A female primary care physician opines on money, travel, fitness, and other topics to be determined
Thoughts on things mostly unrelated to work or money
I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for 6 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.

I am curious about what I will do with that extra day, and think blogging about it might prompt me to make sure I take advantage of it.

When did I wake up: 5:30 am, we had a very loud bird outside the bedroom window, greeting the dawn. I did not fall back asleep. Alarm went off at 7:01, as we have workers coming to the house today to replace our downstairs carpeting, any time after 8.
Who am I spending time with: Lots of medical people, with visits to the pharmacy (I couldn’t get there before they closed on Friday); the dentist and dental hygienist (scheduled); and then the optometrist to pick up new prescription sunglasses (they came in today, my first pair in >1o years. They are a huge improvement!).
What did I do for work: I took the bus into work, while our carpeting was replaced–I would otherwise have been boxed in and unable to get to the dentist. I spent 3 hours working at my desk, and still didn’t clear all the patient messages; though I did complete student evaluations and skim through a few papers. Later in the evening, I spent about an hour catching up on professional e-mail digests.
What project am I working on, now I have time:
Catching up at work, mostly.
Though tonight Mr. PiN and I may work on going through all the stuff we had jammed into our front closet, which had to be pulled out yesterday. Our sofa is heaped up with more things than I could imagine were hidden away.
What did I do to “fill my bucket:” I lay down in the afternoon, that early morning wake-up knocked me out.
What else was good about today:
The bus ride was awesome: not too crowded, with great air conditioning. I could see the seats even have USB ports for charging.
I treated myself to a take out breakfast: pricey, but a fun change.
The best was coming home to new carpeting on the stairs, so plush and comfortable.

When did I wake up: 8 am, per the alarm, as Mr. PiN needs to be somewhere this morning.
Who am I spending time with: Mr. PiN, mostly. I did see a former partner this afternoon–we caught up, and she showed me her new (to her) house.
What did I do for work: I checked in to the electronic medical record several times today, spending nearly 2 hours authorizing med refills, reviewing test results and managing messages. I also skimmed through several journals (a double duty task: work and decluttering).
What project am I working on, now I have time: Nothing huge today, mostly managing bills and errands. This might be because I cleared out several grocery bags’ worth of journals and magazines over the weekend.
What did I do to “fill my bucket:” Catching up with my friend was great, as was watching competitive tennis (live!) at lunch time.
What else was good about today: I made myself lunch (nothing fancy) instead of eating out of my lunch box.
