Hi Everyone!
I am super excited to find this community - I moved to Orange County, CA from Chicago 6 weeks ago for my husband to begin his Pediatrics residency. We got married on a Saturday, he started his residency on Monday (as in 2 days later). I am trying to remain positive, but the job market in CA is pretty dismal, my husband works 24/7 (duh), and I am seriously struggling sans job, car, friends, or family.
I'm sure this situation will be better when I get a job, but at this point, it feels like I'm going to be biding my time for 3 years until we are FREE except for the fact that my husband wants to specialize in pediatric cardiology, so there's his fellowship after that...6 years of "waiting for things to get better" (plus 4 years of med school with the same mantra) feels totally overwhelming.
I promise I'm not a total Debbie Downer - just dealing with a lot of changes at once, and hoping that I will start feeling "like my old self" again soon!
PS - my husband's brother gave us a tandem bicycle as a wedding gift...i know he had good intentions, but WTF!? When my husband is home, he's sleeping, eating, or watching tv. Not suggesting that we take a MF-ing ride down the beach together. I am just imagining myself trying to ride it alone, like a total weirdo.
