MERRY X-MAS EVE!!!!!!!!! As of this morning, today was looking like a near disaster…but wouldn’t you know it, the day quickly turned absolutely AMAZING! Somehow I managed to hit snooze without realizing it, so when I looked at the clock and it said 6:33 am, I FREAKED out! My shift starts at 7. That’s kinda a problem. I called the unit to give them a heads up that I was running a bit late (understatement much?) and then hauled ass to get my butt on the subway. I was trying not to stress, since there… Read more >

Woke up at 5 am to a tummy ache š Not an ideal start to the day, but off to work I went…I didn’t really want coffee (that’s never a good sign). I got a big smartwater on my subway commute and felt a bit better after I pounded that. It was quite a back and forth work day, but it ultimately ended well. The meals started in a similar pattern, but then took a turn for the worse. For some unknown reason, whenever I work on Fridays, I seem to think I deserve to… Read more >

Yep, I have gone through 3 boxes of tissue in the last week…and my nose has paid the price. It’s red and raw and hurts! I’m still blowing my nose around the clock, too…when is this cold going to go away??? When I go outside it’s, like, 800 times worse, too! Frozen and chafed = bad bad combo. So I woke up this morning because I was unable to breathe out of my nose (again) so I immediately opted for some tea. I even held it right under my nose to let the steam’s vapor-like… Read more >

So basically today was the same as yesterday. Same mixed feelings regarding working on the weekend. Same Bruno’s coffee to get me moving at the crack of dawn. Same-ish sandwich at lunch (since the A street bread was finished I used some of K’s regular whole wheat). I had the Berries GoMega odwalla bar around 11, along with several glasses of apple juice…and got around to my lunch break a few hours later. Since it was snowing outside, I wrapped myself from head to toe with layer upon layer and sprinted to Bruno’s. Of course… Read more >

Saturday. The rest of the normal working world is sleeping through the morning and enjoying staying inside on this freezing weekend day…but not me. I got up earlier than normal since the weekend subway runs local, so it takes me a longer than usual to get to the lower east side. I stopped at Bruno’s for my AM coffee and then the day began…and flew by. I really wasn’t looking forward to working the weekend, but as it turns out, it was a great day! I got my same patients back, which is always nice… Read more >
