Professional consultation vibes

Michelle showed up thirty minutes after my shift ended, took one look at me still in scrubs, and declared we were doing an apartment session instead of the gym. Smart woman.

Professional consultation vibes

Turns out discussing training modifications while sitting cross-legged on a yoga mat hits different than the usual gym consultation setup. Michelle’s explaining why my current routine isn’t accounting for twelve-hour shifts on my feet, and I’m realizing I’ve been approaching this all wrong. She’s gesturing with the kind of authority that makes you want to immediately drop and give her twenty.

Then she starts demonstrating proper lunge form in my living room, and I’m trying to focus on her technique instead of the fact that she makes athletic wear look like a fashion statement. Jake’s been suspiciously present with his camera, which means these “candid” consultation moments are about to become evidence of my complete inability to maintain professional composure around impressive women.

The plan: modified schedule that actually works with nursing life instead of against it. The reality: I’m probably going to spend tomorrow’s shift thinking about proper hip alignment instead of patient charts.
