I finally got some labwork done. My metabolic numbers are improving. I need to go back to get my a1c checked… but from my daily numbers off my CGM, I’m pretty sure that my current diet/exercise/med routine is doing the job it is supposed to be doing. The nutrition plan that my trainer and IContinue reading “Health Update”

New Month; Same Me
February 1st. Historically, I have struggled with my mental health around this time of the year. Thoughts of being unalive and how I would achieve that would run rampant. I haven’t had that problem in the last few years. It is a nice change to that roller coaster. That’s not saying I still don’t struggleContinue reading “New Month; Same Me”
The aftermath
Since the verdict, I have been dealing with work-life drama. As I’m not about to let more drama into my life, I’m actively pursuing other avenues because no situation or circumstance at work is worth my peace and mental health. Though we were found not guilty of a felony, we still have to deal withContinue reading “The aftermath”
New routines
Now that I have a good working exercise bike and I have a membership in a program, I am starting to build a routine. First was getting my medications on board and a schedule that is consistent. Now, I move on my bike every day. 8 days and counting (I’ll stop counting at 75). AndContinue reading “New routines”
Pivot
My life is the same yet different. I go to work and do my best for my patients. I do not expect to be liked or to have connections with every patient. Yet that seems to be what my bosses want. So, it’s time to pivot… to areas of my true passion and calling. TheContinue reading “Pivot”

We were supposed to be witnesses to a wedding this past Saturday. Instead, we were subjected to verbal abuse, and the efforts we put in were completely ignored and unappreciated. I have lost complete respect and trust in the groom, and I have absolutely 0 desire to have any relationship with the bride. On theContinue reading “Weekend”
Health check in
If I can be grateful for anything from last weekend it is that I had a huge slap in the face regarding my health. I’m more diligent in tracking my morning and evening BGC. And, I finally scheduled an appt with an in network physician. I just need to start going to workout again. ItContinue reading “Health check in”
In the Midst
We are knee-deep in the aftermath of the ending of our most recent placement. It is hard. I am tired. I am trying my best to do things and I am doing my best to maintain balance and compartmentalize, and I feel myself failing at that too. I have my annual review at work thisContinue reading “In the Midst”

Recognition
Yesterday at lunch, I was ordering a meal in the cafeteria at work when a nurse in full scrubs and mask asked me if I remember her. I scanned her badge, and I did recognize her voice… but where/when/who she actually was/how I know her, nope… I had no frigging clue. She placed the when.Continue reading “Recognition”
