I’m back!! I missed blogging tremendously with so many times thinking in my head, “Oh, I gotta write/share that!” but I made a commitment to let things settle down to a dull roar before I started posting again, not wanting to have this start/stop bad mojo on the blog. Thankfully, I think I’m finally at […]
Thanks to all who showed up last night for the live broadcast! Dr.A. would have to confirm this for sure, but I think that the chatroom peaked to its highest number so far for the show…that’s awesome! For those that didn’t get to tune in, the archive is #18 and is available at Dr.A.’s […]
It’s been about a month or so that various OTC infant cold-allergy manufacturers [semi-]voluntarily recalled their products in light of dosing mismanagment. Our little one has never had any OTC medication from these recalled “infant” products, so I don’t have any experience with them. In addition, I can’t get my hands on any of the […]
One of my recent projects was coming up with some audio/music to use for my daughter’s sleep. White noise is ideal to block out unwanted din, especially living here in Mexico in a closed off gated community (coto) where everybody insists on living their lives outside. You can’t really tell the neighborhood to “shut […]
Who said I can’t have fun with my daughter’s things?
OK, so I’ve about had it with this teething crap. We already have a high-energy, go-go-go, sleep-fighting, hell-on-training-wheels toddler (16mo) as it is. The two upper canine teeth are coming in simultaneously, and it’s about all I can do to keep it together. After the Tylenol and topical Orajel have run their course […]
A thousand-mile journey begins with that first step, and so too does a long-overdue blog post also begin with the first words. You just have to start or it’ll never happen. That first step of a journey is pretty much the only one guaranteed to be 100% directly towards one’s goal. I mean, you […]
Of course, here in Mexico, it’s non-existent. I spent the whole day yesterday forgetting today was a holiday. There are no “4th of July Sales” advertised on TV/newspaper, no ads for barbeques, and no brilliant fireworks tonight. There are, however, fireworks on any random night that one of the local soccer teams wins a […]
I finally came back Wednesday night, and what an great trip it was. I am still adjusting with a tinge of post-travel fatigue and dealing with being alone again needing to study like there’s no tomorrow, but everything went really well with my family on all fronts. I spent much-needed time w/my daughter […]
My daughter turns one year old this weekend and I’ve come back to Texas to celebrate with the family. It seems so long ago that I saw my daughter born, so much has happened in between. I’ve gone from being a 1st year med student to a second year med student which is no […]
