Fitness Log #328, Friday Firsts And Fabulousness

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.

One More Year (Or Two), Here I Come

As I wrote two weeks ago, I had a meeting with my boss to discuss what my job might look like going forward. Actually, it was a pretty easy conversation, and all the changes I asked for were approved.

It’s very exciting, if a little scary, to contemplate cutting back significantly. I was able to put off thinking about it for a week, as my sister-in-law’s visit was quite a distraction. (Nothing bad, it’s just time consuming to have a house guest.)

Now I am starting to put the changes in action, talking to people at work about making those adjustments to my schedule and my paycheck.

What changes am I looking at?

Instead, please enjoy a piece honoring our First President of the USA:

In honor of President’s day tomorrow.

FIRE vs OMYS (one more year syndrome)

Just a short post today, as my thoughts have been darting all over the place in the past week.

I am meeting with my boss (one of my many bosses) this week, to discuss what my position might look like going forward.

Even though I think I know what I want, I’m torn between joining multiple friends in retirement, and continuing to practice medicine at my current institution.

This woman is literally at the drawing board.

Of course, what I want and what my boss can agree to may be very different things. Especially given the uncertainty these days with government funding.

I hope to have, as we say, some clarity about my future by the end of the week.

What’s new with you?

My Favorite Posts By Other People, January 2025

I read many blog posts each day. They mostly focus on personal finance, but also on minimalism and travel . This January I was more taken with personal updates than general posts. Here are the posts I spent a lot of time thinking about, even after I finished reading.
