The days of froth have returned. The holidays are all about decadence right? My morning cups of coffee have been quite elaborate as of late. I think the cold weather brings it out. This one was less than 50% coffee. The rest was cocoa powder, stevia, coconut milk “creamer” froth, and a partridge in a pear tree candy cane. YUM-AY I also had a cup of Chai tea. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m obsessed with Chai tea lately. It probably has more to do with the way it warms me up than anything else… Read more >

Working on the holidays isn’t my favorite thing to do, but I realize there are worse things (like being a patient). So I tried to make the most of it, and celebrated regardless. I was working with my fave co-RNs, too, which helped make the day fun, rather than depressing. Last night, in an effort to get to bed on time, I threw this lunch together way too fast. I’d like to blame the lack of groceries on my desire to save $$ and use up what’s currently in the deepest depths of the pantry,… Read more >

Merry Christmas everyone!! Unfortunately, I worked today (Christmas day), but yesterday (Christmas eve) was fun for several reasons. 1. I got the day off of work (although I still had to wake up at 5 am to make sure nobody called in sick…kinda like being an on-call RN). 2. I had a great brekkie. 2. I talked to Kyle on the phone while opening my present from him. The Hungry Hungry Hippie Chronicles, Vol. I Sooooo cool!!! Every post from 2008 and some from 2009…all bound in a beautiful book. Thanks K love 🙂 3. … Read more >

Doing three (12 hour) shifts in a row is my least fave thing to do. I avoid it like the plague swine flu. However, my parents are coming into town today (yipeeeeee!!!), so I had to get all my work out of the way so I could have the weekend off :) It was an especially rough stretch because I only had one day off between my last weekend of chaos and this 72 hour stint. No matter. Ready for all my work lunches: Tuesday Salad, bars, Whole Foods’ spelt pretz, carrots, apples, and tea… Read more >

All I wanted to do on Monday was sleep in. After my weekend of working (mixed with boozing at the office holiday party), I needed rest more than anything in the world (including hummus). And yet, I still woke up at 8 am. Oh well, I’ll take all I can get. I broke the fast with my latest obsession (cocoa coffee) and an apple and then got productive. Laundry done before 10 is impressive for a day off…and that’s not all! I did a few more Q&As, too. Why did you choose nursing? How did… Read more >
