Olympic Fever

I've got it, the flush of the face, the increase in t.v. time despite beautiful weather outside, the late nights despite work the next day ... a classic case of olympic fever. Now of course I do not have the time to watch all olympic events, but I am loving what I can get. In general, I don't watch sports. Of course I get sucked into basketball with Matt every March, but other than that it just doesn't hold my attention. But for some reason, I love the olympics. There is such an energy! As Matt and I watched the men's 400 relay last night we were actually cheering, loudly, and jumping up & down in our little bedroom in Peoria.  It is definitely fun getting swept up. I also mentioned the olympics with almost every patient I treated today - good conversation topic. I also caught myself trying to sneak a peek at their t.v.'s while we were working. Not fair, they get to sit in the hospital all day and watch the olympics ... just kidding, I would never actually wish to be in the hospital. But... if I had to be, olympic time is not a bad time to do it. 

Tomorrow after work we leave for Seattle for a mini-vaca/mostly Nikki's wedding activities. I'm really looking forward to our time there, but I'm not sure how much olympics we'll get to catch :(
