"The Calm After the Storm"
Today was that weird kind of day where all of a sudden there was nothing to do. I'm back in Sacramento for a week, and our annual party is over, all the work on the house has stopped for a few weeks, and it's that strange kind of let down when you've been running full blast for what seems like weeks and weeks, and the stress is finally over.
I remember experiencing the same thing in medical school. You'd have weeks of classwork, then weeks of endless nights preparing for midterms, then a solid week of exams with no rest except to grab something to eat to get back to studying... then Friday would come. Your exams would be over by around noon, and suddenly you were free with NOTHING TO DO. You didn't feel the need to rush to get back to the books... that was for Sunday night. And for just a few hours you could relish in the now.
That's kinda how today felt once I finished all the things I needed to do. I walked outside and stood in the sunshine, feeling the slight breeze, and just enjoyed being in the moment. Tomorrow it's back to the rush of the ED for a full 5 days in a row, but today was just a chance to recharge and renew.
