I’m feeling grateful for the mess of this stage of life. In a very cliché, rite of passage way - but grateful nonetheless.
Early 30s. Married with a young child. First few years of home ownership. Balancing DIY home projects between school drop-off, gymnastics, and jujitsu classes. Squeezing in my own personal care between patients and father-husband life. Trying to maintain and build new family traditions. And so on. My nose is always just barely above the water line.
Being fried after a day of cognitively and emotionally complex patients, messing up my fourth attempt at mitered hallway trim, and then having my 4yo latch on to my leg and saying, “Appa! Freeze! You’re frozen now!” because she has no idea how much I “need” to get done…
It's (wonderfully) exhausting, and I know that I will miss this someday.
