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 2 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.

It is true that cable is expensive–my father in law calls the companies “bandits” for a reason–and watching too much TV does use time that could be used elsewhere. Like for reading. Or blogging.
In the PiN household, however, we feel we get such enjoyment–and education!–from the cable-provided music stations, that the price is worth it. Especially since, once we account for the fact that we need a reliable internet source anyway–cutting cable would save us $2 a day. We totally feel we enjoy $2 worth of music daily, not counting the actual news, sports, or drama we can watch if we chose.

I think peak wedding season is coming to an end, but if you aren’t sure what to give as a present–or what to ask for–here are my favorites, seen through a retrospective lens. I have linked to my favorite items, or similar options, but these are not affiliate links. I get no monetary benefit if you decide you want to buy any of these.

Over the past week, I had to deal with some of the inconveniences of having just one car in the family, as Mr. PiN took ours out of state to help with a family emergency. [This might be why this post is coming out a week later than expected.]
I thought it would be worthwhile to go through the many ways in which this one-car situation has overall yielded great benefits, while acknowledging that sometimes it is not ideal.
