If there's one human behavior that has changed completely because of my work, it is my driving. Since my resolution to change last month, I have consistently remained a safe and boring driver. No longer am I the fastest driver on the roads as I used to be. In the operating room I don't see the ones who have died from car accidents-- those are for the emergency medicine residents to handle. But of those victims who have survived-- I see the worst of them, because they inevitably need surgery. And what I have seen has scarred me for life. I wouldn't say I'm now afraid of driving, but what I feel is close to that.
I slept for a few hours this morning after I got home. Then realized that I only have a dress for Saturday, and nothing else. (Thanks for reminding me, Lara, by asking if I had accessories yet!) So off I went shopping for a strapless bra at Victoria's Secret, bought eye shadow at Chanel (the saleswoman knew me by name though I hadn't visited since September; I was impressed), and engaged in a several hour quest for the perfect shoes. I ultimately settled on a lacy pair from Ann Taylor:
Not sure if these are "perfect." The material and color are similar to the top of my dress. But are these shoes too "black" for the dress? I have a back-up pair of pearly-colored shoes at home if a lighter color is the way to go. For the sake of my bank account, I'll skip the search for new jewelry.

Hey, good for you. Sounds like you are really getting the hang of the job! Now comes the satisfaction of a job well done. I've got to start over from scratch now with Surgery and I start with on-calls!! Got lots of refresher reading to do tomorrow.
Well done on the driving. I admit that I have tried to do it, after my atls course when they spoke so much about all the potential injuries, I have tried to slow down, I know I should, but my competitive nature means that I can't stand to lose when another car speeds up. I will continue to try though.
Ooh, those shoes look as though they match the dress perfectly in texture and lace. Can't be certain of the shade of cream/white but the pattern certainly will match. As for accessories, you are young and youth is the best accessory that money can never buy. How exciting, can we have some anonymous photos? (you get what I mean)
And the strapless bra, such an important item, I need to get one with will go with a backless dress, I really need a bra with those dresses (sigh, small chest)
How's chanel like for makeup? Never used them before but their foundation seem to get lots of hype. Have a good week. xx
