Anatomy exam. Yuck.
Went to get my lunch out of the "fridge"... frozen coleslaw... sad face.
At least I have Jewish New Years, cuddles, and Karissa to cheer me up.

Sometimes you have to work hard in Grad School.
At this very moment... cup of instant coffee might be as good as a nap.
I forgot about my presentation today... should have worn fancy shoes. I can handle. I've got good content...
Anatomy quiz on the thigh tomorrow.
Anatomy test on the lower limb Thursday. Article summary also due Thursday. And my first academic advising meeting!
When Thursday is over I want chocolate cake and beer for dinner!
PS. Additionally Aunt Flow is expected on Saturday... so at any moment I feel like I might cry.

dolly studies for anatomy exam [Weekend 5]
Thursday
Fuel and Fuddle for happy hour with Chelsea. Began my furious studying for the anatomy exam count down 1 week.
Friday
Went to Quiet Storm for dinner. This place gets the dolly approval. My fake lamb gyro was pretty tasty. And they had other things I would like to try... like their coffee. Brunch? To be visited again. Afterward went to the world famous [well Joy, Matt & Josh rave about it] Gooski's. It was fine. Nothing could match the magic it is described to have. They DO get bonus points for having Erotic What's the difference? [Kristi!] With time there will be love of Gooski's. If only it wasn't terribly out of the way...
Saturday
Studied anatomy. Went to Trader Joe's to get the fixings to cook up some pad thai. Studied anatomy. Cooked pad thai for dinner. Went to a x number of poets for change at Hemingway's. The poetry was thought provoking. I was slightly confused about the title Gulf... which I mistook for golf. Why is golf slimy and black? She wasn't talking about Tiger Woods. Really not into Hemingway's bar [scene]. Then we introduced Carol to the All American egg roll. Yummy! And called it a night.
Today [Sunday]
Studied anatomy. Josh came over, we walked to lunch at Dapne Cafe. Dapne's is a really cute little restaurant. They don't have an outrageously large menu. I don't know that it feels particularly Turkish, which it is. Had a baba ganoush sandwich. I'm really digging the baba ganoush... must be some sort of phase. Dug the olives on the sandwich... possibly as good an option as pickles would have been. And the pita bread was really tasty. The tomatoes were perfectly ripe. Really tasty. Very fresh. Walked home. Then a little more anatomy. Then some HOT [Amazing Yoga] Yoga. [Just a short walk from my house.] Really cannot be sure if it was the yoga itself or the heat, but I was a hot sweaty [sauna stoned] mess. I've commit to 5 more weeks of Sunday night yoga, prepaid. Then home. Took an amazing shower. Talked to my dear miss Emily on the phone for a bit. Updating this. Soon to bed. More studying tomorrow!

2 quizes passed today... anatomy and mint.
Monday... seems so long ago already.
Terribly dry evidence-based practice lecture. Went to Razzy Fresh for frozen yogurt for lunch. It's no Yoz. It was not only 8 calories an ounce. It was pricy. But it hit the spot. For dinner there was cooking and cuddling. And I successfully used the bus twice!
Tuesday...
Woke up fairly early to do some school work. Tuesday is just such a long day. Coming home @ 7pm had such an intense bibimbap craving. Made fried rice and a fried egg at home. Sriracha <3
Today...
We had wheelchair day in Assessment and Intervention. Pretty self explanatory... got to navigate getting into and out of the building and into and out of the bathroom as a person who uses a wheelchair. That was pretty fun. In cadaver lab, we used the lady today instead of the man. There are very obvious differences, because of her age. She was much older. She also had a lot more adipose (fat). If I am to be a cadaver one day I best stay in shape! We also had our first lab quiz! 95% got a little confused by some vocabulary. Then I walked to Mediterranean Grill in Squirrel Hill for a falafel and baba ganoush sandwich. The restaurant is in a creepy basement (which didn't seem handicapped accessible). But it is pretty fancy once inside the actual dinning area. The sandwich was maybe $2 more than I would have liked to pay (Detroit prices?). And there were NO pickles (this is the sad part). And I would have liked it grilled or crisped. The falafel and baba were fairly tasty tho! On my walk between the Mothership (main campus as Professor Jodi calls it), Mediterranean Grill, and Chatham Eastside, I identified 4 types of mint growing in folks front gardens. There was catnip, apple mint, spearmint, and lemon balm. The exciting thing is that the front lawns were pretty shady (not very sunny) so it gives me hope for my shady green patch, hopeful to be a garden next spring! Then back at Chatham Eastside we had CPR training. It was relatively fast and painless. Nothing compared to the training that MORC or Camphill put me through! Then I walked home (which I do everyday, because it only takes 30 minutes). As soon as I walked outside it started raining and as soon as I got home it stopped. Awesome, right? At home Joy was listening anxiously to Democracy Now and screaming about the Troy Davis case. Since... she has gone out to dinner with Matt and his family. What to do tonight? Study?

The Tin Front Cafe stole the show. [Weekend 4!]
Hmmm... where did I leave off in my story?
I'm planning a Jewish New Years Party for Friday the 30th. I ordered Apples to Apples [the game] to play. Hopeful.
Friday I had a date. With a Jewish [you can pick up your jaw now], nice, cute, smart, funny, food conscious, all around delightful gentleman... who claims to have a tragic flaw, but I can't figure out what it is. I like him, but don't need to jinx things. ...Afterwards [say 11:30pm], I was going to hang out with Carol, but I fell asleep on the couch. At around 1am I scooped myself up and went to bed. So much for being a party animal.
Yesterday went to The Waterfront. I drove, because the bus was taking too long. [I don't normally drive anywhere here.] 8th street is pretty cute. We [Carol, Venera, Sho, Trisha, Amy, and I] went to The Tin Front Cafe. [Pictured below.] It was lovey. [Obvious by the picture, no?] They had good coffee and I enjoyed my cheddar and apple grilled cheese. I would return again if the opportunity presented itself. The Waterfront "Mall" lacked little to be desired. Huge strip malls. Big parking lots. No view of the waterfront!? Bleh. In the evening, Carol and I went to see a movie that was being presented at U of Pitt. But the movie was slow... so we ditched out to go get hot apple ciders. Came home. Talked to Ronnie on the phone for an hour.
Today. Should need to be productive. That is all. <3

Beer & Wine
Adventures of a Thursday night....
dolly [I] wanted a case of Two Hearted Ale.
Joy wanted a 6-pack of Woodchuck's Fall Seasonal.
Carol wanted a bottle of wine.
How many stores does one have to go to in order to get these 3 items?
3 stores. That's right 3.
The beer distributor store only sells cases (24 and 30 packs) of beer.
The 6-pack store (which charges a hefty $14.99 for a 6-pack of Two Hearted... thus why I needed to buy a case $40) sells 6-packs, singles and typical Michigan gas station/corner store items.
The wine & spirits distributor store sells only wine and spirits.
... an hour and a half later. All were happy.
God bless Michigan's alcohol buying laws... Meijer's and Trader's Joes. That's all I got to say. <3
PS I just purchased the Martha Steward Comic Book off Amazon. Anxiously awaiting its arrival!

Mooncake Festival!
Monday night we went to Lou's they have a new policy that there is no glass allowed on the patio. Plastic cups. I am sad, but I still love Lou's Little Corner Bar. The patio was a beautiful place for a little [Chinese] Mooncake celebration with friends. White Lotus Mooncake was my favorite. But I am not trading in 7-layer cake.
Yesterday I came home @ 7:30 pm and no one was home. It was bit sad. Carol and Joy individually returned home shortly after. Generally, yesterday I was a little stuck in my head. Less so today?
