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 4 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.
Continue reading “Fitness Log #218 And Friday Firsts”I don’t know how many people are stopping by this little blog every week to see what’s new. But in case that number is greater than zero, I just wanted to say that I have been called away for an emergency. I suspect that I may not be blogging much (I may keep up with the exercise posts, to get me moving).
Best wishes for a happy holiday season.

She is lovely, and doesn’t say a thing about all the clutter in the living room. Nevertheless, I treat each visit as an opportunity to clear out more items: partly as honor-to-the-guest, partly to make sure she can sit in her favorite comfy chair in the afternoons.

However, the events of the past few days brought up a number of ways that I am thankful–and they all occurred on or after the holiday. I figure giving thanks is always okay, even if it seems a little late.
