What a weekend. It all started with a Friday wedding. Ok, actually it all started with a really awesome breakfast. Oats topped in a perfectly fried egg and avocado. Kyle came home from work early, so I got to eat lunch with him, which was a nice change in routine. I had Amy’s golden lentil soup. It was stellar! I have already gone to the store to get another can, that’s how much I loved it. I think this is now the best Amy’s soup I’ve ever tried. On the side I had carrots… Read more >

My mom got into town late Wednesday night, so on Thursday we spent the day shopping, lunching, and shopping some more. We have both been to True Food Kitchen before. I started with The Natural which is one of the most insanely non-alcoholic delicious beverages. Ever. It’s ginger, agave, and soda. Mmmm… My mom got a lemonade. For our mains, we each got our own salad and then split the TLT. I’ve gotten the kale salad (with my same tweaks – no parmesan, add baked tofu) every time I’ve gone to True… Read more >

Knowing my friends are frolicking in the sun while I’m begging patients to go on walks and administering suppositories…it’s tough. It doesn’t matter HOW much you love your job, when the weekend arrives and others are not working and you are, it’s just a bummer. Holiday weekends are especially difficult. My three day weekend was spent in the hospital. Wah wah. Ordinarily, I avoid 3-in-a-rows like I avoid C. diff, but knowing I was getting Memorial Day pay (time and a half) and the weekend differential made it sort-of okay. After all my income has… Read more >

Around 4 pm, I hit a wall. Kyle did too. One cup of coffee and one hour of sleep do not make a winning pair. Starbucks run! Kyle discovered his new favorite treat, a Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino (try saying that five times fast…or after certain red-eye conditions). We also got my mom a Coffee Frappuccino (her first one I think?). We are such enablers. It was Frappuccino happy hour though, so it was a decision made purely from an economical stand point. I [thought] I ordered a grande iced coffee with room for soy… Read more >

AKA Why I wasn’t at the BLEND retreat this year. It’s been 5 years since I graduated from nursing school. And 30 years since my dad graduated from medical school. And since we both went to school in Philadelphia… It meant a reunion trip was in order. I rarely mention my Philly days on the blog (not for any particular reason). But I enjoyed my time there and thus welcomed the trip back. Plus it’s always fun to see my parents. When I look back on it, the city of brotherly love is where I… Read more >
