pink walls

very cool lecture this morning. all about contraception. pills, patch, ring, barrier, iud, 'emergency' contraception, sperimicide, permanent sterilization... and last but not least, nfp. it was a pretty lighthearted discussion. one resident talked about how her nuva ring would squeak while she was doing yoga. another resident talked about how she regrets letting her husband get a vasectomy, so she's going to get him drunk and do the reversal herself some day. we went down the list and talked about the pros/cons of each, and from our pool of residents, each method had been tried at least once if not currently in use. except nfp. after every slide someone would chime in, 'and that's what i use!' then after the nfp slide i got to chime in, 'and that's what i use!' i was expecting an uncomfortable silence, and prepared for a nice cricket at nighttime joke. but it turned into a good, honest, open discussion for about 3 minutes. praise God, He set me up!

friday i was in love. i was about to leave for a whole two-day weekend completely pager-free. so giddy. the last words out of my mouth were to a patient, 'take it easy... get rest, and don't puff the magic dragon.' my friend was like, did you actually just say that?!

i miss luci and 'lij again. wonderful, big-eyed, talkative, spirited, sometimes stinky, cuddly products of natural, synthetic hormone-free, Spirit-breathed conception.
