For weeks and weeks I have been struggling at work to keep up. I was the only doctor in the office every morning for three weeks- a long time to be the sole person responsible for every visit, laceration, refill, phone call, and abnormal lab result. I’ve been a frantic Smokey the Bear, desperately stomping out small fires and expecting something to burst into flames at any minute. I’m tired.

Josie learned to clap yesterday. I hope I’ll remember her this way forever, but just in case I took about three hours of video footage. One day I’ll want to lock her in a basement for wrecking the car, and I plan on viewing it as her "get out of jail free card." She’s growing so fast, and I wish I had more time to document everything she is doing. I'm too busy just enjoying it.
