Mused after reading that the median age of first-time grandparents is now 57. In 1960, it was 44 years old. Back then, many women had their first child in their early twenties. The average now is 28. The good news is that older grandparents may have more time and money to devote to their grandchildren. The downside is that they have fewer years to enjoy being a grandparent.

SUNDAY SCARIES, DO YOU DREAD MONDAYS?
Do you, your spouse, or your children start getting anxious on Sundays thinking about Monday? Sunday scaries is a new term in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. It refers to a wave of anticipatory anxiety, stress, or dread that hits on Sunday afternoons or evenings as the weekend ends and the school or work week approaches.
What Causes It
• Workload & Unfinished Tasks: Stress over a packed Monday schedule, looming deadlines, or uncompleted tasks left behind on Friday.
• Abrupt Transition: The sharp cognitive and physical shift from low-stress relaxation to high-demand responsibility.
• Modern Pressures: Constant digital connectivity, expectations to stay available via smartphones, and broader economic or workplace uncertainty.
Common Symptoms
• Racing thoughts or a looping worry about the upcoming week.
• Physical tension, such as a tight chest, a churning or upset stomach, and headaches.
• Restlessness, irritability, or trouble falling asleep on Sunday night.
(Did You Know? If these feelings escalate into severe distress, chronic insomnia, or anxiety that affects your daily life, exploring support options or speaking with a mental health professional can help.)
Ways to Cope
• Wrap Up Early: Finish key tasks or organize your desk on Friday afternoon to lighten the initial Monday load.
• Plan a Sunday Ritual: Create a calming routine like fresh sheets, a walk outside, reading, or gentle exercise.
• Look Forward to Something: Schedule a fun activity, a favorite meal, or a coffee meetup for Monday or Tuesday so the week doesn’t feel entirely task-driven.
• Shift Your Mindset: Reframe Sunday evening as a personal reset rather than the end of your freedom.
Personally, I like to focus on seeing my patients and staff Monday mornings. It’s a positive way of getting the week started.

What is Dermapen? What is RF Microneedling?
Collagen Induction Therapy stimulates collagen and factors in your skin to tighten, lift, lighten pigmentation, and rejuvenate your face, neck, and chest. We offer two devices for this: Dermapen and Endymed’s 3Deep RadioFrequency. After numbing your skin, both use small needles to stimulate collagen production and decrease pigment cells. Recovery is usually overnight. RF works deeper and uses radio-frequency waves to stimulate collagen further.
LA DOLCE VITA, JOIE DE VIVRE:
Quick and Easy Breakfast Hash
Watching the Food Channel gave me this inspiration recently to use what was in my fridge. It took my sous chef and me 20 minutes.
Heat a skillet with oil and put in shredded hash browns or any other frozen potatoes you have. Salt it. Push them down flat against the bottom or place another heavy pan on the potatoes (the surface contact will brown the potatoes better). In a second pan, brown chorizo or any other sausage. (I had leftover pulled chicken and added it.) Once the potatoes are browned, add diced onions (or in my case, pearl onions) and cook. While the onions are cooking, poach a couple of eggs by placing them in simmering water with a Tbsp of vinegar. Cook for 2-3 minutes depending on how runny you like them. Once the proteins are cooked, add them to the onions and potatoes and mix. Put on a plate and top with the poached eggs. You can put an egg on top of the hash while it’s in the pan, cover it, and cook it over a low heat. If ambitious, use a hollandaise sauce to cover, or we used sour cream mixed with a green salsa.
