Garbage/recycling collection day is tomorrow and that has been placed outside (hoping for no racoons!) Plants in the rain - front porch. We are in our new house - for... Continue Reading →

"How do you do it??" - a question I have been asked numerous times since starting residency. It is all very amazing - and exhausting. My intention is not to make this a rant-post filled with complaints about my life? I don't know, we'll see how this unfolds. Typical Work Day Hubby, baby and I... Continue Reading →

Actually we are making the move in the next 5 days! Things have been hectic and busy... Continue Reading →
Good morning everyone! CaRMS applications are finished. Exams are done! What do I do now? Refreshing my email a 1000x times waiting for interview emails is a waste of time.
