16 Tue. Paper Books / 종이책 Back in my day, most information could only be found in paper books. That's why I still have a soft spot for them. Even after reading a book that I took out from the library, I might buy a copy to hold on to. I sometimes buy a book to begin with, if it seems worth having.

15 Mon. Scheduling a Health Exam / 건강 검진 예약 When the time approaches to schedule a health exam these days, I find myself in a dilemma.

5 Fri. Healthy Sleep / 건강한 수면으로 가는 길 I've recently started doing health-related work, and this has made me develop a keen interst in various health indicators.I've especially become interested in sleep.  Looking back, I wasn't getting quality sleep after I had my first child. I think a big reason for this was that my child hadn't become sleep independent yet.  I happened to monitor my sleep usin..
