SUMMER 2023

 A Summer of Adjustments 

We have been away at school and enjoying our summer time! Here is a little recap of how our summer has been. I took a trip to visit Lexie in New York and began one of the toughest terms through nursing school. In July we celebrated the 4^th of July, but more importantly, we honored my grandmother, Filipinas Domingo. She would have celebrated her 87^th birthday this July 4^th. We miss her dearly, but her spirit lives on through my sweet, kind-loving aunt and my hard-working father. Lexie came home for a long visit over the school year summer break. We celebrated all three of our birthday’s – Addison’s, Lexie’s and mine. Mom and Dad took a trip back east to visit Addison in Florida and then went for a relaxing getaway with some of their best friends on the Lake in Tennessee. We’ve been to many baseball games and lots of time spent with friends. We hope you are all staying safe and enjoying the last few weeks of summer.

The Original Kebab 

 

A new Mediterranean spot in downtown Oceanside. The owner has been in business for 20 years and has recently relocated in Oceanside, CA from Germany. They were extremely welcoming and gave us all kinds of things to sample. They are a mom-and-pop shop, which we love to support. Try their wraps, they are amazing! Located in the perfect spot to take your meal with you to the beach, or to enjoy and grab some Handle’s ice cream next door after. 

 

 

Nursing Tip 

 

Many people do not realize all the things they put into their bodies. And many people do not know the side effects of these things. Most often people do not think to tell the doctors and nurses whether they are taking over-the-counter medications (ibuprofen, Tylenol, etc.) or daily supplements (ginger, calcium, etc.).  However, there is often side effects when mixing with prescription medications. Next visit to the doctor, bring a list of everything you take on a daily or weekly basis and they can help educate you! 

 

Workout of the Month 

 

Chipper Style! 

Starting with your longest effort keep chipping away repetitions. This one is sure to get you nice and sweaty. Keep a running clock and time how long it takes you to finish the full workout. You will complete a total of 10 rounds, however the repetitions of each exercise will get shorter as rounds go on making your way all the way to 1 rep per exercise. 

In round 1 you will complete 10 repetitions per exercise, in round 2 you will complete 9 reps of each exercise, in round 3 you will complete 8 reps of each exercise, etc. Work your way down until round number 10 you complete 1 repetition of each exercise.
