Dear Lollipop Lips,

Boy, I just have lots of new things to write about. Like how I woke up. Then went to work. Then did some work. Then came home... okay so there isn't much to write about. There was absolutely no patients this morning on sick call which turned out to be actually awesome and I got most of my pediatric letter done and started on my CE finally. I have the kids letters ready to go but the post office was closed when I got to it so tomorrow I'll drop them off. But because I have been staring at computer screens all day my head is pounding and am excited to close my eyes and drift away into candy land heaven (somehow that's a reference to your lollipop lips).

I did get my pedo memo almost finished, like stated, and the letters got close. Didn't work out today. Did read scriptures.

Starting today I think I'm going to text you my goals so I can a) be more accountable b) reference them through the day cuz I keep forgetting what they are.

Tomorrow's goals are...drum roll please: 1) wake up at 4 am and do PT 2) drop off my laundry (woot) 3) read my scriptures for 20 minutes 4) do > 40 questions on my CE course 5) workout hard

I think I'm learning that everybody needs a buddy. I have always been one to just do my thing. I have my own plan and my own agenda and want to get certain things done and accomplish certain goals and it makes it hard or I just find it inconvenient to try to incorporate other people into my time. But I think there is something to giving up part of my plans to include others. I think that just like going to the gym is necessary for physical health, hanging out is necessary for emotional health and we need to make time for all of it. Everything is connected and one is only as healthy as their weakest point. Normally, you are that for me, but you're not around. I feel I still get a lot from speaking on the phone and writing, but I think my emotional health needs more. I feel emotionally tired or out of shape so to speak, like I just don't want to talk to anyone more than necessary.

So add to my goals to interact with someone somehow out of the ordinary routine.

I'm excited for the kids to get their letter.

I'm glad you went to the temple today.

I'm grateful you can be with them and finding ways to love them more.

You're my tootsie pop (ha, I like the word tootsie)

Love,

Your Honey Bunches of Oats
