Real World Strength

Summary of what I've been up to lately:
- finished my orthopedic PT residency (and very nearly ate s**t while ascending the stage in front of my colleagues, program directors, and freaking CEO 🤦‍♂️)
- took the OCS exam...I mean, it FELT like I passed but we'll find out by the end of June when results come out 🤷‍♂️
- still walking on my hands (not pictured) and flinging 200 #+ overhead cuz you can have my old man strength when you pry it from my cold dead fingers 🤸‍♂️🏋‍♂️
- still in Charlotte, still working for Ivy in a great clinic with great peeps
- still have the most amazing wife & daughter I could possibly ask for 🥰 (daughter not pictured cuz she looks like a tiny person now instead of a baby and I ain't trying to have AI steal her face)
MASSIVE props and shoutout to said wifey for toughing it out with me for the past 14 months and taking on the lion's share of keeping our gremlin/bobcat (now upgraded to raccoon dressed as Elsa, Anna, or Mirabel) alive with minimal tantrums as the overwhelming majority of my free time was syphoned off for projects and studying. This would not have been possible without her diving into the trenches alongside me to make it happen.
And now I finally get to take a breath and remember what it's like to "have a life." 🥳

It being Mother's Day and all, I think it appropriate to give a shoutout to my own baby momma/wifey cuz she's pretty dope. I'm a lucky guy who picked THE perfect person to help me add to the population. Sure, our kid is super awesome and I'm sure that PART of that was just a good roll of the dice, but never half-asses anything and she sure as s**t whole-asses being a mom. Makes me fall in love with her a bit more all the time.
Anyway, back to my regularly scheduled nothing.
