I got home from work sooooo exhausted, I couldn’t even be bothered enough to put a proper meal together. Sometimes mixing 4 different kinds of cereal/granola/trail mix just hits the spot. Simple, but stellar. Dinner doesn’t have to be gourmet to make my belly content. My first day back to work after my bike accident was a rough one. I got an easier patient load, but it was still hard at times. I ached. Lots. Even though I alternated between ice and heat packs, none of it really helped. Anyway. I’m hoping I can tough… Read more >

Oh night shift, how you disrupt my sleep cycle. How’s that for a cluttered night stand?! The ear plugs are the latest addition to help with my daytime snoozing sitch. Ugh. Again, I slept minimally after noche dos of nursing. Side note: I’m always hesitant to use that word when talking about night shift because I get weird google search terms…sorry to all the moms nursing their newborns all night long searching the internet for nursing related advice…only to click on my blog and not find anything helpful. My packed food was perfection. I’m… Read more >

The art of packing food is my specialty. Much like making my daily work eats (tutorials here), packing food for traveling is a bit of a craft. Some may find it easier to buy meals at the airport rather than go through the hassle of taking extra baggage through security. Personally, I’m not one of those people. I don’t care if it adds 25 pounds of dead weight that I have to schlep by plane, train, and automobile, for me it’s SO worth the energy. The cost to benefit analysis probably differs depending on your… Read more >

This week is nurses appreciation week (hooray!) but unfortunately the breakfast potluck party on my unit was the day I left for vacay. Had I not just finished night shift I may have stuck around, but I was so tired and ready to start my two weeks on holiday, I didn’t care too much about free bagels. As soon as I gave report to the day shift nurse I was mentally checked out. I may as well have been in Spain on Thursday. Sad face. Next year I’m going to bring yummy vegan food to… Read more >
