Holidays are quieter now due to avoiding covid in a world that has gone back to normal. I’m so grateful for the time I have with my parents — and that they are willing to quarantine to see me. I already can’t wait for Christmas 🎄❤️

And now I’m hungry 😋

One thing I’ve learned during the pandemic is many doctors do not keep up with the latest scientific literature, especially when information is coming so frequently about #covid long term damage. Listen to the scientists and the patients. We are living with it — we know when things aren’t right.

I accidentally walked 16 miles on my walking pad while working today. I was in the zone, didn’t realize how late it was til it was dark. I’d planned to only walk til lunch. 😂 Anyone else feel like a walking pad helps you hyperfocus on work? I have tunnel vision while on it! #walkingpad #lifehack

Former CDC director explains how COVID is not a respiratory disease. It’s a very important distinction and why so many of us are doing everything not to catch it (or catch it again). #maskup 😷

Eyeing the #maxprofitness for at-home strength training. I have basically zero space for barbells, etc. Anyone else have it? Thoughts on concentric-only training? That’s my main holdup from getting it … #weighttraining maxprofitness.com?sscid=b1k8_n...

As H5N1 gathers steam, look to your COVID-conscious friends. We're tired and burned out but we want the best for all of us.

To everyone resting and icing after the big run this morning, congrats!!

Confirmed H5N1, same clade as the one affecting migratory birds. The child is hospitalized, in critical condition. It is still not known how they caught it. Layers of protection: clean the air, vaccinate, stay home when 🤒Smart masking with N95. #bcpoli t.co/Y7NxF3nevn

This! Please protect yourselves, friends. We’ve learned so much the past 5 years. Mask up! 😷 #covidisnotover

Latest hobby: #strengthtraining. My challenge: Space. I have dumbbells (up to 25 lbs and I can get a couple more heavier ones). I’d love a barbell, plates and a bench, but I’m flat out of space for something like that. I thought about going barbell/resistance bands hybrid …. (🧵/1)

Anyone else sensitive to the effects of #barometricpressure with chronic illness? A friend taught me to check it about a year ago and lowering pressure often = crashes for me, while rising = energy. I didn’t have these crashes before getting suspected #longcovid 3 years ago.

I always forget about this app. Thank you, @missa909.bsky.social for reminding me of it - I’ll make sure to start checking it more often!
