I Don't Think You're Ready for This Jelly

It was a good week of sports and my body doesn't feel terrible. Cierra balled up, Palmer got taken to school, and our city league is getting there. However, I came to a realization this weekend when I was camping. When sleeping on an air mattress in a car is more comfortable than your own bed, there is a problem. So I bought myself an air mattress. We'll see how that goes. 

Brandi and I also made so many friends with our Starburst-roasting technique. We just sat by the fire the whole night, whittled some real good pokers, and just asked everyone who came near us if they wanted to try something incredible and dangerous. 13/15 people say it's life-changing.

NAU DPT 2020 at GOBig (last week). 

Normally I really enjoy my cadaver lab, but this week was super frustrating. Still drained from our tests last week and preparing for more - on the longest day of the week - our body had some persistant adhesions. Never fear, Lab 1A is still CLUTCH.

You know who else is clutch? The Sox. Almost killed me on Friday with the 18-inning game, but we made it through. During our practical exam this week, I told my patient that any Dodgers fans needed an extra cognitive/psychological exam and he said Guess who just failed their practical? It's good to talk smack. It's even better when your team backs you up.

The only reason I participated is because Brandi suggested
we do some Red Sox carving.

A surprise for our teacher on Monday. 

Katelyn and I shadowed together at the Peaks on Wednesday - an inpatient nursing facility. It was alright, we got to see some evaluations and some dank wounds get suctioned. I met a delightful man who had trouble hearing and another woman who was hilarious.

I noticed that the PT with whom I was working missed several opportunities to joke around and connect with several of the patients. Which kind of threw me off. She was very professional the whole time and I wondered if that was her personality or a coping mechanism because she doesn't work with consistent patients or what. But it made me think a little, since that's such a natural reaction of mine.

Bimonthly movie night the First. 

Including some sketch pumpkin carvings. 

Finally we actually had a movie night that we'd been trying to plan for a while. We made these humans hang out with us all night and they weren't even mad. We carved pumpkins and had floats and we watched She's the Man - which is a classic, for those missing out. 'Twas a good time. Until my power steering went out. Again.

Sunday morning I met up with Lindsey's BFF from Colorado and we had a delightful brunch of French toast and OJ. Then I hung out with our other PT friend Hannah and listened to Brandi's talk in Sacrament together. The Lord asked for 2 hours a week, and I'm doubling it today. #DoDamage.
