THIS MONTH
It's been almost a month since I last updated - mainly because I've been so productive! I've got quite a number things on my "to do" list crossed off and the tough ones like organizing the different rooms have been started and are still an on-going process.
The month of May is a super crazy schedule. Alex and I went to his continuing education (CE) conference for four days in Alliston. It was a nice little getaway for the two of us - romantic dinners and golf courses - in addition to learning and being challenged since it was a Christian medical conference. I really enjoyed it even though the topics don't directly apply to me and it was the first professional conference I've been to that went out of their way to include the spouses. It certainly makes me re-consider travelling to the states for the Christian optometry conference that goes on every year since it was neat to meet people who share many of the same interests and topics sparked some great discussions between Alex and myself.
Then I had my own optometry CE conference this past week. I decided to save money on hotels for this one and commute to Mississauga instead. Waking up at 5:30 every morning sucked, although fortunately traffic wasn't bad. It has been so long since I've sat through lectures, I realized I actually missed learning. I was absorbing like a sponge that first day I was there and actually saw a lot of ppl I didn' t expect to see. By the last day though, the commute was taking its toll on me and I was too exhausted to pay full attention to what the speakers were saying and I slipped back into my usual hobby during classes in school - doing suduku =P. Although I always hated "networking", I tried to sit with women a few years older than myself so that I can get some ideas of how they combined their career with family. That's always interesting because everyone has different thoughts and priorities. I guess it was stupid of me to expect a one-size-fits-all answer. I still don't know exactly what I want, but I'm fortunate enough to have the flexibility to take it one day at a time.
In other news, my belly's getting firmer (definitely not as squishy as it used to be now that the baby's getting bigger). Everything seems to be on schedule at the moment, the baby's movements are getting pretty vigorous now that I'm at 30 weeks.
That's it for now, more to come when the schedule dies down a little =)
