still here!

wow, i can't believe i haven't posted anything since october, i am such a lazy loser! things have been crazy...so i'll just sum-up. we are out of our house here in 3 weeks, sort-of homeless for about 8 days (staying with a friend), then up to the great white north the 1st of march, i only stay for 4 days, then i'm back by myself to finish out my shifts here for 2 more weeks. i am glad we sold the house, and without taking too much of a loss,  but this whole moving-out-early is making me a little nuts.
i have moved many (many) times but this is by far the most stressful...think it is a bunch of reasons- distance, whole new country, moving with 2 small children, and 2 dogs, mom going back to NY to live (the kids have never been without her, she truly is a third parent), new medical system, different medicine, blah, blah, blah. anyway, i am excited too. i know it will be great to have more time off to be with the kids, and patients are patients, i just hope that i'm not a "soft" academic and can survive in a busy community ED. i am a bit worried since the last time i worked in a community ED  i was in fellowship and moonlighting and i was practically suicidal on my way to my shifts. i do think that had much more to do with that particular hospital and the terrible situations we had to work in (long story/ies) so i am sure i'll be fine. and i have many friends who do community medicine and love it. they may all just be crazy, but we'll see.
i have been doing virtually no knitting except to finally make myself a hat (my head was cold!) and knit about 6 pathetic inches of a scarf for myself. everything i make is for someone else so i figured i could take a little time for something for me. now that Finn is occassionally going to bed at a reasonable time i have a little time to knit. most of the yarn has been packed away but i did leave myself a little bag of semi-finished projects.
anyway, with more time i am hoping to keep this up a bit better. i've said that before but whatever, i don't have anyone to answer too and i am fairly sure no one bothers to wander over here anymore to look again at some silly 4 month old post
well off to knit a bit on my scarf (i did at least get myself some cashmere yarn...shhh)
