Well, that whole 405 “carmaggedon” thing turned out to be quite a bust. After hearing months and months of hype, I think everyone was expecting the worst…which caused people to take extraordinary measures (like riding your bike to work and then spending the weekend sleeping over at your cousin’s house). I had it better than many of my coworkers, who were put up in dorm rooms. But I wish I had just ignored all the hoopla and slept in my own bed, down my normal AM workout routine, and driven to work. Like every other… Read more >

Some peeps who follow me on twitter know that my weekend was full of wedding festivities. It was so fun to get away for a few days and celebrate the marriage of close friends. Last August, David was one of Kyle’s groomsmen…and this time around Kyle was in David’s wedding party. Backing up to Thursday real quick. This was mostly a day of recovery for me. My neck and back were still achy, so shopping and packing were my “exercise” for the day. The reason the bed is a mess is because I freaked… Read more >

So here’s the sitch. Did I mention I have a triathlon in under 30 days. Problem? Yes. It gets worse. I got in an accident yesterday while riding my bike, which I was in denial about until I went to work today…and wound up in the ER half way through my shift. I feel like I got hit by a bus. I am so so sore. It’s unbelievable. I have less than 50% range of motion in my neck and my tailbone is badly bruised. I basically feel stiff all over. Anyway. I don’t… Read more >

Elise 1. Night shift 1. Monday’s night shift was fine. But last night’s had a few hiccups. It started off well enough (same patients, same routine) but after my lunch sleeping break at 3 am, I got busy. Downside: One of my patients decided to stop breathing (which is never good). Upside: The hours between 3 and 6 am FLEW by. Leading up to work I had a nice day. After biking back from work, I showered and crawled into bed, where I promptly dozed off for a solid four hours. When I woke… Read more >

The above line is from a poem written by my adorable husband. I may have to show it to you later. :) Since I am on night shift this week, I slept in ‘til noon, enjoyed a late breakfaat, and watched tv until 5:00 rolled around. Part one of my breakfast brunch was a nectarine. It was another watery not-so-sweet piece of fruit. Dude. I am so bummed about these lame nectarines. From now on I’m buying stone fruit at the farmer’s market ONLY. The second part of meal number one was coconut oats topped… Read more >
