Thankful Thursday

I’m going to bet that you saw that last post and thought that I was breaking my “Thankful Thursday” string of posts. No such luck!

Today I’m thankful for…

  • A 5 pm deadline for that paper.
    Dr. Driskell said, “You barely made it before 5pm.” I know. Almost everything today took longer than I expected.
  • C.Y. Thompsen library.
    I really feel like I need more practice with case studies and they had a copy of Clinical Cases in Dietetics. Yipee!
  • Valentinos with my sister.
    It’s so nice to take a break and chat about medical things without my dinner companion getting bored.
  • Auto Playlists
    I just set up a new auto playlist to wake myself up to in the morning–so I’ll get to hear all sorts of new music every morning. (Wake yourself up with your computer by going to Control Panel–>Scheduled Tasks–>Add Scheduled Task. Then search for your playlist–it’s generally in My Documents/My Music/My Playlists. Then set the time you want to wake up and which days–and whether you want it to repeat, etc. At the end, ask to “open advanced properties for this task when I click finish.” In the advanced properties, select the “settings” tab and select “Wake the computer to run this task.” When you go to bed at night, hibernate your computer instead of shutting down (select Shut down, then press shift to see and select the “hibernate” option). Your computer will wake up to wake you up in the morning with your very own playlist.
  • the Journal of the American Dietetic Association
    Thursday is definitely my day for getting good mail. I think I’ve mentioned mail every week since I started–and today was no exception. I got my first issue of JADA. Interesting note from what I’ve read so far–a recent study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that taking fish oil capsules prenatally may decrease asthma risk in children. Fish is definitely a hot topic for pregnancy–with pros and cons alike.
