Like I mentioned in my last post, I was on night shift last night. It was a pretty crazy day all around. Usually Mondays are pretty chaotic in general because the hospital tends to come to a stand-still over the weekend. As a result, Mondays are full of catch-up tests and procedures and whatnot. This weekend was extraordinarily busy with the LA marathon…especially since the hospital I work at is located at mile marker 18. Given the extra admits (runners), the spillover lasted well into Monday, and so my shift last night was on the… Read more >

Happy (belated) St. Patrick’s Day! I seriously forgot to wear green – yikes! My grandpa would disown me if he knew such a thing! This is also the first St. Patty’s in a long time that I didn’t celebrate with green beer. I’ll try and make up for it this weekend. But more on those plans later. I definitely had a rough time waking up yesterday morning. It didn’t help that midnight came and went and I was still awake… My alarm buzzed me back to life at 4:20, at which point Jillian and I… Read more >

And all that mushy LOVE stuff. Right? 🙂 Truth be told, I’m pretty neutral on the whole Valentine’s thing…love it, hate it, love to hate it, whatever! I think it’s cliché either way you look at it. Side note: I used to think Valentine’s was so lame, so for the first two years that Kyle and I were dating I wouldn’t go out with him on the 14th because I just felt so hypocritical changing my tune once I had a BF. This year, I consciously requested the day off of work, but I still… Read more >

…and a dollar letter short. I’ll be back with the alphebruary eats later (g and h happened but my energy needs to be higher to share the deets). Work eats, however, don’t call for much brain power. I’m not saying they were mindlessly dull…but I kinda am ;) Kidding! [But they were VERY similar] I’ve been on a fruity tooty kick lately. Starting the day with water, Jillian, coffee, coffee, and fruit, fruit, fruit. Because it’s sunny and I’m downing fresh strawberries and blueberries constantly, I feel like next week should be the 4th of… Read more >

This weekend was not my finest in terms of scheduling. With back to back night shifts, day time yoga classes, and the desire to squeeze in a run when the sun came out from hiding, there was hardly any time for sleeping. Ambitious? Or ridiculous? Either way, I snacked much more than I composed real meals because my body was so out of whack with all the time adjustments. Awake all night, asleep all morning, awake all afternoon…sometimes it’s just too confusing for my poor GI system. I wound up finding a solution in… Read more >
