Wow. It's been since August since I last blogged and not too much has happened. I started my new job and I love it. I'm an Infection Prevention Specialist. What that means = I tell doctors to wash their hands and to not drink their coffee on rounds. Honestly, it is definitely more involved than that; I perform surveillance for hospital acquired infections......have you ever heard of MRSA? I'm all over that! The benefit to this new job is that I have something different to do each day and I still use my public health training. Actually I was just accepted as a presenter for the National Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology conference. I'm very excited about it not only because of the honor, but also because it's in Denver, CO and I've never been!
Cooper is getting to be one big dog; in fact, I bought him a new crate and it has a picture of a Great Dane on the front of the box. He isn't that big, but he certainly is tall and long......but not like a Great Dane. Yeah. I'm thinking about adding to my little family by raising a Paws with a Cause puppy. I would apply for a puppy that I would raise and train to be an assistance dog. Cooper would love the company and I would get to play with (and train) a beautiful little golden ball of fur. Kyle isn't too thrilled by the prospect of another barking puppy, but I'm thinking about it......
Kyle threw me a surprise 30th birthday party in December! Kyle is doing well as a mini-doc--rotating through the different departments in the hospitals. I certainly have become an independent woman! He's currently on a week of nights delivering babies. But, we do get to see each other rather frequently otherwise. In all honesty, I can't wait until he's done with all of this, but then I remember the six. years. of. residency. At least we'll get to spend next year together taking fun trips around the country and possibly visiting Africa for his "easy" rotations :-)
