Pensively wonders if I’ll regain feeling in my frozen ass any time soon. Similarly wonders if the groundhog lied about his shadow. Nonetheless, these slowzy goezy miles felt pretty decent. Maybe this is the week I get my shit together on this whole running thing 🤷🏼‍♀️. .

I take snacking *almost* as seriously as I take my job, which I think you all know by now, I take REALLY seriously #ad. Twelve hour shifts with no breaks require careful snack planning to prevent Hangry Pharmacist Syndrome (HPS - a real thing), and that’s why I’m digging @epicbar from @krogerco. The Chicken Sriracha is my savory go-to for packing a protein punch. The ingredients are ON POINT, with no unrecognizable additives or flavors. I’m talking chicken and spices, y’all, that’s it. In a world full of sweet and sugary protein bars, it’s nice to have this spicy change of pace from Epic because nobody likes a Hangry pharmacist.

I missed #oisellewednesday yesterday but I need you guys to stop everything and go check out the sale at @oiselle right now. One of my favorite tops EVER is on sale for almost $30 off the regular price. This Wazzie Wool Jacquard Mile One Pullover is what cozy winter dreams are made of. And I’m going to be perfectly honest, I’ve never worn it to run. I wear it when I’m trying to dress like a classy human being that knows how to wear clothes other than scrubs and running clothes. It works, because my kids asked me why I was dressed so fancy when they saw me in it. I’m wearing a size small and it fits like perfection. Happy Wazzietine’s Day to YOU! ❤️

Pink on pink is a vibe, and I’m here for it. I wish I could say the run had the same vibe, but 🙅🏼‍♀️. It was just one of those days, ya know? But the #flystyle...🙋🏼‍♀️. .

Sometimes a hot dog just feels right. Some people call it balance, some people call it progress not perfection. I call it, Mommy had a tough day and wants a damn hot dog. ✌🏼(at least it’s kosher)

☕️COFFEE TALK☕️
Have you ever had a coffee date that turned into a therapy session? The awesome thing about making new friends as adults is that there is SOOOOO much to learn about each other. @dr_runs_a_lot and I have been friends for a long time now but there are so many big life events that we didn’t experience together. Last week on a coffee date, I shared about my pregnancy and how stressful it was. The next thing I know, I’m realizing that my fear and anxiety around going to the gynecologist is possibly a minor form of PTSD that I’ve never explored. Nothing about my pregnancy was easy, except the getting pregnant part. From the appointment finding out I was having twins to each subsequent appointment, I was terrified. Apparently you just don’t have a baby, there are risks and complications 🤷🏼‍♀️. Thank G-d, we ended up with 2 healthy baby girls, but it was a bumpy and scary ride. And I now realize that not having that calm and peaceful pregnancy has caused me to fear what could just be a normal checkup. I never would have realized this without having a friend to share my life with. So this winding post leads me to 3 points:
1️⃣adult friends are truly a gift.
2️⃣coffee dates = free therapy
3️⃣I need to accept my anxiety and make an appointment with the gyno (and maybe a therapist to address my issues). .

💊ASK THE PHARMACIST💊

I asked you guys what questions you’d like answered by your local Insta-pharmacist (ME!), and you delivered. Keep the questions coming! Today I’m answering a more personal question: “How did you know pharmacy was the profession for you?” Well, like most college graduates, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life post-biology degree from @utknoxville. I started college Pre-Vet, turned Pre-Med, and briefly considered graduate school for microbiology. Clearly I knew I wanted to do something in the medical field, just what exactly, I had no clue. So with help from my parents knowing the right people, I landed a research gig in the infectious disease department at @stjude. I messed around with vaccine research for a couple of years before realizing research is NOT for me. I’m a people person and I LOVED hanging out in the hospital part of St. Jude, but the lab was just kind of torture for me.
Luckily, Josh’s best friend was in pharmacy school at this time and he was always studying at our apartment. I thought the science behind how drugs worked in the human body was fascinating, but then when I learned exactly WHAT pharmacists do, ie. WE DON’T COUNT PILLS, I was ready to give it a go. I started studying for the PCAT like it was second job, DEMOLISHED it, applied to @uthscpharmacy, interviewed, and got admitted.
For FOUR years I busted my butt to learn everything I could about being the best pharmacist I could be: pharmacology, therapeutics, pharmacokinetics, law, nutrition, toxicology, complementary and alternative medicine...you name it, I absorbed it. But it was that final year of rotations that solidified my love for this profession. I was *this* close to doing a residency so that I could eventually spend my days and nights in the trauma unit, but my passion ultimately found me in the community. I love helping people lead healthier lives. I love being the healthcare professional my patients seek advice from first. I am accessible and I truly love helping people (cliche I know). I am a Doctor of Pharmacy and I ❤️ it. .

Dreamy side eye smiles because I can. And because the Ron Burgundy podcast is everything I hoped it would be and more. Highly recommend it for a laugh inducing easy run. Do not recommend for speed work unless you like choking while running. .

Today ranks as one of the best days ever. @dr_runs_a_lot and I were both able to snag a sold out @oiselle tank that we were DYING for. We shared a lovely 5 mile run and a spectacularly long coffee date that involved @ragnarrelay planning. I got to hang with my husband a bit and I ate my favorite burger for dinner. My kids let me pick them up and pretend they were babies and my dogs let me obsess over them. Yeah, today was a good day 🙌🏻. .
