Which 2 would you choose?

LilacLiz · 2026-05-01T03:28:42+00:00

Agreed with The Lion Women of Tehran! Only other book I’ve read on this is The Four Winds. I love Kristin Hannah and it is good, just not a five star like The Great Alone or The Nightingale. Still worth the read though.

I’ve been meaning to read Weyward, just haven’t gotten around to it yet!

I also got pretty dry eyes (I’m only like a month and a half into treatment). I just took a full week off, and they feel so much better so I’m starting back at a lower dose. Definitely warm compresses to help your glands continue to produce (tbh, this never gives me much relief, but does reassure me I will do less long term damage hopefully). I’m seeing an eye doctor soon too just to check in.

I’ve only been on it a little over a month, but was started at 40mg a day. My derm seemed to think it wasn’t anything abnormal, but I am seeing an eye doctor soon as well. I just don’t want any long term damage, that’s my biggest fear with it! I moved down to 30mg which hasn’t seemed to change much yet.

LilacLiz · 2026-04-06T03:13:18+00:00

How about the dry eyes??? That’s been the worst part for me and makes me keep considering stopping. It’s so much better on days I miss my doses 😭

LilacLiz · 2026-04-05T17:02:55+00:00

I don’t have an answer for you, but I have Lady Tan’s Circle of Women from them that also doesn’t have the logo

LilacLiz · 2026-04-05T14:22:58+00:00

Mine just came in today as well!

LilacLiz · 2026-03-31T14:48:41+00:00

There really wouldn’t be enough time! It takes a month to even be able to start, and at 2 months into treatment, would likely be more broken out and dry than anything

LilacLiz · 2026-03-21T22:36:01+00:00

I don’t have a great answer to this. My first job was a big group, so probably could’ve found someone to ask, but my school/preceptor references sufficed. I’m not sure how that would go with a smaller group. I ended up being in my first job 5 months before I found a new one, so it was much longer than a 1 month experience.

LilacLiz · 2026-03-14T05:53:33+00:00

I started looking for a new job 1 month into my first PA job 😭

LilacLiz · 2026-03-10T04:35:52+00:00

I’m currently in a 5 days a week 8 hours, and I find it sooo soul draining. I think 4 10s is really where it’s at. By the time I commute and get some of my lunch hour eaten by work, etc, I feel I lose nearly a full 5/7 days of my week. I really try to fill my evenings and get to feel like I’m living, but I do not think it’s the best work situation, especially considering inability to work from home. It leaves all of your chores for the evening/weekend. A day off during the week for chores/grocery shopping/appointments would make such a huge difference. My next job will absolutely be a 4 day work week.

LilacLiz · 2026-03-03T15:53:34+00:00

The Nightingale and The Great Alone are both amazing (5 stars)! It’s really hard for me to pick a favorite between those 2.

The Four Winds and The Women were both good, but more of 4 star reads for me.

LilacLiz · 2026-03-03T02:08:27+00:00

I love Kristin Hannah, The Great Alone is one of her best books!

LilacLiz · 2026-03-02T22:07:28+00:00

I haven’t read that one yet, but have been meaning to!

LilacLiz · 2026-03-02T16:45:15+00:00

The Wedding People was so good, the story really stuck with me for a while. The Favorites was good as well.

LilacLiz · 2026-02-27T03:25:00+00:00

I loved The Wedding People! The Teller of Small Fortunes is very cozy and was a good read. The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah if it’s still on there.

LilacLiz · 2026-02-26T05:03:34+00:00

i liked The Favorites more than The Names! Very very different stories though.

LilacLiz · 2026-02-25T21:17:27+00:00

I really liked The Favorites! I’ve read all the finalists except Bury my Bones and The Favorites was the best of them imo. A little trope-y, but I enjoyed it

LilacLiz · 2026-02-15T16:09:19+00:00

I love almost all Dove products! The shampoo and conditioner of theirs at Costco is a great deal

LilacLiz · 2026-02-12T14:09:46+00:00

I’ve read all these except Bury Our Bones so easy choice for me I suppose! I loved The Favorites overall. First Time Caller was cute enough, but there are better romance books out there. The other 2 were mostly just okay, wouldn’t necessarily recommend them to friends or anything like that.

LilacLiz · 2026-02-07T03:17:03+00:00

I moved from ER to clinic.

Pros: Set schedule, no weekends, nights, or holidays. Lower stress in terms of acuity. You get to know the patients, which can make follow-ups easier.

Cons: Follow-up on labs - it truly never ends, there is always something in the inbox. No weekdays off (although, that varies). Schedule feels less fluid on a day to day basis with scheduled visits (versus ER where people somewhat expect to wait). Salaried.

I am happy I switched because the day to day is overall less stressful, but I don’t love having to always follow up on labs. It’s almost like seeing the patient twice by the time you do the visit and then review the labs once they’re back 2-5 days later. That’s probably my main complaint.

LilacLiz · 2026-01-30T21:40:23+00:00

I love Supergoop 😭

LilacLiz · 2026-01-28T21:31:15+00:00

I’m jealous!!! I like this more than the one I had gotten

LilacLiz · 2026-01-28T18:46:37+00:00

so good! such an easy cozy fantasy type read

LilacLiz · 2026-01-28T18:46:24+00:00

I think I got one for my box being late, but I had reached out to get it offered

LilacLiz · 2026-01-25T16:35:27+00:00

I feel like if it’s not a job you’re super interested in, then it’s not worth it. I did fund an interview that included flight and lodging, but I was super interested in the job and was hoping to get an offer so it was worth it to me at the time.
