A lot of shit has happened over the past 30 days. I’ve been busy with work, completed ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) training finally, was invited to be a bridesmaid to my friend’s destination wedding next year (eep!), and I got Covid a second time, which basically depleted the rest of the PTO that was…
