Another week completed

Another week has gone by. Doesn't seem to be any faster or slower than any other. I try to keep a good attitude and also keep concentrating on the mission here. I guess it is just a small part of trying to keep my morale up. It is hard when you are not really keeping up the clinical skills that you normally practice due to a much slower pace. It has been good and relaxing, and definitely less taxing. The stress is different than at home. At home there is more work stress, here it is more non-work stress. Living conditions are not like at home. Food is not like at home. The people have been great, but they just aren't family. Having to walk about 5 miles a day for just food, bathing, toileting, and getting to work, is definitely more healthy, but makes the day a little more time consuming. That is OK, cause there is nothing else to do, but eat, sleep, work, work out and play a little.
