oh gosh.
still sick.
it probably didn't help that i went out all night 2 saturdays in a row. i swear i'm getting too old for this shit.
how sad is that?
i'm totally not in the christmas spirit this year. i have NO ideas for gifts for anyone. maybe when i get my tree put up it will cheer me up. lately all i want to do is sit and read my book. i am completely unmotivated to do anything else. winter does that to me. sigh.
this book is amazing - it's called Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer. it's a/b these 2 mormon fundamentalist brothers who killed their brother's wife and 15 month old daughter and said god told them to do it. and the book starts w/ a lot of history of the mormon faith, john smith, the dissent between the mainstream mormon church and the fundamentalist sects who still practice polygamy and what a HORRIBLE life that is for the women in those communities. this book is taking over my life - i can't do anything but read it!
and the shit hit the fan at work yesterday. one of our surgeons quit and walked out - no notice. he's gone. that's it. buh-by. it's quite a shock - not that he left. we all kind of knew he would be leaving eventually, but the way he did it. he's a great doctor, a great person, a great friend and i think a lot of people are just hurt that he did it and are looking for someone to blame, but there isn't. the whole hospital is in turmoil and you can cut the tension w/ a knife. i hate it. i wish i could make everybody happy.
sigh.
well, i have to go buy tickets for Handel's Messiah.
joy!
