Oh my!? It’s been a sweet sweet weekend so far in Hippie-land. I’ll spare my male readers from any gory PMS details, but I think it’s pretty clear that my body’s chocolate cravings are well founded [as if you ever need an excuse to stuff your face with sweets!?]. My vampire schedule came to an end this week, and luckily enough, I slept like a baby through Thursday night. It felt awesome. And when I say that I slept like a baby, what I mean is I slept like a comatose patient, because my blackberry… Read more >

I am ALL out of sorts. Yesterday (?) I went to bed around noon thinking I’d sleep til 5 and then get ready to head back in to work. How’d that work out?? Yeah. Not so much. I ended up watching the latest episode of Glee (check out the creepy scene I paused it on) after tossing and turning in bed.

Take care of yourself. You can’t take care of patients if you’re sick, so neglecting your own health is as good as bailing on your patients. You know…that whole apply your own oxygen mask first analogy… That’s what we learned in nursing school. But I have to be honest; I don’t know many nurses who follow that advice. And today, I fell victim as a result. Nursing fail. It all started with a crappy night’s sleep. I woke up 4 times drenched in sweat. Those were the first red flags. Ignored. I still got up… Read more >

I’ve been busy busy busy working this week…and even though I haven’t exercised for even half a second (blah), it’s all worth it because I get to spend the weekend with some fantastic friends. My packed lunches have been incredible if I do say so myself. Satisfying my every want and need – sweet, savory, crunchy, creamy – you name it, I packed it. It’s all about options people. The main ingredients in these Heart Thrive cookies were oats, brown rice syrup, brown rice flour, rice bran, natural fruit juices, and lots of dried fruit… Read more >
