Who am I?

My profile is almost over, I can start working out again! It's just so hard to replace my de-stressor (working out). Nothing like a good game of basketball, the wind knocked out of you after a game of racquetball, or the soreness of legs after a long run can give me a sense of satisfaction (and endorphins).

I've been finding other things to do while I can't work out. It's not the same, but gets my mind off of it.

Photo Gallery: I finally have a small gallery in my living room! I decided to use pictures that I've taken, blow them up, put them in frames, and hang them. Now my walls aren't white anymore! It's something pleasant to look at. My favorite is a collage of pictures of my friends. I look at that when come back from work to sit on my couch.

Guitar: Thanks to my buddy Ryan, I now have a musical instrument to play! I really miss my piano, but until I budget for one (and wait for a good deal) I will teach myself to play. My sister showed me a lot of stuff back home and my bass guitar skills are helping, but my fingers just aren't used to the strings. Hopefully after my calluses form I'll be able to play better. I've had one jam session with Ryan about 2 weeks ago. We looked up songs online and started playing differing riffs with each of us playing lead at various times. Music is very therapeutic.

I hope this week I can get my sleep schedule back to normal. Having a couple of hours of sleep prior to a 12 hour shift at the hospital isn't good...
