Apparently, I’m only allowed to have one decent night of sleep every two and a half to three weeks.

A nice autoimmune flare, but still managed my second best half marathon time today (out of 5).

It was nice to have a super long breakfast date with an old friend.

When the reality is that the greatest stressor in my life is the government of the country where I live, it is damned depressing. And terrifying.

I signed up for a race while visiting my in-laws in a few weeks. I’m framing it to myself as getting a medal for putting up with my MAGA in-laws. I also intend on running slower than normal, to maximize time avoiding them and keeping myself sane.

Met new PCP, really liked them. Halfway through the appointment, told me they are already leaving the practice. I understand why. I am just frustrated that it is a revolving door with no continuity.

I overhear things often when I am out walking or running. Sometimes, there is a chance I misinterpret things I hear. I don’t think there is a way to misinterpret this: “I don’t sleep with her because she has bad genes and makes ugly babies. I’m not touching that.” I needed the laugh though.

I have “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” stuck in my brain.

At my new job, I feel like I can actually leave work at work now. It is so freeing. I was never able to do that at any other pharmacy or lab job. I really hope that this lasts.

I went to a doctor’s appointment and ran into a former colleague. I liked this colleague, but it brought flooding back all the negative emotions about that job. As someone who already has anxiety due to years of medical gaslighting, those added emotions caused me to spiral. Trying to recover again.

Hubby and I need TV show recommendations. Doesn’t necessarily need to be current. Not something that requires lots of attention to details (like Dark). Pretty much any genre, except anime. We don’t have Apple TV, but most other streaming services. Any suggestions?

Is there a pharmacist position that has a nice balance of being actually intellectually stimulating and not being overly stressful?

“Of course you are leaving, you’re actually competent!” - multiple colleagues to me today finding out that I’m leaving.

Still jumping through hoops. I’ve given every W2 for the past 7 years and all of my diplomas, what else could they possibly need??

The hoops I am having to jump through for this new job, it’s ridiculous. I’m about to just say F it, I’m not working anywhere. I mean, it was confirmed that I worked at that place. Why do I need to give you more documentation? I gave you documents for somewhere else, and it still isn’t good enough?
