The ill Humored

Pasta with alfredo sauce is a staple of Italian cuisine that has been enhanced in a variety of ways over time. Many have added chicken and additional spices, and more recently we have started looking to seafood as a nice complement to the dish. By far the best seafood alfredo one can eat is a batch made with fresh seafood. My personal preference is a combination of fresh shrimp, fresh sea scallops, and canned octopus. My girlfriend and I make this dish about once a month, and we start by buying our favorite pre-made four cheese alfredo sauce from a manufacturer called Classico. We then make a trip to Whole Foods Market and purchase a half pound each of fresh shrimp and fresh sea scallops. Lastly, we head down the canned foods aisle and grab two tins of canned octopus. At home, we de-vein the shrimp after a thorough rinsing and then we combine all of the elements in a large pan and lightly heat for a fair amount of time. We then add some garlic salt and pepper and the meal is ready!

Urine, semen, blood, UTI’s and all that good stuff! I have already seen a cystoscopy, vasectomy, and cyst excision. It’s crazy how they have patients over booked and tells them all they have some sort of cancer. I felt so bad I couldn’t even work down that triage hall today. So, I kept busy in the first hall calling patients in to take their vitals, testing their urine, and placing them in the exam rooms for the doctor to see them. I enjoy interning because I can learn and become more knowledgeable about the medical field, but in a way a lot of people there are so cold hearted to the fact that those poor patients are still ill and need comfort. They make it seem like it’s nothing but in reality it’s life changing for these people, and I am proud to say I come to work everyday in hopes to make my patients happy and let them know someone cares enough about them.

For fun, riding my motorcycle is definitely what I look forward to doing. A few of my friends have bikes so we’ll spend a few hours enjoying the scenery out of town or just cruising around downtown. I also find it fun to go to the movies, especially when the weather is cold or rainy. I also love taking my two dogs to the local dog park and watching them play with the other dogs. We don’t have a fenced in yard so it’s nice to watch them run around, uninhibited and safe. Plus, it gives me time to sit back in a camping chair and catch up on a book I’d been meaning to read or get some homework done (not that the latter is fun for me.)

One thing I have learned as a first time mother is that it is important to find balance in life. If I give in to every wish my child has she may be happy but chances are I will be giving up a lot and will be unhappy. If I focus on either my husband or child too much the other one will become hurt or upset. Life is about having balance. In every period of our lives we must balance different aspects of ourselves. It may be balancing work and family or education and social life. The sooner we can recognize that our lives are out of balance the sooner we can find the right balance.
