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 5 years, and plan to continue doing so.
Since the pandemic started, I have been keeping track of “firsts,” and more lately, I have been trying to note good things (“fabulousness”). It’s a good way to pay attention and not let life slide by.

Since the pandemic started, I have been keeping track of “firsts,” and more lately, I have been trying to note good things (“fabulousness”). It’s a good way to pay attention and not let life slide by. However, I seem to have let things slide by me this week.

Continue reading “Fitness Log #300 And Friday Fabulousness”I read many blog posts each day. They mostly focus on personal finance, but also on minimalism and travel . Here are some of my favorites that I read in the past month.
The list is much shorter than usual, as a system update closed all the open tabs of posts I planned to include. I have just 3 posts, which were definitely the ones I found most memorable.

We all knew each other before the pandemic, but even my closest friend didn’t meet up with me every week. After 4 years of (nearly) weekly meetings, I think we are all closer friends than before.
We are not all doctors, but we enjoy talking a little about medicine (for some reason, we especially love references to syphilis–don’t ask). Most weeks we just catch up on each others’ lives, our work challenges, our family woes, and lately our vacation plans, and support one another.
In the past 4 years, two of us have gotten promotions at work, and another took a new, more senior position. The last one, my friend with One More Year Syndrome, cut back on work and has her last day of work in her sights.

Continue reading “Fitness Log #297, Friday Firsts And Fabulousness”A few months ago, I took the plunge (so to speak), and decided to try using a shampoo bar instead of the liquid stuff sold in plastic bottles. I was mostly inspired by Michelle at Boomer Eco Crusader, who argued that shampoo bars were better for the environment and less expensive, too.
I started using my first bar about 3 and 1/2 months ago, and I see it’s about time to replace it, so I thought it might be time to reflect on my experience.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that I have contradictory thoughts about the impacts of small changes.
