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 3 years, and plan to continue doing so.
I started the Friday Firsts sections as a way of keeping track of some of my “firsts” as I dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic. Things seem to be settling down, but I will keep it for now–more as a way to be aware and thankful of what is happening in my life.

The conditions at work have been going downhill (not enough staff, some issues with the physical plant), and I have been tired, and I have other interests I would like to have time to pursue. Some of my patients are not always pleasant to deal with.
On the other hand, I have some patients whose names on my schedule make me smile with anticipation. I love seeing them for their yearly or twice yearly visits.
