Groundhog’s Day
Today we plucked a groundhog out of his home, made him stand up to see if he could see his shadow (which, let’s be honest, he can’t, because he’s a GROUNDHOG) and then made a totally indeterminate prediction about the next 6 weeks of weather.
(Whose idea was this? Seriously.
Why can’t it just be like, Human Shadow Day or something. Why a groundhog?)
Regardless of the stupid tradition that gave the movie I seem to be living its name, I can’t help but feel a bit of irony over reliving one of a kajillion past experiences.
See, after calculating all my medical bills from 2008 and suffering a medium sized stroke anxiety attack over the absurd amount of money wasted, I now, just two days later, have a raging UTI.
Because, you know, I wasn’t spending quite enough on my health yet in 2009.

Welcome! I'm Katie, a 27 year old, full-time graduate student who just happened to have brain surgery in November of 2007 to give my ginormous brain a little more space. This blog chronicles my daily life, from relentless headaches to falling over in public to being a doctor's wife. Sit down, get comfortable and stay for a while.
Oh ugh. Quick – what did Bill Murray do to stop Groundhog Day from happening over and over? It wasn’t learning to play piano. Or becoming a surgeon. It was something. Whatever it was, do it quick!

Hey umm awhile back, wasn’t there mention of scheduling that thing called, oh, I don’t know, a cystoscopy? Yeah, that test’s a bitch, but these constant UTI’s can’t be a party either. Just sayin’…
Have a good week – feel better soon! And I’ve never really understood Groundhog’s Day either… at least it hasn’t been taken over by Hallmark yet!

I wouldn’t call the medical expenses wasted money. After all, you are here with us making our world a better place!
