One of the takeaways from my trip to AZ was that P!nk is forking awesome. So many of her songs have touched me in the past, but the latest album, Trustfall, has really spoken to me.

My Mom played it, what I thought was annoyingly, but as it turns out it really spoke to everything we were going through as a family.

Turbulence is very relative.

First visit to Dorchester since my volunteer trip to Ukraine🇺🇦

Brought a gift from Poland for my mother who is adapting to radiation therapy. My hero🦸🏽‍♀️

And I gave a card to Malique who was accepted into the FIRST class for the Boston Fire Cadet Academy🚒

Family is everything❤️

Using the scales of justice, this #ArtForSale tries to keep the Work-Life Balance even. That is hard to do, isn't it? #LifeIsLikeThat #thoughtOfTheDay #Life #Work #Stress #familyfirst https://fineartamerica.com/featured/work-life-balance-karen-cook.html

Morgen dann Mittagessen mit der Family. 🙄
Am liebsten hätte ich ja abgesagt und mit jemanden anderen was unternommen.

It’s day 2 of me realizing I spelled my username wrong. Time has slowed to a crawl and getting out of bed has become a chore. Gotta give a shoutout to my family and friends though. I’d be nowhere without their love and support during this difficult time. #familyfirst

When the parents want to downgrade their transoceanic flight to business from first class because they don’t want to connect internationally. I thought I did them a favor by booking them in Row 1. 🤦‍♂️

Gehe ich jetzt zum Nachtdienst? Natürlich nicht, #FamilyFirst

Muss halt die Rufbereitschaft den Nachtdienst machen 🤷‍♀️

einziger "Nachteil" als Medizin- Studierende mit Kind und Kegel:

Famulatur oder PJ nur in der Nähe. Aber hey, das sehe ich persönlich nicht so als Nachteil

Chapters for latest episode didn’t get published last night. Hope to finish them some time before noon Pacific time. We’ve got a sick little one that needed my help last night. She seems to have settled in now. Hoping to get some sleep so I can function today. My apologies for the delay. @adam #FamilyFirst

@Peaceandprosperity @Bearclaw it’s my fault. I haven’t published them yet. I’ve been doing family stuff, but will get them posted tonight. I usually do my darnedest to get them published the same day, but occasionally they’re a little late. It requires me to listen all the way through, marking chapters as I go. Then, I sit at my computer for about an hour to add images and links and then publish. Each episode requires about a 4-4.5 hr time commitment. Thanks for your understanding. #FamilyFirst
