Career Path
It's sad when you want to stay away from Facebook because all of your veterinarian friends are posting about animals. It makes me sad for what could have been. And then I think, 'could have been'?? It makes me wonder if I should still try. Yes? No? It's a big decision. I'd have to be 200% sure it's what I really want and worth all of the cons.

Empowerment
Anybody read any good books about female empowerment/finding oneself?
C took over my running endeavor since my ankle injury and now I feel like I need to find a 'thing'. Right now my list consists of swimming and gardening. Ultimately I think it's probably that I'd just like to belong to a group outside of anything I do with my husband. Guess I'll need to do some networking.

Wipe on, Wipe off
I know I've said this before, but I can't believe what some people do to keep their houses clean.
C bought me that to-do list app a while ago (Epic Win) and I've been using it religiously--oddly enough, it's helped me keep the house clean way more than I thought possible. Right now I just have mop on Mondays, laundry on Tuesdays, bathroom on Wednesdays, etc. But I had this bright idea today to expand my list to include weekly items like change linens, iron clothes and monthly items like wash/dust curtains, wash windows, wash fans.
So I decided to do a little googling to see what chores should be done daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. I was amazed at what I found. WAY more stuff than I'm willing to do. Replace your pillows every year?? Seems like a waste. I quickly became overwhelmed but amazingly I was able to pull back and decide for myself what I want to tackle in MY home and how often. Baby steps. I think I have a good list: change bed linens, wash curtains, wash windows, wash fans, clean fridge/freezer on a more regular basis, dust, clean oven, iron clothes, clean microwave, reconcile finances. These are all things that I want/need to do but haven't been.
I'm excited about my expanded list and I don't feel bad that I'm not replacing my pillows every year.
