I literally was craving brekkie foods all day…so why fight it. I had today off from work (finally), so I allowed myself to sleep in and it felt great!! Normally when I work, I have to wait to take my lunch break until my patients are stable, which sometimes isn’t until well after noon, so I end up going HOURS between my AM starbucks loading and my PM lunch (hence the need for my daily odwalla bars). Anyways, the point I am getting at, is that after working several days in a row, I miss… Read more >

I woke up to Kyle getting ready for work (he’s normally so quiet, but lately, not so much)…so (again) I embraced it and got the day under way. Unlike Kelly, I chose tv over napping 🙂 I went craaaazy with my coffee this morning, frothed vanilla silk and a stevia/cinnamon combo sprinkled on top. Um, this is my heaven. Brekkie: Fench toast with “egg” beaters and Alvarado street bread…with a lot of Earth Balance melted on top. Lunch: Sammie on Alvarado street bread with sabra hummus, greek yogurt, tofu AND smart deli “turkey” plus… Read more >

Today was a slowwwwww day, but it was a good one. Work was nice, some funny stories (maybe I’ll share one later), but altogether a mellow day. No complaints. I woke up at 4 am (a la Erin) completely on my own, alert and awake, so I embraced it! I’m sayin’ I obviously arrived at Starbeezies way early (like 6ish) so I enjoyed the AM crossword and my book (Me & Emma) – which is soooo good btw. Totally hooked. So, funny story: Sometimes we get ER patients in the middle of the night since… Read more >

Today was a totally snack-y day. I didn’t even really do meals, I was just grazing all day long. That’s the bad part about about having days off when the weather is only 15 degrees outside. I broke the fast with a HUGE glass of chocolate soymilk followed by a CHOCOLATE loaded coffee. This stuff is THICK and sooooo good. I am normally a silk soymilk girl, but this was on sale so I decided to give it a shot. Man, was I in heaven. It took all self control to not chug the entire… Read more >

White as far as the eye can see. I love that I work on the 10th floor, because the view is really pretty, especially on super snowy days! It was snowing all day, but I still managed to make it to the ‘bucks before work and on my lunch break. I was the only person on the unit today, so I had all the patients. Baller! No but for reals it was kinda crazy. One of my patients went into sinus tach and then desaturated to the 86% range even with 60% O2 face mask… Read more >
