Home visits are always interesting in Palliative Care. No worries about my safety (other than my hearing)…this noise alert was not generated by a human. Any guesses on what kind of creature was this loud? #palliativecare #lcsw
A screenshot of an Apple Watch high decibel alert. It shows that there was noise that topped out at 106 decibels

My pre-social media hobby…also pre children. Hobbies that involve needles don’t mix well with postpartum anxiety (or small children). My parents are moving into a small independent living apartment snd gave these back to me. #craftsky #countedcrossstitch

I work two days a week doing inpatient palliative care consults. The hospital is on a nice little campus, nestled in a historic neighborhood. Part of that neighborhood is the cemetery behind the hospital. A nice peaceful place to take a walk during the work day. #hapc #lcsw

I attend a couple of knitting groups in my town. They’re welcoming of my #loomknitting and pretty much welcoming of anyone that shows up. You can probably tell that the Thursday night group meets at Panera. #craftsky 🧶
