Where have twenty years gone?? On June 19, 2000 I walked into the world of Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Pharmacy Department. I was truly excited to start a new adventure and leave my nearly ten years of long term care pharmacy behind. I was 30 years old and raring to go. Over the last two decades I’ve worked with so many incredible people. I’ve had the chance to learn so much and devote my time and energy into doing something I love which is unit dose packaging medications for the entire hospital. It’s a job I created out of necessity and one I’ve taken much pride in. As with all jobs there are good memories and bad but the good certainly outweigh those not-so-great moments. Year twenty definitely looks much different from year one but I am thankful for all the years in between and all the years to come. I am blessed to have a job I love and will continue to give it my all. Happy Anniversary to me! #thisistwenty #pharmacytechnician #hospitalpharmacytechnician #pharmacylife 🙌🏻🎉💊💉♥️ (at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBoN255FsXq/?igshid=mryhmeu6njfw

A nice surprise from Aicha and her sweet kiddos, Deen & Sofia. It’s been a very stressful Monday, so this was really the icing on the cookie. Feeling loved! #pharmacylife💊 #ididitallforthecookie #covid19 ♥️🦠🚰🧼💊🧻 (at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-qTQKCl4cg/?igshid=15hd2n823iot3

I went to visit the “Nana Tree” today just because you’ve been on my mind so much this week. Wouldn’t you know as I was driving away your favorite secular song (Life Is A Highway by Tom Cochrane) came on the radio an I just felt like it was hug from above. I love and miss you, Aunt B. ♥️✨ (at Tekesta Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B66E_aZlbBj/?igshid=ml1pulkyjuf8

A fun & festive day with the girls making gingerbread men for the first time. It doesn’t matter what we are doing there is always laughter, music, and even more laughter. Today it was all about an Addie selected Christmas movie “Noelle”, Chinese take-out, baking cookies & decorating them and just enjoying our time together. Mission accomplished!! Love these ladies so much!! #holidaybaking #frousins #lomein #creamcheesewontons #kitchendanceparty #gingerbread #snowflakecrunchcoffee 🥟🥡☕️🎄☃️♥️ (at Tallahassee, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6WtzcCl-dE/?igshid=1ng2ejp4auddb

I know this happened last night but this is, by far, my favorite daylight savings time reminder ever!! Thank you, The Black Keys, for your wit, your freaking amazing music and all that other good stuff yet to come!! #danauerbach #patrickcarney (at Tallahassee, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4acJFYlYHb/?igshid=pbq94hf1aeq4

These three songs “Year of the Cat,” “All By Myself” & “One” are all the makings for a crazy cat lady scenario. I understand this because I am one. These three songs, however, played a huge part in my development of panic disorder in 1990. I heard these songs no less than 5 times each per work day at Eckerds where I had my first panic attack. All three of these came on today and the memories came flooding back. They are cringe inducing songs that I once loved but can no longer listen to. Thank God for modern and other great music out there that helps me remain panic free. #panicdisorder #ericcarmen #threedognight #alstewart #eckerdradio #pharmacytechlife #crazycatladyforlife (at Tallahassee, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4X7Eq5ls9W/?igshid=1843v8lzqlj5r

Finally able to use my awesome birthday gift from my cousin Courtney!! It’s only been two weeks. 🙄 I made this month’s Driftaway “bold” selection and it is phenomenal!! I love all the different ways I can brew coffee. This #chemex is so fun to use. It’s take a little longer but it is so worth the wait. Freshly ground beans, boiling water & a little patience goes a long way to a fantastic cup of coffee! I’m in love!! #thisis50 #coffeesnob #chemexlove #howdoyoubrew #driftawaycoffee #coffeeoftheday #coffeeofinstagram #birthdaylove #mycousinsrock #frousins #coffeelover #nomnom #readyformysecondcup #coffeeislove #instacoffee #toomanyhashtags 😂😊☕️💜 (at Tallahassee, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4SiwZxlmPa/?igshid=5pz4idwud1ra

This is still one of my most cherished photos ever. October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month and losing this beautiful boy, Gray Isenhour Tobin, was and still is one of the hardest losses I’ve ever experienced. He was my Courtney’s youngest son who lived 247 days on this earth. In this photo I had the privilege of holding him for hours on end. He was such a snuggler. He’s less than a month old here. I miss him so much. If you know someone who has lost a child in some way, shape or form, please remember to always be kind. If you are uncomfortable saying anything, just don’t. You can stand with them in support and be just as effective. Children are a blessing from God and I am so thankful for the days, hours, minutes & seconds I got to hold and talk to Gray. What a true honor. I learned so much after he passed away. I learned that listening is even more valuable & powerful than talking. I learned that parents and family don’t just get over a loss this great. They never will. Imagine losing a limb. Will you just forget you ever had it? No you won’t, but you’ll learn to navigate your daily life in a much different way. You will always remember. Grieving parents are exactly the same. They don’t always show their grief but it’s there under the surface as a reminder of what was. Be kind always. I love you, Gray. 💙 (📷: Courtney Tobin) #infantloss #October #saytheirname #GrayIsenhourTobin #beauitfulboy #pregnancyandinfantlossawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/B3aBR1VFObL/?igshid=1gyxsmbcvkjn6

One of the other reason I am loving @driftawaycoffee is this post card that comes with each bag. It tells you all about the coffee you’re drinking as well as the farm from which it came. It connects you to the coffee, the roaster and the country. #coffeenerd #coffeesnob #internationalcoffee #Guatemala #Thursday #happinessinacup https://www.instagram.com/p/B24haHsl-hF/?igshid=pqvkjj2pouo9

This kid! I remember the night you were born. I remember how excited I was to become an aunt. When you came into my life I couldn’t help but think to the future and dream about the times we’d get to hang out together and just be cool with each other. Whether going to the trampoline park, to Starbucks, or whatever, you make me so happy and proud. You’re crazy like your dad and I, you’re sweet when you wanna be 😉, you’re a brat when you wanna be, but more than anything you’re an amazing kid and I love you no matter what! Happy 15th Birthday, Zac! 🎉🎂👾🎮🎈🎁👍🏻🥳 https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ro56CFW1r/?igshid=17q3qa1rn5d2t
