Ultimate Coffee Date: August 2026

Welcome to another Ultimate Coffee Date!  If all is going well, I should be in Mongolia camping, riding horses, and learning to do horseback archery! <3 (Here’s to hoping I’ll have a spot of reception to be able to link up…)

Ultimate Coffee Date: August 2026

Sushi is growing like a weed. I think he’s 8 lbs already and he’s only ~4.5 months old!?! It’s looking like he’s gonna be a ginormous boy!

If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…life has been super, super hectic over the past couple weeks. I decided to send out an email to all my adult patients earlier last month to let everyone know I’d be out of the office for 3 weeks, so to “speak now or hold your peace until I return” (if it’s a non-urgent issue). 
I’ve been fielding 50+ emails on the daily (to be fair, some ended up being leftovers from the day(s) before, but still) and packing in 20-25 (maxed out at 30 one day…) patients daily, so I’ve definitely been struggle-bus-ing.
To say that I’ve been looking forward to this vacation would be an understatement, but on the same vein, I’ve also been so busy that I feel woefully unprepared for this trip. (As I write this, it’s actually 3:51 am the morning before I fly out…)

Not all the emails have been all-work though! One of my patients wrote me a poem (inspired by my current travels) — it brought me great joy! 

If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I went to my first dance festival (for bachata/salsa!) last month and it was a lot of fun! So much to learn, so many workshops. I think I packed in 20 hours of dancing into 2.5 days, so my feet definitely hated me by the end of it. (Not as much as I thought they would though, but yay for super comfy dance shoes!) 

I managed to get this on the plane without being stopped!

If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I found an online video game orchestra that I’m hoping to do recordings for later on this year! :] (Getting to solo Clair Obscur last month made me really miss music and I’d love to have it be a part of my life again! <3)

  1. Okay, Sushi really is big!!! I’m trying to remember how much Sylvie weighed at that age… I know she was less than 5 pounds, because they wanted her to be 5 pounds before they gave her the rabies shot and we had to wait a little. He’s going to be a big boy!
    Enjoy your vacation! It sounds epic. And I love the poem your patient wrote!
