I woke up to Kyle getting ready for work (he’s normally so quiet, but lately, not so much)…so (again) I embraced it and got the day under way. Unlike Kelly, I chose tv over napping 🙂 I went craaaazy with my coffee this morning, frothed vanilla silk and a stevia/cinnamon combo sprinkled on top. Um, this is my heaven. Brekkie: Fench toast with “egg” beaters and Alvarado street bread…with a lot of Earth Balance melted on top. Lunch: Sammie on Alvarado street bread with sabra hummus, greek yogurt, tofu AND smart deli “turkey” plus… Read more >

Today was a slowwwwww day, but it was a good one. Work was nice, some funny stories (maybe I’ll share one later), but altogether a mellow day. No complaints. I woke up at 4 am (a la Erin) completely on my own, alert and awake, so I embraced it! I’m sayin’ I obviously arrived at Starbeezies way early (like 6ish) so I enjoyed the AM crossword and my book (Me & Emma) – which is soooo good btw. Totally hooked. So, funny story: Sometimes we get ER patients in the middle of the night since… Read more >

I really think the temp on unit today was almost in the 90’s. I don’t really know why…but everyone who came to our floor commented about the sauna-like environment so I KNOW it wasn’t just me. So, it’s safe to say I was sweating BULLETS all day long. Ok, but let’s get down to business with the grub… NEW kind of tofu!!! I baked TJs tofu yesterday for the weeks worth of lunches… While the kcals were a bit more than the Lite brand I usually get (Nasoya silken firm), it turned golden brown WAY… Read more >

Today was a totally snack-y day. I didn’t even really do meals, I was just grazing all day long. That’s the bad part about about having days off when the weather is only 15 degrees outside. I broke the fast with a HUGE glass of chocolate soymilk followed by a CHOCOLATE loaded coffee. This stuff is THICK and sooooo good. I am normally a silk soymilk girl, but this was on sale so I decided to give it a shot. Man, was I in heaven. It took all self control to not chug the entire… Read more >

White as far as the eye can see. I love that I work on the 10th floor, because the view is really pretty, especially on super snowy days! It was snowing all day, but I still managed to make it to the ‘bucks before work and on my lunch break. I was the only person on the unit today, so I had all the patients. Baller! No but for reals it was kinda crazy. One of my patients went into sinus tach and then desaturated to the 86% range even with 60% O2 face mask… Read more >
