How Embarrassing!

Hhmmm...I just checked our blog and found that our wallpaper is no longer active. Guess it is time for an update! Gav and I will try to keep this thing running a bit better from now on but we aren't making any promises!

So that this post isn't completely lame, here is a picture of me and a few of my College of Pharmacy friends after immunization training last week.


All in all it went pretty well, except for the part where I hit my partner's bone with the needle! I was told by my evaluator that it is fairly common and that the patient can't feel it (bone has no nerve endings on the outside). Unfortunately for me, I could definitely feel it but was grateful it happened for the first time during practice rather than on an old lady in the community!

While I have been perfecting the needle stick and studying, Gavin has been spending time on YouTube trying to discover his hidden talent/new hobby. He stumbled upon these guys...



...and thought "That can't be that hard". To be honest, I was quite skeptical (those guys have had years of practice, it will make a huge mess, Gav will end up looking like Joseph in his Technicolor Dreamcoat...". When I left for work last Saturday, Gavin told me he was going to clean up and maybe do a little painting. I came home from work last Saturday to this:


Gav told me it only took him around 15 minutes and the only paint residue I could find was a trace amount on his right hand. We were both pretty impressed with his new found talent/hobby. While I was studying (a daily occurrence) on Tuesday night he decided to go outside and paint some more. Here is his 2nd spray painted masterpiece:



He's pretty good, huh? Sorry I didn't orient the last 2 pictures correctly, Gav is usually the "uploader" for our posts. We hope everyone had a great summer and we will try to update you on how we spent ours soon!

Pretty funny that you hit the bone...I'm pretty sure I would too. Gav's painting endeavors are pretty cool.
