Nurse 🩺 | Dog mom 🐶 | Trying to find balance
Healthcare worker by day, amateur baker and hiking enthusiast on my days off. I appreciate good friends, quiet mornings, and vacations that don’t involve checking my work schedule.

The two-minute floor version is what keeps me going: one quick stretch, a sip of water, or just noticing my breath between tasks. Https://parrotnotes.app/blog/nurse-self-care
