Minding My P’s and Q’s

I’m in the middle of a crazy work period, with long and busy days.

In the meantime, I still have other obligations, some of which won’t wait until I go back to a lighter work schedule.

While people talk about taking care of the big things (housing, cars) and letting the little things work themselves out, I am getting pretty anxious about taking care of business. I have to tackle those little details that cause so much pain when you miss them.

Fitness Log #54

Just because I am a doctor, and encourage patients every day to exercise, doesn’t mean that I don’t have my own issues with getting sufficient exercise. Long hours, tiring days, family obligations, illness: they are all stumbling blocks, no matter what your occupation.

I have been recording my exercise weekly, mostly to keep myself accountable for reaching my goal (sometimes this works, sometimes I miss). If anyone reads this, I hope they will take this as encouragement to keep going, acknowledgement that it isn’t always easy.
