This is Will's schedule lately:
1. Go to hospital all day.
2. Study quietly at home all night.

| A couple o' med books. No big deal. ;) |
My schedule has been:
1. Work at the museum. Usually 9:15 am to 4:30 or 5 pm.
2. Convince Will that it is too nice to stay inside ALL day, so we go for a walk/throw the football around/get in some sort of physical activity for a half hour or so. Then it's time for Will to study again.
3. Do my own homework/procrastinate doing my own homework.
4. Day dream about happy things such as:
Daydream No. 1) Being able to actually afford to shop at the Hyde Park Treasure Island grocery store.

| Oh! Hello there, you crazily delicious, outrageously expensive Treasure Island olive bar! |

| And perhaps one day I'll be able to afford you too; you lovely, odorous, overpriced imported cheese. |
Daydream No. 2) Being able to plan and afford a vacation again.

| Gorges du Verdon, anyone? |
Daydream No. 3) Wait. How about actually being able to plan anything again.
Me: "Can we go to Mackinac Island for the weekend in June or July?"
Will: "I'd love to honey, but it depends on my clinical schedule."
Me: "I am going to buy concert tickets for August 28th, kay?"
Will: "That's excellent! Just remember that we don't really know if I'll be able to make the show or not. It depends on my clinical schedule."

| Remember me? I am the hospital that OWNS YOUR HUSBAND! *insert evil laugh here* |
Daydream No. 4) Possessing a student loan balance equal to ZERO.

| Knocked out our six figure student loan balance? Gee golly, that's grrrrreat! Those are all good daydreams, no? |
You've probably already guessed, but tonight Will's studying quietly, and I am daydreaming again!
Ciao!

PS. I know that this post might seem kind of cranky and ungrateful. I am the first one to admit that I am occasionally cranky, but I'm never ungrateful. I must reassure you that I knew what I signed up for when I married my med student husband. Truly, I wouldn't trade him for any of the daydreams listed above.
