Tuesday had the best weather since my coming to San Francisco. Before then, the days were steadily in the mid-50s with an unceasing wind. But that day, the high was 66 degrees and nothing above a caressing breeze was to be felt. Such weather just begs to be adventured in, don’t you think? Ever since…
2/13- Practically Purr-fect in Every Way
This week has been a great one! Workwise, the transition from learning the ropes to working independently has been smooth-sailing! When I started here, I began by shadowing the other sonographers in the department. This past week was moving from scanning patients with them in the room to being left to my own devices! It…
1/13- White-Knuckle Courage
My first week in San Francisco has come and gone! After being in Washington DC for five months, I have to remind myself that my time is San Francisco is going to be half of that. This time will go quickly, so I am urged to make the most of it. First week in, I’m…
Day 5: Sacramento to San Francisco, California
We’ve done it. We made it to San Francisco. We stayed the night last night in an adorable Tudor on Airbnb (and the owner said she is looking for short-term tenants, if anyone is interested). We departed to grab a quick bite, then made our way to San Fran. The drive went smoothly and before…
Day 4: Utah to Sacramento, California
Today, we finished our journey through Utah, traveled across northern Nevada, and made our way into California! We had decided when arranging the itinerary that we would save the additional two hours to reach our final destination for tomorrow. So, Sacramento was tonight’s stopping point. We saw (from a distance) the Salt Lake that gives…
Day 3: Wyoming to Utah
We have traveled 1,754 miles so far! Isn’t that incredible? Big Booty Judy (my beautiful 2014 Nissan Rogue for any new peeps to the blog) has been a one tough cookie, especially in today’s conditions! While there hasn’t been snow or rain, the wind on today’s piece of the trek was knarly! Gusts of 70+…
Day 2: Nebraska to Wyoming
Today, we trekked across the breadth of Nebraska, dabbled into Colorado, and ended the day’s travels in Cheyenne, Wyoming. We were on the road for eight hours and it went just as quickly as the twelve hours did yesterday. To entertain ourselves, we got through nearly (Harry Potter fans will understand) all of the first…
Day 1: Ohio to Nebraska
Off to my next assignment: San Francisco! I didn’t want Big Booty Judy to miss out on California, so my sweet mom and I are along for the ride as we trek across a chunk of our country! Today’s travels began in Columbus, Ohio and carried us through Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and into Omaha, Nebraska!…
23/23- So Long, Farewell…
“Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight til it be morrow.” ~Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare This week has been a week of goodbyes. A week of lasts. A week of hugs that lingered and meaningful looks that meant a little extra. On Tuesday night, we had an early Galentine’s celebration. We…
22/23- U is for You and Me
Three quite extraordinary things happened this week. Firstly, on Tuesday, I ate dinner with Kristen and another friend, Nicolette, at Gallaudet. While being surrounded by the deaf community is always something special to me, this night was all the more. Two students sat at our table, one known to Kristen named Alex and the other…
