Lance the boil

• Today I met Lance, the boil, in all his infected follicle glory. So what did I do? I cleaned him with betadine, injected him with lidocaine, sliced him with a scalped and let the juices flow. It was nasty and awesome at the same time. I have found I really like procedures.
  

• In other news, I can't quit my job at the hospital unless we risk it and go with health insurance until March (when Eli is benefits eligible). I just don't want to do it, but I can't afford COBRA (at 1500$/month who can???). Oh well, I have to pay off the eye surgery anyways.
  

• Jake is walking. He looks so big standing tall.

• I like my job at the clinic, but I have realized I have spent 8 years in school in order to listen to people problems for 8 hours/day. It is quite draining. By the end of the day when I get home, I just can't take another complaint...Poor Eli...he doesn't get any sympathy.

*Also I am craving another one of these (not the hubby). But baby #2 will have to wait until life is a little slower and we have switched to new insurance. sigh....
