So,
I’m doing better! Yay. We’re trying new stuff with playgroup this week, so I’m worried/excited. I also have 4 evaluations to do this week. One is an adult (will explain soon) and the others are kids between 4 and 5 years old. So for the adult… I got a call a week or so ago from a guy at work who does a bunch of office stuff and he asked me if I would be willing to evaluate and treat a Polish-speaking adult TBI patient. I said sure, but I sort of felt like I had to do it because I was new. So then when I started to talk about how uncomfortable I would be doing this (because I don’t think my Polish is good enough), he made me feel guilty about it. If I don’t do it, then he’ll just get an English-speaking therapist and a Polish interpreter, which won’t be as good. Man. I’m nervous.
I visited the famous bean in Millennium Park today and also the water fall/face thing. And this morning I went out to the lake with a giant latte to read. It was nice, but cold.
And now for my other good, kind of embarrassing, news. Everybody around the house has been talking about match.com and dates and stuff. And I was feeling bored and didn’t want to spend money to do match.com. So instead I put up an ad on Craigslist. I ended up with a bunch of replies, a few were even pretty good. And last night, I went out with one of the guys. He’s really funny and he’s doing a medical fellowship at a really good hospital/university here and he’s actually good-looking. And he has really nice arms. I don’t know how old he is though-maybe 30? We went to get drinks at a bar with a jukebox and boardgames and checkerboard vinyl tablecloths and then we went to a music/street festival nearby. It ended up being a lot of fun. After I got home I was worried that I hadn’t done anything to let him know I was interested. When I told this to one of my roommates, she told me to send him a text that was something like-last night was fun, thanks. So that’s what I did. And I just got one back! He said we should get dinner. Now I’m in a good mood.
