This weekend was a (partial) work weekend. And it was INSANELY hot. Fall is nowhere in sight and while I usually love 90 degree temps, my hormones are not on the same page. At all. Our AC isn’t doing much of anything and so Kyle and I spent a large part of the weekend bitching about how uncomfortable and sweaty we were. So productive. Anyway. I did take pics of parts of the weekend, so I’ll share. Friday morning I had oatmeal with apples and almond butter. Even though it was hot, it was the… Read more >

Sometimes when I work night shifts, I forget to make dinner for Kyle. I usually realize it around 5 pm – right about the time I should be packing up my stuff and heading to the hospital. This isn’t a tragedy by any means, he’s a great cook, and could certainly make a good meal for himself. But I like making things easy for him when he gets home from a long work day (and hideous commute). Plus, it makes me happy (and I know he loves it). Doesn’t this look gourmet? I’m sure… Read more >

After a really exhausting day, we were all ready for an early dinner. I’m talking 5 pm early. And so we made our way to Founding Farmers. This place was recommended to me by a few different people, so I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I had a less than great interaction with the staff when I called ahead inquiring about the ability to accommodate our party of five (including one person in a wheelchair). Not only did they tell me they don’t take reservations (which I later found out was false –… 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 >

This past weekend was faaaaantastic. On Friday I luxxe-ed it up with my bestie, Jess, visiting from NYC. I adore Caffe Luxxe, and Jess and I have identical tastes in everything (with the most important relevant being food), so obviously I had to share the pretty soy latte art with her. This is hers before she ruined it. And here she is while ruining it. 😉 Love this girl. I got a cafe au lait with soy milk, which I messed up very slightly by adding two packets of raw sugar (still going strong with… Read more >
