My sister is already back in Australia, but I still have to recap her visit to Davis last week. Because the pics are cute and because I am trying to be accountable. Remember? Oh, and because this happened. Yup. So let’s start at the beginning. I woke up, did the shred level 1 and made breakfast. Two slices of banana bread and a fried egg. While I ate, Kyle went to the MD. Since we moved I figured we should both get seen for a routine checkup (and meet) with our new… Read more >

“Home is where the heart is” Yup. It’s true. Lucky for me, I consider both the Bay Area AND Santa Monica “home.” So even though it was a total joy to spend the weekend with my parents and sister, I’m glad to be back with Kyle. Win win. Eventually I will recap the wedding in more detail (so fun!), but for now, I’m trying to get organized for work tomorrow (reality check…wah wah). I had leftovers from Patxi’s for Saturday brunch. I had baby carrots a la mode because I enjoy fiber. Even day… Read more >

I got to work the other day and my name wasn’t on the assignment sheet. Since I had worked the day before, I was sure I didn’t get my schedule wrong. Done that before. Then I saw my name way down at the bottom of the page… Elise – float SOU SOU? After asking a few different people I found out it stood for surgical observation unit (basically the PACU for more stable patients). Ok, I thought. Something new could be fun. But where is the SOU? Nobody had any idea! I finally found out… Read more >

I’m not an overly dramatic person (must be the residual effects of my tomboy youth…) but I have to say, the lack of candied ginger in ALL the local Whole Foods stores has me freaking out. I am officially out. Like Kyle’s chapstick stash, I had back-ups upon back-ups, but they are all depleted now. Yikes. Hoarding fail. It gets worse! The above photo is the last of my carob chip stash too. Folks, this is a state of national emergency. My pre-packed work eats will just have to do without my beloved ginge. … Read more >

This week is nurses appreciation week (hooray!) but unfortunately the breakfast potluck party on my unit was the day I left for vacay. Had I not just finished night shift I may have stuck around, but I was so tired and ready to start my two weeks on holiday, I didn’t care too much about free bagels. As soon as I gave report to the day shift nurse I was mentally checked out. I may as well have been in Spain on Thursday. Sad face. Next year I’m going to bring yummy vegan food to… Read more >
