How’s everyone doing? Still hanging on? Remember when we thought 2020 was going to be “our year”? I miss that optimism! We’re in week 4 of the pandemic, and while we have at least a few more weeks to go, it’s still a really hard time. One of the go to “comforting” phrases or ideas […]
I was out walking my dog the other day in the neighborhood (go follow her cute adventures on Instagram if you’re interested @nomi.therapydog), when I saw not one, but TWO separate families on the playground near my home. And I got angry. I’ve been pretty angry lately, mostly because I think that we’re not doing […]

Sooo.. how’s everyone doing? Totally normal, uneventful month, right? Haha yeah right. I don’t think anyone added “global pandemic” to their list of things to conquer in 2020, yet here we are.

Hey, has anyone tried to buy hand sanitizer lately? That might sound like the beginning of a comedy sketch, which it is a little bit, but also a genuine question. It’s insane, right? Never in my life did I think I’d be talking about a hand sanitizer shortage, but here we are. THANKS CORONAVIRUS! Yup, […]
I know, easier said than done right? Let me tell you a little about me – I’m naturally a stubborn person (no need to look at my natal chart!). This has both its good and bad qualities. Obviously when I’ve made up my mind I’m more than likely going to move forward with that thing […]

I’ve been familiar with healthcare my entire life. My mom has always worked in the health industry. It’s only up until recently (as in less than six months ago) that I don’t receive care at an office in which she works. And to be fair, I still see a doctor at the last place she […]
