Murphy's Law in Opening

  "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong."

Murphy's Law- I am assuming it is like what they say at a wedding- the more horrible the wedding, the better the marriage. I am posting this on my personal blog because who would want to come see a doctor that is doing everything herself and she is not doing what she is not perfect with everything. Perfection has become an illusion for me. Somewhat of a mythical creature that you think you might have seen in the corner of your eye but really, it was a bear with a bird on top of it, picking at that one tick that it saw from afar to eat.

My journey starts in July when I realized I needed to get my own practice. It just hit me. In the middle of working at the office. I had two new patients waiting for me, I had a request for acupuncture, and I needed to adjust one more patient and take information for their re-examination. I had just taken my DOT examinations and I was ready to begin seeing patients and getting them on the road and on the path to health and freedom!
In August, I began my path of looking for places to rent. I wanted to buy a building as my husband and I have discussed in the past. With the extra money we had for the renovation of our home, there was no way we could float buying a building. I had some help from friends who were serious about me getting my own practice. I finally settled on one right near the downtown of our home. But, that wasn't until September.
I grabbed the keys the first week in September. Yes! It is all coming together. I slowly got bank accounts and EMR systems in order. By October, we replaced two of the rooms with floating floors and removed the carpet. I had a logo! The shop next to us opened and I gave him a very small gift congratulating him on his space. November came- there was a fire. Next door. We had smoke damage. I was working so much at the office in the city and at the side job that I could not get to the office. So, it got a little neglected. The insurance companies were fighting to pay out and not pay out next door- leaving the cleaning crew in and out and unsure when they will be out. They were there for a month. December came and the carpet needed to be replaced. We allowed it. No one told us when they were to be done. We did not walk into the office until after New Year. 
Back to decorating, we didn't have to pay for January rent due to not being able to come in. The website is complete- Oh no! Why is my home address on my business website? Why does it seem like a lot of weird strangers trying to "get into my DM's"  and tell me I am pretty and they are in love and I have no idea who they are? The website was remodeled, and now so is the logo so it can just now be added to the front of the clinic. WE OPEN TOMORROW!!! Oh well! * throws imaginary papers in the air* might as well just do what you can when you can.

The Great Conjunction- Function: What does it all mean?

Image
 If you are living under a rock or not into Google, you most likely did not see this picture:  So, if you did see this and think: how cute! Let me click on this. You already know. So, today is December 21st which is the winter solstice. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the astrological first day of winter is the longest night of the year. What you may not know is that two planets are aligned so it appears as if they are giving each other a "high-five". They call this a conjunction when planets are aligned. How cute, right? They have not been this close since 1663, so this is an epic event. So, you will be seeing something that Galileo saw when he devised telescopes. This event happens every 20 years but every 321 years or so where you can see it in great detail. Both of these planets are beautiful, not like Earth but beautiful. Now, if you are like me and live in an area of light pollution, most likely you will see a star and a planet. Here, in Chicago proper, ...

Where does the Time go?

Image
 I know where my time goes- into treating patients. I am loving this life of treating numerous and multiple patients. Maybe from the suppression of seeing accident and worker's comp patients.  That is really me treating- no Photostock/AI pictures! Side Note: This was created in February 2025. It was stopped and completed in April 2025.  With changes in the schedule, it has been difficult to maintain this blog. I am keeping current and will begin to have a schedule where I post once a month. Wish me luck!

Food, Air and Water Show and NAILS

Image
Today has looks very similar to yesterday- work out, eat when you can, read, clean, computer searches for jobs along with ideas and concepts. This morning I went for a run and it looked like rain so I shortened the run and went a little faster just because I did not want to be like the old guy in the tale "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and get struck by lightning. Hubby somewhat shocked me today because he asked about the Air and Water Show. I asked why and he thought it would be good for both of us to go either this year or next year. I have always hated the Air and Water Show because when I lived two blocks from the lakefront I could never nap or focus because of the noise of the planes. One thing about living in the city I do not like and that is all the noise pollution. I have pretty sensitive hearing so at times my hearing goes out for a day once it went out for three days and when I say goes out I mean it feels and sounds like someone put cotton in both my ears...
