So my latest hobby is going on long walks while listening to the Nerdist podcasts. I am in love with any guests that are funny, but bonus points go to people from The Office, Mad Men, or The League (aka the best shows on tv netflix). If they could get Tina Fey (and/or Alec Baldwin) on the show my life would be complete. I’m a nerd. In other news. I recently conducted my own almond milk-off between my all time fave Blue Diamond’s Almond Breeze and Silk’s (new) unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Silk previously… Read more >

It drizzled yesterday. Not very much though. No puddles to be seen. Rain in LA makes me laugh now that I’ve lived in NYC. Los Angeles shuts down at the mere mention of the dreadful “chance of showers” forecast. People literally don’t do anything when it’s wet out. I know because I used to be one of those people. I made my roommates drive me (the 1/2 mile walk) to campus in college. That is, if I decided to go to class. For a discussion section I’d probably brave the elements. But if I had… Read more >

February is my second favorite month (after October of course) because of it’s heart healthy theme. So happy February 1st! [and rabbit rabbit] Back before the blog, I started my mornings like this every single day. Me + coffee + crossword. All through undergrad and nursing school it was the only way I woke up. Once I moved to NYC and started working, the real world took over, and my AM “me” time somehow got sidelined. It’s a little sad. Well this morning was different and it made me happy. No tv. No computer. … Read more >

Each day when I get to work I am assigned a cell phone with my own extension (all the nurses and care partners are). I have the phone with me for all 12 hours of my shift. Everyone has my number. Everyone. Sometimes, it’s a bit much. Case in point… Radiology: Is patient X able to come down for his PA/LAT now? Does he need oxygen? Any isolation? Patient room: Can I get pain meds? Lab: Critical value for patient Y, their PTT is 121 [yikes!] Pharmacy: The medication order for patient Z needs clarification,… Read more >
