety of ailments and injuries.
