It's been quite the week so far. I was REALLY sick over the weekend and yesterday and am now recovering. I need to resist the urge to throw myself back into everything right away. I guess the good news is that I was able to stay well under my max calorie limit per day, since I wasn't hungry! What I did eat, however, was mostly junk food, because I wasn't able to make myself eat anything else. Ooops.
The reason the weekend was really awful was that on top of my illness I was pretty depressed. I could barely get out of bed to do my job. I think I just got worn down by the loneliness up here in northern Maine, and the endless 80-hour workweeks for practically nothing (at least medical interns get paid somewhat well for working this hard, but we teaching interns don't make pittance). I needed sleep and rest and I didn't get it because I was on duty 6 night out of 8 last week. Tonight's my first night off duty, and I'm going to rent a movie and veg out and go to bed early because I deserve it!
