A note from Brandon
Brandon wanted me to apologize on his behalf to those of you that have noticed that the last time he posted on his site was May 1st.
My grandma’s Hungarian Goulash is good, but you can only re-read it so many times…
Instead of blogging (or Facebooking or Twittering) he has been slammed with a double-duty work schedule. He is spending 50+ hours each week at the hospital learning Internal Medicine and 24 hours at the Halfway House making money to pay our rent.
An snapshot of his schedule this past week…
Monday & Tuesday: work at the hospital from 7am-5pm
Wednesday: work at the hospital from 7am-5pm
Wednesday evening: sleep from 6-10pm
Wednesday night: work at the halfway house from 11pm-7am
Thursday: work at the hospital from 7am-5pm
Thursday evening: sleep from 6-10pm (that’s 4 hrs of his fave pastime in 48)
Thursday night: work at the halfway house from 11pm-7am
Friday: work at the hospital from 7am-5pm
Friday evening: fall into bed exhausted
Saturday: see below
Sunday: work at the halfway house from 7am-3pm
Monday & Tuesday: start all over again
Today (Saturday) is a rare day off for him and he has to spend it doing stuff he didn’t have time to get to during the week instead of catching up on sleep and relaxing.
You know, fun stuff like working on his MBA course and paying bills.
And yet, do I ever hear him complain? Not even for one second. Quite literally the only thing he complains about is not having time to blog.
He promises to be back soon. Unfortunately, he doesn’t get much of a long weekend, but I think he’s going to attempt to dedicate part of his non-holiday Monday to a post.

matt – he usually tries to fit it in Mon, Tues and Sunday nights.
but working and going to med school is not ideal. nor recommended, if you ask me.

Being able to sleep anywhere anytime….that’s a good skill to have for any upcoming parent. I forgive him for not posting on his blog.
This year I went outside and threw some seed’s at a patch of our tiny yard…..Rick keeps picking flowers and bringing them to me. So endearing.
