I’m exhausted with a capital “E” after the last 3 days of work I’ve had. I shouldn’t complain since I had 4 days off in a row while my sister was visiting, but man was it difficult to go back to such a chaotic scene. Tuesday’s shift whizzed by so fast I was playing catch up for 12 hours straight (the unit was good busy, not shoot-myself-in-the-head busy), on Wednesday I cried (more on THAT later…), and Thursday I was called to the ICU to cover a patient who had taken a turn for the… Read more >

Sunday started much the same as Saturday, with the buzzzz of my alarm clock at 5 am. Boo :( At least I had all this deliciousness to look forward to… Dried fruit (figs, mangoes), real fruit (apple), bars (TJ’s Trek Mix, Jocolat’s newest flavor – more below on that), pistachio/almond/goji mix, sabra mini-tub of hummus, and a huge GREEN BEAST of a salad. Cruciferous much? Seriously, could there BE more green in this salad? On top of the bed of spinach and the broccoli slaw was even more broccoli. T’was perfection in the raw-est of… Read more >

I almost titled this post “my love affair with Dave,” but something tells me that if this were the one post title Kyle did choose to read, he wouldn’t be so amused. That said, I am, in fact, in love. Just say no to bread on drugs! Please take note of the seedy goodness. I took several glamour shots, so bear with me (and if you’re curious, yes, it tasted just as good, if not better, than it photographed). And just what do you suppose I chose to accompany this lovely carb? That, should be… Read more >

This is a mantra I rely on heavily at work…so you can imagine my excitement when I discovered they sold these historic posters (obviously I bought one). You can read about the history here, but basically, I use it to keep me from freaking out when patient’s are about to code, or I’m racing frantically to get them to a stable state, pushing IVs and slapping defib pads on the patient…you know…day to day things. I bought the large poster, and they sent along a mini-card too (above) which subsequently went in my wallet to… Read more >

And fruit. And cooking. And cooking delish vegan food for non-vegans. This weekend I was able to enjoy all of these things. So much to say! Let’s back up to when the fun began…Friday. I was craving fruit like nobody’s business. No really. I think I made my point, yes? Kiwis are so sexy! They are one of the prettiest fruits, I think. So after I digested my fruit baby 😉 Kyle and I packed our bags and peaced out. Greyhound tix in hand, we boarded the bus…Atlantic City baby!!! My enthusiasm lasted all of… Read more >
