After working a few days in a row, I just wanted to sleep in ‘til noon today. Unfortunately, my circadian rhythm wasn’t in on the game plan. I was up and getting my caffeine on by 8. A few days ago, this lovely package arrived from NuNaturals, so I was thrilled to have a massive fake sugar free NuStevia filled cuppa-joe. As usual, I brewed and frothed… Then, I added 3 drops of Vanilla Stevia to the Caffe Froth, and 1 packet of NuStevia white powder to the coffee. Perfection. No bitter after-taste. Not too… Read more >

I worked both days this weekend. So on Saturday, while everyone else was frolicking in the sun, I was dealing with my patient who decided she was through with the hospital, and removed her own chest tube. Don’t worry, she’s fine (physically at least…psych-wise I’m still on the fence). Anyways. Yummy pre-packed food includes: raisin/almond/cashew/carob chip mix, dried mango/papaya, Tribe hummus mini-tub, apple, raw salad, and some bars. Odwalla Superfood (I heart every green millimeter of this flavor) and a Cashew Cookie Larabar (also a favorite). The rest of the day flew by uneventfully (just… Read more >

Today was more bizarre than George Whipple’s eyebrows. It started off normal – java with foam, you know… Then I had an apple. Still fairly normal, right? Well, suddenly I felt beyond sick. Like, go to the bathroom and wait for the puke to come. Wha?! I felt okay-ish if I remained supine (that’s lying flat for you non-medical peeps), but every time I tried to sit up, I felt like I was gonna heave-ho. No bueno. I’ve never felt so bizarre…like head-achy, dizzy, with some weakness, too. Even though I’m a nurse, I really… Read more >

Work day = Packed lunch. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who brings lunch to work. I don’t get it!? There are a few things that baffle me about this, the first being the price of buying food on a daily basis. Sure, I can understand a treat once in a while, but every day? That adds up! Second, I don’t understand how people can leave their house without any preparation should they get hungry. I know I have a job unlike most other people. I don’t have the luxury of choosing when… Read more >
