I thought I would keep this short and sweet, for the busy med school grad.

Each week I have been logging my exercise. Mostly this is an exercise for myself; it has, on occasion, prompted me to get up and move (“for the blog”).
It is also meant for encouragement, in case a busy reader wants to know how other people get their recommended exercise; I don’t think it’s easy to get enough exercise these days, and I think it does people a disservice to imply that it is. Our lives are busy, and yet, you have to take care of your health.
It’s not any easier if you are the doctor.

Dad’s doing better, but now things are busy. Hopefully things will calm down soon, and I will have time to post more regularly.
5 Money Lessons from Dad
Things are very busy for me right now. My father is very sick with a mystery-illness (isn’t it always the case that nurses and doctors get the weirdest things?), so I am with my parents for now. I thought this was a good time to reflect on some of the many lessons my dad taught me over the years.

I had set myself a deadline of removing 180 books from my collection by the end of May. If I manage it, I should be able to get rid of a bookshelf that I no longer want, and make more room in the house.

Life has gotten busy in the Physician in Numbers household. And life, like many things, seems to require financial outlays at times.

Due to a technical glitch (aka: not finishing the post before leaving home), I did not post last Friday. I will therefore post on two weeks of progress this time.

Last week I walked to the shops and back, strategically passing three Little Free Libraries. These seem to be popping up everywhere in the neighborhood these days.

I’m very close to paying off the mortgage. It could be all done by the end of the summer.
For a few months, I will probably be topping off the savings accounts, refilling what was withdrawn to pay off the mortgage. But after that, a significant portion of my paycheck will be newly available for spending.
