Retroactive Post

As promised, I got my camera mailed back to me so here's another post about my fun and busy visit to the Bay Area in February. Fun because I got to spend time with an old friend from med school/internship, and busy because I had two interviews.

We went on a day-trip to Santa Cruz through a local community college for a "wine tour." We visited three wineries, had lots of wine, and port salut. Oh my. Port salut is my new favorite cheese. I'm currently on a hunt for it in Chicago.

Today, I got home from working in the peds ER at 2am, went straight to bed, and woke up just in time for our PICU team off-service brunch at The Bongo Room. It was so nice to see the team outside the hospital, outside of that stressful, hair-raising experience, at a nice sunny place in the South Loop for one of the best brunches in Chicago. I had the BLT benedict, and luckily for us the kitchen made a mistake and our waitress brought us chocolate-carrot pancakes that tasted just like carrot cake. MMM. We devoured that, in addition to what we ordered in minutes.

I rented Atonement for tonight! and tomorrow, I'm moonlighting in the NICU! Can't wait for the extra cash... that I already spent!
