ONE I went back to work this week – I know that has surprised a lot of you – I was surprised too! We’ve always been told that our teams would not return to work in the office until there was a vaccine and/or positivity rates were low, but our entire building was told to report back to work. It’s nice seeing colleagues (wearing a mask and social ...

ONE It's beginning to look a lot like...Christmas! Look, I've never decorated for the holidays this early, ever. But 2020 is something of an oddity in all aspects and I decided I wanted to enjoy the greenery and sparkle a little longer. I'm changing up our tree this year to add this blue velvet ribbon (in Williamsburg blue) and some other fun ...

It critically affected my mental health to rest, adjust to my medication and work on getting more mental health support. I remember when my initial 2-week leave was coming to an end, I was so anxious about ...

Welcome to this week's Friday Five! ONE My mental health has not been doing well this month. It wasn't until someone sent me this article that I truly realized why we feel so depleted. I've had trouble focusing, concentrating and feeling motivated/productive. Though I have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and am not new to some of these ...

It's Friday and I couldn't be happier! This week has really dragged for me. I have felt really tired, unmotivated and depleted, even though I've been working out everyday since Sunday. I don't know if it's a culmination of pandemic stress or the fact that I was not emotionally prepared for the last few episodes of season 11 of Grey's Anatomy, but ...

Happy Friday! INVISALIGN, PART DEUX I have the day off of work today and am finally starting my Invisalign refinement trays. I finished my initial 20-tray treatment months ago, but due to COVID-19, there were understandably clinical delays in getting seen again and having my teeth re-scanned. My refinement phase will be treating my overbite ...

I hope you had a great week so far! I had a four day work week this week and it was so wonderful to have several days off in a row for the July 4th holiday. It definitely left me feeling re-energized, but I'm going to start this post on a heavier note before I get into the fun stuff. THOUGHTS & FEELINGS We are still at home...all the time. ...
