Tuesday

Sorry about the lack of posting yesterday. I actually had to work. It was not cool. But today I'm back at the hospital and our census is exactly one. One post partum. So there is nothing to do. We will return to our regularly scheduled posting today.

Busy morning

Updates might be slow this morning, I have a delivery coming up here "any minute now." But, get excited, I have a cool trick to share with you this morning. It will basically turn you into a crazy genius - your friends will start calling you "Rainman" when I'm done with you.

Blueprints

So some of you have been wondering about the direction of this blog. "Is it just gonna be a bunch of lame pics that you stole from other places?" "Is it gonna be lame all the time?" "Did you take a class in writing lame content at an online school?"

First of all, you people really like to use the word "lame" a lot. Secondly, thanks for your concerns. They are filtered into my junk box by my spam filter, so please, no more hate mail. And finally, yes, yes I will be putting original content on this blog. Have no fear. For those of you who like the lame pics, don't worry, they are gonna stick around too.

Here's a little of what you can expect going forward:

Monday - some story relating to my current rotation with some cool medically inclined stories and lots of blood and guts

Tuesday - list day. I will put out a list of things like - 6 ways to make your minivan a little more manly, or 7 reasons you should wear a man purse

Wednesday - will have to do with wedded bliss and how marriage doesn't have to suck

Thursday - I don't have anything good for Thursdays yet. If you have any good ideas, leave them in the comments

Friday - will be Physiology Friday - in which I will try to take a complex part of human physiology and explain why it is cool for the everyman (and everywoman)

On the weekends you should just count yourself lucky if I manage to post a pic or two.

Success!

So my plans for the weekend include a new post or two, but it definitely won't be 8 or 9 like the past couple of days. If you start feeling some withdraw symptoms, it's probably too late for you and no amount of posting can bring you back. That's my unofficial prognosis. For actual medical advice, stop being cheap and go see a real doctor.

Doh!

I'm having some issues with my blogging app on my iPad today. I had 3 posts sitting in the wings waiting to be published and they got deleted. Not cool. I spent at least 15, maybe 20 seconds on each of them. That's time I'll never get back. I'm going to go bang my head against the wall for a bit. Regular posting will be resumed shortly. Probably.
