This week, I’m thankful: that I’m sure about my educational choice A lot of things in my life feel rather up in the air right now, but I doooo feel sure that nursing school is where I’m supposed to be. I love the medical material, and the personal side of it also speaks to my soul. Here’s a quote from one of my textbooks: One tip for practice is to cultivate the habit of reflecting on your clinical encounters each day.

This has come up a few times recently in the comments, sooo, here you go! But before we do that: this post is gonna talk some about weight loss/gain (and there’s a picture of me when I was pretty skinny), so if that’s a topic you aren’t up for, maybe skip reading here for today. Also: I’m not an expert, and any weight-lifting you do is at your own risk!

1. I got the bare minimum haircut service I generally get a haircut about once a year, and it seemed like it was time. So, I went to Haircuttery and got the cheapest haircut they offer. I always skip the blowdry/style service because it costs extra and my hair is so thin, it dries on its own by the time I get home anyway! I’m glad to have healthier ends again.

A reader wrote me an email telling me about some family troubles, including the story of her son leaving an abusive marriage, with his little daughter in tow. At the end of her email, she said, I wonder if you could address the importance of taking care of one’s mental health especially during really hard times, specifically in frugal ways. First: I am most definitely not a licensed psychologist/therapist/anything of the sort.
