February: a blur

February is nigh done. It's been snowy at times - so much fun while it lasted. I have just finished a string of night shifts that has left me rather discombobulated. Yesterday I woke up in the afternoon before going in, and my lower back went out when I was climbing out of bed. Bwah. I think all manner of interesting thoughts when I'm driving home in the wee hours of morning, then they just don't seem nearly as interesting later. But above is photographic evidence that February existed.

Onward and upward to spring!

Tiny Monsters

Nana Monster. KidV Monster.

LJ Monster. BJ Monster.

LJ Monster and BJ Monster blasting off.

I am on ultrasound rotation right now where we get steeped in ultrasound (or rather the pekoe tea of ultrasound is infused into our mountain-caught and Bunsen-burner-boiled hot water so actually ultrasound is steeped in us...) by scanning almost every day and going through self-directed learning modules in our free time. Common ultrasound finding: monsters. You probably think I'm joking, but I am steeped in ultrasound right now and I am not joking. I'll try to find some monsters on the internets:

Body Monster. Couldn't be anything else.

I told you. Monsters.
Really? Really, I actually know what I am seeing when I scan now, which is nothing short of miraculous. Really, I had a little spat today about whether a sliver of black was free fluid and I WON. So that's really good. I'm pleased but not complacent. Must. Scan. Better. Monsters are more fun:

three not-cute chipmunks and one smug kidV

two cute monsters

PS Nana will KILL me if she finds out I put this on the internet.
