“Sweet, so would I,
Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.”

- William Shakespeare, From “Romeo and Juliet”

The time has come to say farewell. I always planned on writing a long and very well thought out last post for this blog. But, it turns out that I’m not so inclined at the moment. Perhaps I will come back at a later date to do so.

But for now, I just wanna say that it’s been one helluva ride! Thanks to everyone for your loyalty, for your love, for your hate mail, for your inspiration.

This is goodbye.

Please update your bookmarks, feed, mother, and what not to: http://www.doctorpsychobabble.com

That’s where I’ll be hanging out in the blogosphere for the time being. Come join me on my next adventure.

Peace out!

In the past week I have managed to: spill an entire cup of coffee all over my laptop (and I have now determined it is 100% broken), medical diploma, cell phone, and other items; drop my espresso carafe onto the kitchen floor; break a wine glass while washing it in the sink; break my ceramic toilet paper dispenser (don’t even ask how!); and walk into a wall. Yes, I said WALK INTO A WALL.

The only reason that I can think of (except for the obvious…a brain tumor) for my extreme clumsiness lately is because I’ve been on cold meds almost non-stop for weeks now. Yes, it’s ridiculous. I have been sick FOR WEEKS. I’m so sick of being sick, it’s not even funny. Anyway, I’m trying to wean myself off of the cold meds, but this means that I keep coughing uncontrollably (to the point of vomiting phlegm sometimes). Yeah, it totally sucks.

So, I’m stopping the cold meds, cold turkey, starting from now. Maybe I’ll stop breaking everything that I come in contact with. Or maybe not.

Note: I also managed to cover the entire contents of my bag/purse thingy with ranch dressing, but that’s a whole ‘nother story.

Thanks to Doc Cartoon for allowing me to post her work!

That’s what’s been going on in da life of Kendra. I’m STILL recovering from a cold, but feeling better. I went out on Wednesday to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, and had a blast. I received my “real” medical diploma in the mail on Thursday. Hopefully, I will be able to get it framed soon, before I spill coffee all over it.

Other than that, not a whole heck of a lot to say.

My apologies, readers, but being a bum just doesn’t stimulate me to write. But I promise to write some “real good” stuff soon. Promise. In the meantime, please enjoy these crappy iPhone pics.

1) A mural in Astoria, New York.
2) and 3) Cinco de Mayo fun.
4) My 100% legit medical diploma. Booyakasha!

Oh my little blog, how I have missed you. I am a very strange gal. You probably already knew that. I have had (another!!) cold for the past few days and with the coughing and sniffling and cold meds, I’ve been a little whacked out. One would think that with me having absolutely nothing to do all day long, I’d be mad blogging every day. But it turns out to be quite the opposite. I seem to blog MORE when I am super busy, and less so when I’m bored. Perhaps it’s because I really don’t have much to say. And yes, that’s the case right now.

So, today has been very nice. I went for a long run in the park with my doggies and then came home to find my diploma in the mail! Okay, don’t get too excited…it’s not the REAL one, it’s just a certified copy (I needed it for my residency program…and yes, for those of you detail oriented folks, I graduated with a very high GPA…summa cum laude…aka “with highest honors”). But my real one is in the mail, and according to the USPS website, it should be here tomorrow! I feel like I keep giving you all “almost” photos…me in my graduation garb, but not at graduation…a photo of my diploma, but not the real one. Anyway, the “real” photos are soon to follow. I promise.

After my run I made a smoothie and then took a bubble bath. I then packed up my picnic gear and headed again to the park, and again with my doggies. I basked in the sun (for probably too long) in my bikini and finished the book I’ve been reading (more on that soon) about a doctor’s experiences in her medicine residency.

None of this is very exciting, and I realize that. But I honestly I just don’t have anything else cooler to share with you, world!

In other news, I’ve been trying to come up with fun and creative ways to make money (I am 100% broke), but have so far only managed to make a meager amount. It’s amazing how unemployable I am. I’m overqualified for most things, and underqualified for most things. How lusciously and cruelly ironic! If anyone out there has any recommendations on how to make one million dollars (or $100) in one month’s time, I’d love to hear them!
