I actually prefer working in office but have two (optional) WFH days a week. This is my main reason for using those days 💕

When things smell fishy they are fishy

I started my PhD in 2020. I was a full time student and teaching assistant for 4 semesters. I then transitioned to part time, changed departments, and taught high school again. Then I took a year off the degree. I’m back again to finish.
In 20 years no one will ask me how long it took.

Unless you are a billionaire, you will always be closer to being unhoused than you are to being a billionaire.
So many people think they’re just broke billionaires.
Meanwhile, most people in the United States are one or two paychecks away from being unhoused.

Being a non-geriatric patient in the offices of cardiologists always meets you with judgement.
Most women who receive a POTS diagnosis will do so after an average of 5 years and multiple second opinions.
They just want to do an echo and say “look, no murmurs, your heart is fine, it’s just anxiety”

Before I quit teaching I was filled with a million questions and fears. I felt inadequate and unqualified.
Now that I am in the professional realm outside education, those fears seem absolutely laughable.
But to a teacher considering leaving, it’s very real.
This is a sign of toxicity.

Progress looks and feels different to everyone. In a lot of ways I feel like I didn’t “do” much this year.
This was a big year though.
I started pursuing medical care for invisible chronic illnesses.
I stopped living paycheck to paycheck.
I resumed working on my PhD.
These are big things 🫶

I saw a new cardiologist today. Two months ago, I saw a cardiologist for the first time, and he was horrible. He was dismissive of my symptoms and told me that he thought I had depression.
Today I had a completely different experience, and have been referred for the proper testing that I needed.

This was my first car. A 2002 Subaru Outback. If I could buy it again tomorrow I would.
It feels weird that this was 15 years ago.
