Catching my breath...

My baby is bathed and in bed asleep. Now I get to have a few moments to catch my breath from this crazy day! School has been keeping me busy - it kind of feels like I'm starting my practice because I have a pool of new patients that I am responsible for, and most of what I've been doing lately is exams and treatment plans! Today I actually started treatment for one of my patients, and we got a lot done. We were efficient enough to get two appointment's worth of work done in one, which is good. However, now we are to a point where my patient has to pay some money so the dental school can pay the lab, and he wasn't expecting to have to pay quite yet. So... I have to wait until he pays to send it out, and we are at a little standstill. Oh well. My schedule is starting to book up, which is great - next week I have no openings, though on Wednesday morning I'm taking Wyatt to the doctor for his 4 month check-up. The other day I had a chance to sit down and try to get organized for the year - I planned out appointments for patients and figured out what requirements I still need. Each day I am trying to think like I am out on my own, and I still feel like I've got a lot to learn... Oh, and I have to take my written boards soon (November 17 and 18), so I need to get studying for that soon. But wait, I was catching my breath... :)

Tomorrow is my birthday - I will be 25 years old! Maybe Wyatt will bless me with a good night's rest for a birthday present! I can dream, can't I???
