on call

Today is Matt's last weeknight on call for the next 5 months.

On call? Why in the world would a dentist be on call? Well, here at Stony Brook University Hospital, we have a dentist available for your dental emergencies. And you are free to come in at any time, day or night, as long as its a week day or week night. Then it's not my husband's problem. He's still there one weekend a month through June, but we celebrate the small victories around here.

When Matt's on call, I engage in the glamorous pursuits of watching my girly shows and tackling piles of laundry.

I know we're just two people, I don't know how this happens. It's those scrubs.

We had a storm the day before and I left my tennis shoes on the back porch. They are sopping. There is serious debris all over the yard. But there is also a clean feeling to the air. Moose and I also took advantage of the fresh-scrubbed sky and ventured down to the beach.
