Pug elixir
For the past two weeks I've had my head buried in a review course for my second round of board exams.....step 2.  It's an exam taken by all 4th year med students.  It's 350 questions or 8 hours of mental torture depending on how you choose to look at it!!!  Today I had a meltdown and went home after lunch.  My mind was beginning to implode under the weight of all the information that I'm trying to keep straight and when that happens I have to step back and take a deep breath.  And a nap!  Even though I had downed a diet coke and a Mountain Dew (fully leaded) me, Ruby and Amie all climbed into bed and were fast asleep for the next two hours.  That tends to be my coping mechanism.....sleep.  And because I wasn't ready to face my books I took the girls to our favorite park to get some fresh air and exercise.  I can always count on Ruby and Amie to be my anchors.....whenever my mind becomes clustered with anxiety these two little furballs can always ground me.  One look into their bubble eyes and sweet expressions and suddenly aortic stenosis and DVTs become temporarily unimportant.  I can say without a shred of doubt that my furballs have kept me sane since day 1 of medical school not to mention all the other trials and tribulations :-)  Pug Elixir!!
