Man where to begin! Two new patients in my research study this week, enrolled the first one this morning with absolutely no hiccups, which is an astonishing first. I had a conference call today and had people with more than a few years of experience in my line of work asking me for advice on best practice for ensuring pill compliance and patient engagement, which felt really good. Not to get a big head about it, but my imposter syndrome is fading fast.

We had our first full Choir, full Orchestra rehearsal of the Messiah tonight with soloists. I'm feeling a lot more confident in the music AND I have it all on my tablet, which weighs less than my score! The future is weird. We have one more rehearsal on Friday night then the saturday evening and Sunday matinee shows. I can't remember being this enthusiastic about christmas music.

On the mental health front.... I need to meditate more. Breathe deeply more. Things are manageable, but not comfortably. I have to expend a non-negligible mental energy to keep myself pleasantly functional and it's definitely not sustainable. We'll see.
