long days, short nights ahead

Yesterday was "the big day" in hospitals across the country: all the freshly-graduated doctors made their first appearance in their respective hospitals as residents. So Eric donned his new scrubs and (doctor-length!) white coat to join the ranks and left the house at 6 am yesterday and got home a little after 8 pm. After about six hours of restless sleep (for both of us) he got up at 4 am to check his pager; by 5:30 am he had left the house again. I received the following text from Eric at 7 pm tonight:

"Im still alive. U may never see me again."
