When I was in high school, I took driver’s ed, of course. And my teacher talked about using bright lights. And since we lived in a city, he predicted that it would be about 3 years before we would ever need to use these. He was wrong. I found myself driving with my dad outContinue reading “The N95”

Second dose update: Tales from the ones who went first
First of all, I am incredibly grateful and lucky to have received the Pfizer vaccine. I’m also incredibly fortunate that the company I work for had the resources, knowledge, and structure to implement a successful vaccination plan for its employees. For those of us who have received the vaccine, most are in direct contact withContinue reading “Second dose update: Tales from the ones who went first”
The Week After…
It has now been one week since the attempted coup. I had prepared what I thought was a carefully laid out, well researched post about my feelings in response to last week’s events at the Capitol, and I even posted it. It was really more of a temper tantrum when I continued to look atContinue reading “The Week After…”
Round Two is Done!
Second dose. Same as the first. A little bit sorer And a little bit worse. Is it sorer? Yes, a bit. Worse? That’s yet to be determined. I received my second dose of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine today. My employer warned us to expect a stronger reaction this time and to plan accordingly, for example,Continue reading “Round Two is Done!”

But in the end, I decided to go for it. Here’s why: First, as a healthcare provider, even as a physical therapist, I’ve been exposed enough that itContinue reading “To Vaccinate or Not?”
My take on COVID-19
The question has officially been asked of healthcare providers: do you want to be included in the first round of vaccinations? At one time, I thought this day would never come. I’m actually surprised that the therapy staff were included in the first go-round, but pleased. That being said, I will get the vaccine eventually,Continue reading “My take on COVID-19”
When You Feel Like a Slug…
Lately, my runs have felt anything other than easy. In fact, since I got sick in August, running has felt slow and laborious. It’s my new normal, so it seems. The first week in August, I developed Covid symptoms. I was sick for 2 weeks. The first few days, I couldn’t tell you which symptomContinue reading “When You Feel Like a Slug…”
Survey Says?
As the reality of spending a lot of time stuck in isolation sinks in due to measures to control the COVID-19 outbreak, I’m trying to decide what content to provide. I’d love to know what you want! Do you want me to continue the grocery store tours? I do have a few I can finishContinue reading “Survey Says?”
Anyone else feeling a bit anxious?
Anxious? Focus on what we CAN control right now. How many of us thought we’d see an outbreak like this in our lifetimes? Honestly, most days I feel like the queen of anxiety. My husband thinks my concern about COVID-19 is unwarranted. And yet here we are… in the midst of a pandemic. I thinkContinue reading “Anyone else feeling a bit anxious?”
