It finally happened! We moved the last thing from the old apartment to the new. It was a bit of a bittersweet moment since the other place has been home for nearly 7 years and after all that I might not be in it anymore. Already it feels foreign given the staging and the lack […]
Since pictures are worth a thousand words and all that, lets begin with how my desk looks right now: There’s artwork that needs to hung, my calendars that need to be shipped (someone ordered one over the weekend!)…and a drill… because of course there needs to be a drill! Even with the long weekend here […]
Well, well, it’s another delayed email! The weekends have become endless lists of chores at the moment or work. This week in general has been PACKED full of things. Including…packing and moving (har har! see? had to have a pun in there!) That said, this week has also been full of interesting things including, seeing […]
It’s been a week of chores more than anything else. These weeks come by once in a while where all the piled up things eventually topple so you have no way NOT to do what you had been putting off. In our case, it was moving more and more things into the new apartment. That’s […]
It’s only February and I’m already finding the weeks are starting to blur. I literally had to look at my calendar to see what I’d been up to since the last email! Maybe it’s just old age. This week has been a more relaxing one since I kept it intentionally light after all the coughing/chest […]
Since the last newsletter, it has been an avalanche of activity at my end. Literally a few hours after writing that, I was watching the fireworks, then packing, then flying to Norfolk, then starting work, then fielding what I thought was a scam call, then hopping over to Singapore and SO much more… New Years […]
The end of year rush is in full swing. I’m writing this in between cases while were waiting for patients to come from the wards or be admitted. If I seem to jump around a bit, that’s why! This week has been the “right” kind of busy: I’ve had fun lists with friends that have […]
This is probably the first newsletter on a Sunday in a while! It’s been a very social weekend with a BBQ at my place yesterday. Most of the week not spent working was trying to figure out the guests/dietary requirements/logistics and shopping. Pre pandemic, I was managing to do 2-3 of these a year and […]
This week can simply be summarised by the word “jetlag”. If it wasn’t clear to me that I’m no longer a spring chicken then the sheer amount of time it’s taking to recover from flights is a good reminder for the self! There’s been some unexpected work hiccups but overall, back to being in the […]
This is my first time in Texas and I really didn’t know what to expect. I’ve moved to not really looking up what a place has to offer (apart from the basic maps, directions, safety info) so that I can kinda wander and get a feel for the place before looking up the Insta-famous locations. […]
