From push fluids , the good life is having two days off per week and sleeping in your own bed. I can’t wait for residency:

let me just say, that 4 weeks into my ambulatory month (i.e. no call and no weekends!) and i am totally getting used to the good life. really, anyone who has two whole days off per weekend every weekend cannot complain about work. every monday when i get back to work, i feel like i have had a mini-vacation. and i get to sleep in my own bed all of the time – no possibly-clean sheets and thin blankets of the call room. no. every night i get to cuddle inside my big bed and sleep for many uninterrupted hours. and if i over-sleep, who cares? it’s not like i have any early morning responsibilities these days.
