Hi all! Today is my first work from home day! I just got approved to WFH Mondays and Fridays and I love it. My typical commute is 45-1hr each way. It’s the best as long as you have childcare. Enjoy the PJ time and optional shower! 🍾

aprilz81 so nice! Do you have an office space? Supposedly after 90 Days with a good report they will bump us to 3 Days. FX rebeccabunch yes! My H works 4am-early afternoon shifts so DD will still continue daycare. However, it’s nice to have family lunch and be one level away. I could never imagine trying to juggle both work/kids at the same time.

I have a dentist appointment in a bit. Thrilling stuff. I haven’t been in apparently five years. Fail. Hopefully they don’t say my teeth are a disaster. I hope it went well! I was in your spot a year ago and while they said I could definitely floss more, they were surprised at how problem free my teeth were with not being in in 5 years. So you never know, it could be completely fine!

I've been feeling dizzy, on and off for the past week. So I called the nurse line today and she got me in to see the doctor within an hour. Everything is fine and I was told this is completely normal. She also said it was good I was getting a warning signal of being dizzy and not just passing out like some patients.
I was given a prescription for compression socks since I'm on my feet most of the day, so I'm hoping that helps. Thank goodness for insurance because 4 pairs set me back $480!

I have multiple pairs and have never once in a million years paid that much for them. Granted, some of them I took from work since it’s fairly common for my patients to need compression socks. But still.

I could never imagine trying to juggle both work/kids at the same time. I am currently using a bedroom as an office (and craft) space. If we have another child and I'm still working I will have to decide between keeping a dedicated guest space or getting rid of our formal living room and working in there. But that is a decision to make way down the road...

Hi all! Today is my first work from home day! I just got approved to WFH Mondays and Fridays and I love it. My typical commute is 45-1hr each way. I am so jealous of you! I would love to WFH 1-2 days a week. I think eventually, I’ll ask my boss if I can do that. I’m a buyer so I can basically do everything at home.

amesie A place called Bioped (custom orthotics). I’ve never bought them before but was told by the OB to go there. She also made sure I had insurance before writing a prescription because they are so expensive. Insurance only covers 4 pairs a year so I’m going to have to do laundry often. Maybe it’s a Canadian thing to be outrageously priced?

You all inspired me to floss last night after a long hiatus and my mouth was like a horror movie. Pregnant flossing is the worst!

I go to the dentist every 6 months and hardly ever floss. My teeth are really close together and it hurts when I floss sometimes so I just don't. *shrug*
