I went out for dinner tonight with Mark & Nick, two wholly awesome human beings. We went to my favorite restaurant and the food was just as delicious without cheese as it is with cheese. I got a yummy eggplant appetizer and a super yummy Greek vegetarian pasta. The sour cherry martini before dinner & the glass of cabernet with dinner have definitely gone to my head, and I'd better drink a big glass of water, take two Advil, and climb into bed.
If it were any other week, I'd think about how I'll get to sleep in this weekend. But I'll be on call starting this Friday at 4:30 pm through next Friday at 8 am, which means I'll be seeing patients on the inpatient unit Saturday & Sunday morning, and also on Thanksgiving morning. A couple years ago I decided to moonlight on Thanksgiving and ate a whole pumpkin pie in the call room.
I'm not sure how that sounds to the uninitiated, but it's actually a very fond memory. I'm glad I got the chance to do so much moonlighting and for everything I learned on my non-moonlighting call nights (as draining as they often were), because I do feel like they prepared me to take call as an attending. I hope. Fingers crossed that no one wants to be in the hospital the weekend before Thanksgiving (or on Thanksgiving), but I kind of suspect that the lure of a warm bed and a turkey dinner might be too much to pass up. We shall see!
