My daughter and I participated in Garden Club to kick off the month and we have our second meeting today! It's an opportunity for her to be hands on with some fruits and veggies served in her cafeteria. We both had a blast and I love that I can help the school and community, but am not actually responsible to fully keep the garden going! hahah! (I have somewhat of a black thumb if left to my own devices.) During our initial planting session, we talked about different opportunities the garden will provide. Other kiddos can help harvest the crops. If there is a high yield, the entrepreneur club can sell the produce at our Friday Markets. I can't wait to go back today!

We have an EcoBee thermostat in our home and use schedules to set temperatures for when we're home / away / sleeping. Hopefully, the weather will start to feel more spring-like and we can have the windows open! In the wintertime, we tend to keep the house a little chillier than most (68), use blankets, and wear fuzzy slippers to keep extra cozy!

My Daughter, Rylee, got to bring her cheerleading uniform home from practice last night. The joy in her eyes when she looked in the mirror after trying it on is something I hope to never forget. Cross your fingers for her (and my husband and I)! She has her first competition this weekend! I'm grateful that we are able to provide this experience for her!

How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

My tracking will likely occur retroactively. Yesterday, it was rather chilly outside. I try to go on a lunchtime walk outside every day. I pivoted on Monday and meandered around the parking garage during lunch, still racking up some movement minutes and getting fresh air, but more sheltered from the elements!

  I’ve been indoors walking too. Hopefully we get some warmer weather coming up! But it’s great you won’t let the weather stop you and you’re moving during lunch!

Today I am grateful for my alarm clock. It was very tough peeling myself out of bed yesterday morning after a busy weekend of Pop Warner Football, household chores, and meal prepping. I am also grateful for easy comfort meals. I planned to make hamburger helper stroganoff last night for dinner and knowing it was super easy to throw together, I was able to take a little afternoon cat nap with my daughter once we all got home from work and school.

What are some ways water is used in your work area? How can you and your colleagues be more efficient with water use?

We've had a leaky faucet in our bathroom for some time, but it was a problem low on the totem pole. This challenge was a great reminder to take the couple of minutes out of my day to make sure it's taken care of. Our biggest use of water in the Surgical Pathology Lab is washing dishes. We can certainly be more cognizant and not run water while washing dishes. Unfortunately, occasionally our work requires us to rinse specimens, so we tend to use quite a bit.

Why do you donate blood?

- Exercise Lover 🤸
I donate blood because it's a quick and easy way to make a life saving impact for the patients of our institution. The perks of donating here are also quite the cherry on top; parking passes, lunch vouchers, movie tickets. Makes it hard to say no! I am scheduled to donate in the Middle of May and plan to donate all year long!

How could you encourage your coworkers to develop the habit of turning lights off?

- Exercise Lover 🤸
I will track this activity a little differently. I work 6am-2:30pm. Instead of dimming the lights when I leave for the day, I will dim them when I arrive until about 8am. I'm one of only a couple people in my area and none of us would mind some dimmer lights that early in the morning! haha!

  absolutely! Love walking into a low-stimulus environment in the AM. There's enough chaos in healthcare
