chickpeas

B is for…

Blueberries?  Banana?  Bruno?  Blogging?  Take your pick. My java was full of frothy love – I hearted it (literally).  Even though I woke up at 7:30, I remained one with the sheets until 9, which meant that I was a hungry hungry hippie when I finally got up. Not the kind of breakfast I usually go for, but my tums was grrrrrowling, so I knew it needed to have some staying power.  This beautiful bowl included cinnamon-raisin-almond granola, fresh blueberries, and frozen banana slices.  I love the way milk coats frozen fruit and makes a… Read more >

Short and sweet

In the interest of…well…interest, this post is going to be super short.  Nothing remotely exciting happened today. 5 AM – I woke up to the annoying buzz, buzz, buzzzzzz of my alarm 7AM to 7 PM – Workface Please direct all questions about my lunch to your mom the comments section.  I doubt you’ll have any, it’s not like this was anything new… Oh wait, there was this: How’d that fatty sneak it’s way into my chickpeas????  The main thrill of the day was the medical staff appreciation mini-shindig thingy that the hospital hosted at… Read more >

All I want is peace(food)

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 >

Wacked out day

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 >

[Insert witty title here]

Yeah, creative juices are dried up for tonight.  It’s been a long day, so I’m not even going to bother.  You don’t care about the title anyways, right? Why does it seem like I’m 12 feet tall while taking this bird’s eye shot of my lunch?  Look at all the glorious food: Berries GoMega odwalla bar, Cashew Cookie Larabar, hummus, salad of raw-ness, dried papayas & mangoes, home made raw trail mix (carob chips, almonds, cashews, and raisins), and don’t forget the apple! The stars the the show weren’t too shy for a close up…. Read more >
