Myopic

There is an Ansel Adams photograph of a really cool-looking tree in my patient's room. I rarely ever notice the artwork in my patient's rooms. Isn't it strange how one can become oblivious to one's surroundings? I mean, this photo is right next to my drip titration guideline sheet and has been here since the building was built. And yet, I am only really looking at it for the first time. Jeffrey Pine, Sentinel Dome by Ansel Adams

This photo was taken at Yosemite. I have always wanted to go there. There are so many places in America that I would like to visit. This is part of the appeal of travel nursing: you can make a ton of dough and then take a few months off to do whatever. Also, of course, you could travel somewhere cool and work there. I really need to spend more time in the West. I have never been to the Northwest or the Rockies. Look at those mountains. I am enjoying looking at this photo and thinking about traveling while I am in this isolated hospital setting.
