Without the pressure of the portfolio pathway bearing down on me, I’ve gone a little crazy with self-directed learning over the last few days (or weeks 👀) and it feels so good. Reading the topics I want to, the way I want to. 🥹

I’ve run out of energy. Hoping that this weekend helps replenish some of it. But first I’ve got to get through a shift tomorrow.
I feel cheated out of a thunderstorm 😐 … inaccurate predictions for 3 days running.
People hypothesise about what they’d tell their younger selves if they had the opportunity. I want to write myself notes for when I’m older - the things that older people do that I’d like to avoid. I expect to fail, because human nature is consistent - no reason not to try!
Please do not try to clock “balanced list of threes” as an AI tell because that’s been classic rhetorical structure for going on three millennia and it’s baked into all our writing now, I‘m begging people to read more old things
🥹 Mom’s the only person who actually sounds sympathetic when I whine about being tired.
Pulling an all nighter after *years*, and feeling a little proud that I still can manage this unhealthy practice 😂… Future me is going to kick myself.
This has been a long month (Yes, I know the date. Yet the comment stands.)
🥹😭🥹😭🥹😭 I love thunderstorms. My timing for visiting Mumbai this year is later than usual, so I was sad that I’d miss the rains. But there’s a gorgeous, loud, lightening filled thunderstorm occurring now. My soul feels euphoric and content. 😌
Some people truly do change the world. Dr. Bartlett was one of them ❤️🩹
Buying my first house, working on my final submission for the specialist register, travelling to India for 3 weeks. Not got much on, have I? No wonder I’m a stress pot.
Things that keep me up at night - The slow house buying process with multiple stalling points. - The stress of the work I’m doing to try and become a consultant. - Government officials wanting to cancel the ILR.
Just casually and gradually unsubscribing from most online services in this increasingly expensive world we live in.
If things don’t go my way, I hope they still go well, and do the least amount of harm.
I have no good reason to be diving into ultrasound guided fascia iliaca blocks at 1 am, but here I am.
2 coffees and my favourite weather are not enough to help my exhaustion today. Goodness.
Unexpected thunderstorm has uplifted my mood tenfold. I’m happy ❤️❤️❤️

A lovely lady noticed I was waiting in queue behind her for my food & coffee, and she insisted I go ahead of her because I’m working and shouldn’t waste my break. 😭❤️ I’ve been feeling so glum. This is the nicest thing that has happened to me today.
I’m harbouring a lot of regrets right now, and they’re really getting me down. So in an attempt at catharsis … If I could advise my younger self I’d say - hide your talents, be good quietly, offer goodwill but don’t accept it - it comes with a catch.
One of the most important skills I learnt during my school years was how to lose graciously, and move on.
When I read books in my childhood, I expected to have them for a limited time. So I read with the intention to complete them. I’m grateful for that habit.
As soon as I wake up, get ready for the day, and sit down for a couple of moments … I need a nap. Got that sleep deficit 😴
I almost recovered from the cough that started in mid December. Until a couple of weeks ago when I started coughing lots again. And 3 days ago when I got a full blown cold again. Let me heeeeaaal.
Here’s me thinking about how I can start to cut down costs. I’ve already unsubscribed from some services I enjoyed over the last few years - some entertainment, some academic. Makes me sad to give up more.

As needed blood pressure meds probably aren’t needed! More data saying we do more harm by treating blood pressure aggressively acutely in asymptomatic patients. #emsky #emedsky #foamedsky #medsky @umemergencymed.bsky.social
Having to leave my cozy room and hot water bottle, to go to walk to work in cold rainy weather, and feel beat down for the next 10 hours… yay me.
