Aaahhhh. That is simply how I’m feeling right now after nearly a month away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

I never thought I’d say this after finishing school, but I love school holidays! Some of the regular surgeons I work with are away and I went out of my way to keep some of those sessions free. This means I’ve had little half days here and there the past week and it’s been BLISSFUL. […]

Weekly Summary (26th June 2022)
This week’s newsletter was on track until… I got distracted by cleaning! Because of the trip to Byron Bay and the ridiculous work hours, nothing had been done in a little while. I got a bit carried away tidying up and the next thing I knew, it was time for the podcast. It’s been recorded […]
