Thinking of snow

[xp_wallflower]

Looking at the weather report, we may get snow on Saturday. Even though I have absolutely no desire to dig out my car if it does, I'm still looking forward to it.

I am currently sitting in the sun room, typing this on my phone instead of watching the outside and contemplating my navel. I'm sure there's a law against that somewhere. Along with listening to classical music, or playing piano while doing it.

Although, I think that's usually followed by some sort of explosion/fight scene and I'm not sure the carpet in here could take it.

I've been reading about telling a parent their child has passed.

It's one of the only things I seriously worried about when I thought about becoming a doctor. How do you tell someone the person they loved is gone?

I still don't know how, but I hope I remember some of this article.

Honestly, that's one of my nightmare scenarios, having to have that conversation with someone. I've gotten luck so far but, these are the lives we've chosen.

It's funny how things intersect, isn't it?

Sometimes it feels like we're all one trauma away from completely cracking up.

Then a little kid tries to hand me her dollie because she thinks I look sad and as cliche as it sounds, I'm reminded why I keep doing all this.

Well, that and I look awesome in a white coat and stethoscope.

Sometimes all it takes is those little things to keep you going.

I have it back with an explanation that adults have other ways of fighting sadness but it was very sweet of her, yes.

Really? You've never gotten anyone killed before? I'm actually impressed.

There are easier ways than tormenting your fellows. I believe the Internet is known for it.

Looking forward to snow. It'd justify the cold in the air. Maybe it'll even stick around until next weekend.

One can always hope. It's been a long time since I indulged in a snow fight and I was hoping for at least one before winter ends.
