Grateful and Some Odds and Ends
Dr. Cason on Oct 12th 2008
Little Miss Blue Eyes is losing a tooth. I’m savoring the last few days of that sweet wiggly guy trying to come out. Yesterday’s runner’s high lasted all day. Though I did feel really sniffly and sneezy a few hours later. Now I’m officially sick- toxin release? Is that even possible? I’m grateful I got [...]
A Twelve Minute Mile
Dr. Cason on Oct 11th 2008
It’s 8:30 am here in Guam and Saturday morning. Clinic will begin soon. I’ve been up for hours. I snuck out early this morning at O dark thirty and made my way down for a 5 K run. It’s my second one I’ve ever run but I’m still working at being in shape. At 5’8″ 130 [...]
Night Lights
Dr. Cason on Oct 10th 2008
There was a time long ago when I came alive at night. Then I became a doctor. Then I had kids. And now night time is when I sleep. Except now I have joined the full time working moms of this world- for the next few weeks. It’s bronchiolitis season and the clinic is bustling. [...]
Bali Cooking School and a Tightness in My Tummy AKA Just Why Am I Doing This?
Dr. Cason on Oct 9th 2008
Flickr is flickering and fluttering like a struggling flame to upload my photos and I feel a tightness in my stomach. I have the photos all ready and I’ve promised to talk more of the Bali cooking school. But I can’t because I am depending on a program that isn’t functioning right. Or at least [...]
Bali Cooking School
Dr. Cason on Oct 7th 2008
Okay everyone it’s time to get back to some pretty pictures. While in Bali we had the distinct pleasure of taking a cooking class. I took lots of pictures and promised to get them cleaned up and posted so a certain Australian Visitor could enjoy them! Life has been busy and I haven’t gotten to [...]
Blueberry or Cherry
Dr. Cason on Oct 6th 2008
Slowly life is getting a little better. Smiling boy is pinking up. The house is getting cleaned and the papers filed. I’ve created a schedule for myself and actually put in …*gasp*… running. Last night I was talking to smiling boy about getting some soy yogurt, “Do you want Cherry or Blueberry?” “Blueberry!” “Blueberry or [...]
Children Learn What They Live
Dr. Cason on Oct 5th 2008
Have you seen this yet? I’m constantly working on keeping a calm voice, a firm stance yet loving tone. It’s tough especially when multitasking and managing three kids that demand your attention. But it’s worth it to try. If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn. If children live with hostility, they learn to [...]
Like Little Puppy Dogs
Dr. Cason on Oct 4th 2008
These two are like little puppy dogs in a little basket. Except it’s not a basket it’s my bed. And there’s no room for me.
Sweetness
Dr. Cason on Oct 3rd 2008
Can I tell you how delighted I am that my friend took these photos. As the photographer I’m not often in the pictures. I really don’t mind but it is great to see us together. Little Miss Sunshine just turned 4 this past May. She’s my middle girl the one who sneaks in at 3:00 [...]
A Day in the Life of Clinic
Dr. Cason on Oct 2nd 2008
Here’s a glimpse of today- as best as I can remember. 9:30- Patients trickling in but still being triaged. I’m finishing notes from yesterday. 19 charts to go. An extra 11 charts sit next to me to review. So is a coffee cup with- no not coffee- water. Hmmm…Keeping the stories straight can be challenging. [...]
