Skills...

This girl has got them. 


I've always been amazed by the agility, flexibility, and strength that these little bodies develop in such a short amount of time.  If only we could retain this capability to get in shape so easily throughout the rest of our lives.

Since moving to California I haven't done much in the way of exercise and I've gained a couple of pounds. But really nothing even remotely close to the amount that would warrant having someone ask me if I am pregnant. 
Yet, one of my patients today did just that.  Hello!  I thought it was a well known rule that you never ask that question unless it is blatantly obvious and even then it's still not always safe. 
I tried to give her a way out by responding, "No, I think it's just the shirt I'm wearing."  
Any normal person would have taken the escape and ran with it, but instead... 
"No. You really do look like you could be pregnant." 
Alrighty then.

Mike got me an awesome treadmill from craigslist today and I'm going to be putting it to good use.
