Typical Week:

SUNDAY

Day
Wake up and cuddle my dog, then hit the climbing gym for a few hours. When the gym is closed because of COVID, I go to my in-laws' place in Carlsbad where there's a pool, or do a hike with friends.
Evening
Before COVID, we usually ended the day at some breweries -- our favorite being Green Flash. Post-COVID, I get take-out or cook dinner, and eat with home with my husband and doggie.

MONDAY

Morning
Wake up around 6:30AM.
Drive to work (VA or Hillcrest).
Pre-round / get sign out.
See patients and round.
Afternoon
Eat a quick lunch.
Finish up tasks and admissions.
If I'm at the VA and patient care is slow, I'll go for a run during my lunch hour.
Get home somewhere between 5 PM to 7:30PM (usually).
Do a short work out (run or a climbing-related work out).
Hang with my husband and dog before going to bed around 10:30PM.

WEDNESDAY

THURSDAY

Morning
I love attending didactics in the morning. Now that they are on Zoom, it is even easier to listen in (if I get a good night's sleep on night float, I can still Zoom in from home!). I will sometimes multi-task during didactics by working out while listening in.
