Josh worked essentially all weekend (he was on call and had a complicated case). I didn’t arrange any childcare, so it was all me. It ended up being . . . okay. I’m still in a bit of a mood spiral, but probably if…
Just popping in with my monthly “losing my (#$&@” post. I am going to admit it: I feel overwhelmed right now. With work projects, kid things, just all the things. I feel unhappy about that and just down in general. I have some form…
FEELING: overwhelmed (at least a little bit) though also happy because I had a great weekend away with Annabel (pix below, or for a bit more, check out the highlight on my Instagram). Honestly, it was so relaxing and fun! It made me want…

It’s a BIG week – our first round of residency interviews start (!), and I’m running that show (along with our interim coordinator) for the first time. Though I did get plenty of experience in our last 2 recruitment seasons, it’s different to feel…
Why not 🙂 ? 1- On call things. My call week will end on Tuesday morning, and I am actually rather proud of my (relatively) positive attitude through this week. Even if I did not try classical conditioning with chocolate chips every time my…
Call is going fine from a clinical standpoint. We were busy yesterday, but a manageable level of busy and the day went fast. I think I connected well with patients and I have a very sweet and interested first-year resident working with me, which…
