The Joys of Nursing

All I wanted to do on Monday was sleep in.  After my weekend of working (mixed with boozing at the office holiday party), I needed rest more than anything in the world (including hummus).  And yet, I still woke up at 8 am.  Oh well, I’ll take all I can get. I broke the fast with my latest obsession (cocoa coffee) and an apple and then got productive.  Laundry done before 10 is impressive for a day off…and that’s not all!  I did a few more Q&As, too. Why did you choose nursing?  How did… Read more >

Flashback (to) Friday

Please disregard how delayed my posting is…as this post is clearly from last Friday.  What can I say, this weekend was a crazy one! Festival ‘o Lights started today…oh the things I know from living in NYC working in a Jewish Hospital.  Why are there so many ways to spell Hanukkah?  Very confusing religion.  Shocker of all shockers.  I passed up my usual dose of caffeine this morning and instead opted for a huge cuppa cocoa.  I’m getting to be a bit obsessed with this beverage.  I’m not sure if it’s because Christmas time and… Read more >

A day of flying

Flying from Bellingham to Seattle to SFO to JFK required some SERIOUS eats.  Fortunately I had vegan options up the yin yang gracias a Mr. and Mrs. Kyle. 8 am – medjools   9 am – board flight #1 10 am – land in seattle 10:30 am – set up shop in starbucks (implied caffeination x2) 11 am – open “family size” bag of Glutino pretzels 11 – 12 pm – lose track of time AND number of pretzels consumed thanks to the hottness that is Puck [swoon] 12:30 pm – mad dash to board… Read more >

91 Thanksgiving posts

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! Quite frankly, I delayed writing this post because I felt like everyone else’s thanksgiving eats were way more blog-worthy (and there were a LOT of them).  Plus, I didn’t get home from work until after 8 pm and all I wanted to do at that point was put on my PJs, watch football (slash Home Alone), and stuff my face (not in that order).  On a holiday such as this, it would feel weird to eat before giving thanks, and so I feel as though I should acknowledge what I’m grateful for… Read more >

A full lunch hour

This morning’s subway commute was eerily empty.  It always creeps me out a bit when there is nobody else in the car with me.  But then, I guess it’s better than being packed in the train like a can of sardines… Munchables for the day: Apple, dried papaya/pears, 365 spelt pretzels, PB&J dipped MoJo bar, Honey Graham Z bar, and un ensalada enorme. Work was nice and slow.  Happiness!  I love it when I get a full hour lunch break.  I enjoyed each and every bite of my packed eats. I even got off work… Read more >
