Need vs. Want


I have never cherished my weekends more than I do now. Ever since we changed over to the electronic medical record (EMR), the work has become more consuming. I was in a mad rush before the EMR, but I'm now in more of a rush AND seeing less patients. With all the work, fortunately, the weekend arrives fairly fast . . .and I crave them. For a moment, I almost thought I'd moonlight to make extra money during the weekend, but why?

I make more than I did as a resident--with the same lifestyle-- and I almost let greed get the best of me. I dreamed of having my weekends as a resident and I'd be absolutely crazy if I traded them in for more money.

Greed. It almost got me.

Zerbert

Rudy Huxtable used to Zerbert Mr. Huxtable. You know, those "zerbert" kisses on the cheek. Well, however you spell it or describe it, Ryan knows how to do it. I zerbert him all the time on his belly and he zerberted me back on my arm.

He's 13 months now. . .
