A female primary care physician opines on money, travel, fitness, and other topics to be determined
I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for over a year, and plan to continue doing so.
During this pandemic, though, things change so rapidly, I want to acknowledge some of the ways we are coping with it. I am keeping track of some of my “firsts” as I deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Continue reading “Fitness Log #93 And Friday Firsts”I have been saving links to posts by other people for over a year. Some of these posts just struck my fancy at the time, others I find myself thinking about for weeks or months afterwards. I would like to share them with others, rather than hoarding them on my list of saved posts. I hope some of them speak to you as well.
I love, love, love stories about travel hacking. Not the low stakes stories of: I had to rush home for an emergency and saved a few hundred dollars on a last minute ticket using miles. No, I like the big shebang: look at this crazy thing I did for free (or nearly free).

Between stay-at-home orders, then having to care for Mr. PiN after surgery, I have spent more time in the house this year than I ever have. No problems with boredom: I love bustling around the house, rereading old favorites, and enjoying our small yard.

I opened up a card or two, worked to get the welcome bonus, and was plotting how best to use credit card bonuses to reduce the cost of our multiple planned trips in the coming year.

People can have some odd ideas about doctors. Like, that we don’t get sick, or never have to deal with the same run-around they do when they try to call an office.
I had one patient tell me “well, since you’re a doctor, you don’t have to worry about high blood pressure.” Which, since he didn’t know anything about my family history, salt intake, or blood pressure readings, was clearly not a particularly informed statement.
