Cooking like a madwoman, trying to gain some sense of control.
How’s it going?
It’s fine. I’m fine. Everything’s fine.

Theater geeks are the best.
One of my favorite parts of seeing Wicked was just how HAPPY people were leaving the theater. Adults, kids, and especially the theater geeks like me.

I have often left my ED shifts crying. It’s a heavy, heavy place. And if it isn’t a specific patient, it’s because the system is so broken.
I learned a long time ago that letting it out is far more healthy than trying to hold it in.

I’ve been an attending for 8.5 years and I SOBBED leaving the hospital today.
Sometimes the weight is too heavy.

Well it's official. I didn't make it thru my first week working in the ICU without crying. Last year it was within the first day.
Sometimes this job is just truly very sad. And I'm human.

Turning 50 in a few months and have planned nothing! Thinking about a great trip in October. Maybe an Italy/Croatia cruise? Thoughts?

Absolutely an essential part of living…
When people refer to reading as a "hobby" it always surprises me. I was brought up with reading as a way of life. I've never thought of it as a hobby so much as an essential part of living. #booksky💙📚

This! The library is a magical place!
I love libraries. As a latchkey kid I basically grew up in my local library. As an adult, finding my books in the library is how I knew I had made it as a writer. Please use and support your local library, they're incredibly important to your community and to the country.
I always love when authors speak approvingly of libraries.
I mean, I'd LIKE to be able to buy a copy of every book I've ever liked, but in between financial and spatial requirements ...
So, yeah, the library is where it's at. For this, and many other reasons.
