A first time for everything.

This week flew by. I stayed very busy this week at work. Amidst all the patients and paperwork this week,  I had a little time to work on my office. It is starting to come together. I received my new lab coats too. Now I get to look all important. 

                 

One particular thing I love about my office is the huge picture window and the geese that live below it. Several times over the past few weeks I have found joy from gazing out the window and watching the geese pitter-patter around in the snow. Yesterday I peeked out the window in my 5 minutes between dictation and my 1:00 patient and this is what I saw:  

For those nonobservant readers, to the left of the geese someone made a footprint heart in the snow. It's incredible that such as small thing brightened my entire week.  

Speaking of snow, even though it is freezing and I hate the cold, I am still obsessed with taking pictures of it. 

    

I am not sure if it was the monotonous week of going to work and coming home or the fact that it was actually above freezing, but I felt that I needed to get out of the house. I decided to go a movie. I have never been to the movies alone, but there is a first time for everything. My apprehensive feeling only increased when the guy at the movie counter apparently needed to clarify by questioning "Only one?" when I purchased my ticket. Looking for moral support I sent a text to a couple good friends. My favorite response was"It's not depressing. It's empowering." Thank you for the support. It made me feel much better, as did the other replies. I am very fortunate to have wonderful friends who care about me so much.   

I have no big plans for the weekend. The weather channel said there is a possibility of the temp getting into the upper 40s. If that is the case I might be out by the pool soaking in the sun ;)
