Happy Birthday to Me
Dr. Cason on Sep 26th 2008
I’m writing this early. I’ll be celebrating tomorrow. Enjoying the family. I still feel like I’m 12 years old. Insecure and bumbling about. But I’m not. 12 that this is. And then the right mood hits, the vitamins or maybe the extra sleep kicks in and I’m happy and confident. I used to wish over [...]
A Flat Tire and Drinking Tea with Neil Young’s Out on the Weekend
Dr. Cason on Sep 25th 2008
The rain poured out of the sky heavily, drenching and obscuring everything in it’s path. With the littlest two in the car we cruised down a few houses down to pick up Little Miss Blue Eyes at her bus stop. Bumpity Bump Bump. Bumpity Bump Bump. Uh Oh. That didn’t sound right. “Stay right here, [...]
A Midnight Visit
Dr. Cason on Sep 23rd 2008
Unable to sleep I crept into Smiling Boy’s room last night and stood there in the dark contemplating folding all 5 feet 8 inches of me into his toddler bed. Which BTW says very explicitly “Do not Exceed 50 lbs”. I was a little worried since I haven’t been 50 pounds in over 30 years [...]
Even Doctors Get Sick
Dr. Cason on Sep 22nd 2008
Not much will keep me out of the clinic. I even drag my sick children in and have them sleep aside my computer. They get to drift into dreamland while I float in and out of the patient’s room. I can check on them all the while I get my work done. And when I’m [...]
Does He Look Pale to You?
Dr. Cason on Sep 21st 2008
We went back to the doctor’s office and I voiced my concern. “Does he look pale to you?” This has become an obsession with me- Daily I ask my husband, my girl friends, my neighbors and now the pediatrician. “No really … look closer. He seems pale right? His color is off.” Most of them [...]
Bali Rice Terrace
Dr. Cason on Sep 20th 2008
Here’s some classic images of Bali. I couldn’t pass these up. The first is an up close view of one the altars just next to the look out area.
An Officer and A Gentleman
Dr. Cason on Sep 19th 2008
He took out the dress whites tonight, dusted them off and prepared for his Dining-In. I watched him go through all the motions, laughing and talking and looking so official all the while. I smiled as he went to leave. It was all I could do not to run after him and jump in his [...]
Sitting Tall
Dr. Cason on Sep 18th 2008
Wow… Amazing huh? Sitting straight up and proud. Even when no one is watching. Uh well- except me.
First Grade Open House and Santa Claus
Dr. Cason on Sep 17th 2008
Just home from open house. Met up with the infamous Mrs. X. Loved her. I don’t know what I was worried about. She was warm and friendly and very informative. And of course she had such nice things to say about my little girl. I mean how can you not like a person who showers [...]
Our Birthday Cake Alternative
Dr. Cason on Sep 15th 2008
12 years ago today I met my husband. It was his birthday and the entire 1st year medical class was invited to his birthday party. I had nothing better to do and decided to go. Now 12 years later it’s decidedly different birthday celebration. Instead of beer and pizza it was meatloaf and mashed potatoes. [...]
