Weekdays to Weekends

These last two months have flown by; particularly the last three weeks.
Weekdays, I am exhausting my brain with radiography/ hospital procedures. Weekends, I am exhausting my body with outdoor recreation and travels. Perhaps, my irregular sleep schedule is possibly the most exhausting of all. My schedule at the hospital changes every week, ranging from starting at 5:30- 12am. This leads to the inevitable problem on the weekend of being unable to sleep in late. In fact, I am lucky if my body will let me sleep till 8am- even after a late night of craziness.
Even though, it has been fun. I have been to the beach multiple times, had a glorious birthday weekend, and most recently took a trip over to Smith Rock for some spectacular climbing.
Upon my birthday weekend I will elaborate further. (Mainly, because so many people came together to make it spontaneously grand.) In total, I went out to dessert with my friends at Sweet Life, went to a concert featuring the Silversun Pickups, Manchester Orchestra, and Cage the Elephant. I also went on a hike up Spencer's butte, went out to lunch at the Bernstein, visited Saturday Market, and went to a Shakespeare play in the park. Not to mention shot some impressive guns, a bow and a couple airsoft guns and finished off with a hike up Skinner's Butte. Yes, the year of twenty three shall be grand.
Ha, twenty three even started with a trip to Smith Rock climbing multi-pitch for the first time ever! Yes, life is good.
500ft up!
