in between
i was so close to my friends in college, that when we began graduating and not being able to meet with each other for months at a time, i began to feel like life was just something that happened in between the time we spent together, which was REAL life.
o how life changes!
this is just an in-between blog, nothing really happening, nothing to really blog about. i'm going to visit my parents for a week inshallah this coming weekend. since i'll be gone next week i have to do my dining review a week early. musa's one year checkup is tomorrow; i have an appointment with the ophthalmologist on friday.
i finished finn mac cool, and since it was the last book in my batch and i haven't had the chance to go to the library again yet, i've been re-reading parts of it here and there... it wasn't profound in any way, no deeper meanings the way white teeth probably had, but it was so deeply evocative of ancient ireland that the images still linger in my mind - the hill and bog of almhain where finn built his home, but in the winter (and who ever thinks of ireland in winter?) with bare branches and tangled berryless vines, the golds and browns of the sleeping land under winter sunlight - i admire how she paints a picture of an entire culture by telling the story of one man who was unlike any other in that culture.
anyway, so i have to go to the library, maybe today? and run a few other errands. musa has taken up to four steps at a time now, but still prefers crawling - much faster, more efficient, i suppose! he's putting my hairbrush or his comb to his head and trying to brush his hair now (this is what the AAP calls a cognitive milestone, using objects as they are meant to be used instead of eating them) although he still eats them too. and occasionally with toys that are beyond his physical skill to use, after i show him how to use them, he will handle them for a minute then hand them back to me, clearly wanting me to do it again (like this little whirlygig launcher he got in a favor bag from a b-day party). still waiting for some more words, though!
alright off we go...

Yeah, "cognitive milestone".
Ask any neurologist and he will tell you that is what we give to an Alzheimer patient (a comb) and ask how do you use this?
But since now we dont go round keeping such 'superfluous' objects in our pockets any more, we just ask them How do you use a comb or hammer a nail etc.
To tell you the truth neurologic examination is a giggle-producing examination. Not that other examination is not.
I rememeber I was in NE England examining a 'chesty' patient with my stethoscope and asking him to say '99' repeatedly. He got impatient and asked me quite innocently, "Doctor!when are you going to ask me to say 100?"
Oh that's what it's called. That makes it more special. :)
Will I get to see thee ... I hope, I hope!
Life is like that.
Somebody said, If life was a horse and wishes were stars, I would have been ride the horse and enjoying the stars". But it cannot be that way everybody knows.
Remember that past is always gold and future unknown. So make full use of the present.
