Signed the contract for my first big girl doctor job today! It is the exact practice setup I dreamed of, with an incredible group of people, and it all came together in a way that feels like fate. I’m so grateful and excited.
Purchased a 5 pound bag of apples with my grocery delivery today. My groceries were dropped off at 3:50 p.m.
There are currently no apples in my house.
I live with freaking locusts. 😅
Working the next three weeks straight 😩 so I forced myself to go out last night and pretend to be a real person who still knows how to have fun.
God bless my husband. I woke up this morning and decided I needed to completely revamp my house, diet, and fitness (despite the fact that I’m working the next 18 days straight on inpatient medicine lolol), and this man is just calmly feeding my delusions without complaint.

Apparently I have done an incalculable amount of harm by calling the consulting team to consult on a patient for consulting services that they provide.
My pleasantly demented patient who has no idea who I am says “Have a good day baby, love you” every morning when I leave his room and it’s kind of the best part of my day.
My “tiny” twins had their sophomore Homecoming dance tonight. You’d never know it, but I’m actually really tall. 😆
8yo was asking me about hippies this morning.
“They started in the 60s, right?”
“Yes, and they were popular into the 70s.”
“Were hippies around in the 80s, when you were born?”
“No, not really.”
😳 “They all DIED?!?”
🤣🤣🤣
My 16yo son fractured his fibula and waited three days to tell me about it/ask if we should get x-rays, this is how much my kids respect the fact that I am a doctor. 😅
I got heavily invested in giant pumpkin/squash growing TikTok this year, in case anybody was curious about my mental state.
Ok but if I ever get admitted to my own hospital, I have given strict instructions to my colleagues that I am to be admitted to the peds floor. Biggest rooms, nicest nurses, best snacks.
My program has helped me develop my own OB panel and all of my patients are Spanish-speaking, and they’ve starting sending friends to our clinic to ask for me specifically and I just 🥹🥰
Told the 8 year old, who kept coming in my room while I was trying to work: “You stayed out for all of three minutes that time.”
8yo: “Ooh, that’s my high score!” 🤣
I guess I’m weird, but this seems so fun to me and I would absolutely pay for this if I had a free weekend and it wasn’t too far away. But I love going to weddings and I will take any excuse to get dressed up.
A weird thought I had today: sometimes I’m happy when my teens act kind of selfish. I never got to do that growing up, never had a safe space where I got to act like the center of the universe. So while I’m trying to raise them to be kind and considerate, them occasionally…
Me when nobody pays attention to my dumb little posts: 😢
Me when too many people pay attention to my dumb little posts: 😩🙁😳😭😣☹️😫😬😧🥴🫣😶🌫️
Once my patients hit 80 I tell them they’re “playing with house money” and we can do or not do pretty much whatever they want health-wise.
