Trajectory

Wow it's already been about 2 months since I started at this new hospital and in this new position. Overall, it's getting better... but every day is different. Some are good and some are really bad. Mostly, I'm exhausted and frustrated and confused at work.

This is my last week of being off before I take a week of call starting this coming Friday. Those weeks are rough. Not looking forward to it.

We try to squeeze in as much FUN as we can... last weekend, we went to the beach finally! we drove down PCH, in the late afternoon, found a parking spot by the shopping area in downtown malibu, and walked to the beach. it was wonderful. just the PERFECT temperature and we relaxed in the sand, played briefly in the water, took a walk to the pier, and had dinner at Duke's of Malibu. I've always wanted to try this touristy trap but I have to say... it was fairly disappointing as far as the food goes, but the VIEWS are amazing. gorgeous. We felt like we were on vacation!

The next day we went to the Willard Wigan exhibit in Hollywood. He's a "micro-sculptor"... and makes these microscopic sculptures that you view through a microscope like the one below... this is a picture of the special lighting and on that yellow ellipse is the sculpture, suspended at the tip of a sewing needle.

This is a scene from Alice in Wonderland. He made special tools to do his work... and he paints the sculptures using hair found on flies...

This one of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is my favorite, but came out blurry... they were all AMAZING.
