Second Day Concerns

Today is the second day for Wife at her new job. She is working as an attending at a Dallas-area hospital. Yesterday she was shown around and got measured for her medical coat. She'll be in charge of a couple of residents and apparently will be taking over the director's rounds. In fact, she just learned that the boards that she just took was written by her director. Wife was able to say to her directly, "It was really hard!" The director replied, "Good, they were supposed to be." The highest score in the country on the boards only scored a 72!

It's also my second day on the job.... taking care of the Bear. Yesterday we dropped Wife at work and then went to the Dallas Arboretum. Very beautiful. It was pretty cool just hanging out with the Bear. I must admit that I feel very daunted by the task of caring for him full time. I have so much more respect for homemakers (now that I am one) because it is very difficult. I know things will get easier when I get into a routine. But right now I feel that I am not talking to him enough, or playing with enough, or whatever. Plus he has his physical therapy issues which are always present. Wife is very supportive of me which I appreciate. I feel like I need to learn more Spanish for his sake.
