Fitness Log #223 And Friday Fabulousness

I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for 4 years, and plan to continue doing so.

Soon after the pandemic started, I started keeping track of various firsts, as the world changed. It’s been nearly 3 years, and firsts are getting fewer. I will try to note any going forward.

I recently had the pleasure of once more spending an afternoon with my good (doctor) friend, doing MKSAP. We had a great time sitting together, drinking coffee, and gabbing on breaks between questions.

She is a bit older than me, and last year announced that she was ready to retire. She said she has other things to do with her time. Given that she is old enough to qualify for Medicare, I don’t think she is retiring too early.

She had told our group of friends that she wants to retire in the fall, in time to travel to some warm places with her husband. Her time to give her six-month notice is approaching.

However, she told me yesterday–in between study breaks–that she had discussed quitting (retiring) with the practice administrator, who countered with a offer to cut down to 0.5 FTE, enough to keep her benefits. She is thinking about it.

I am very worried she is falling prey to the One More Year Syndrome for all the wrong reasons.
