This just keeps getting better and better… Turns out denying the electricians access to our apartment yesterday may have been a blessing in disguise. Now they can fix both the plumbing and the stove/oven “issues” at the same time while I vacate the apartment for greener pastures (by which, of course, I mean Starbucks). That’s the only positive thing I can say about being without water for the majority of the day. I woke up early to clean the apartment and make myself presentable, and at 8:45 on the dot the doorbell rang and next… Read more >

How I love thee, let me count the ways… 1. Prepared foods bar As you are about to see, I’ve been going through a few obsessions. Whole Foods makes it dangerously easy to slip into food ruts because each dish is better than the last and meals require no effort whatsoever (aside from determining if you want the Kirstie Alley size or the more moderate portion) because they are already prepared. Fumi Tofu Salad I was first introduced to this glorious dish back in my college days, when the Whole Foods opened in Westwood and… Read more >

I promised a giveaway, but I just don’t have it in me tonight. Blogger fail. I do have last night’s dinner, though. When I got home I was in such a wretched mood, I really wasn’t hungry. Sometimes my appetite shuts down shop when I get so worked up…it’s like I am so emotionally drained I can’t even think about anything, food included. I decided to shower, which really helped calm me down and by the time I was de-patient-ified, I was ready to make dinner. What do you do when you are worked up? … Read more >

What’s up buttercup? TGIF much? I did OT yesterday because my boss is putting full court press on my a$$. Working overtime can go one of two ways, and they happen to be polar opposites. Fortunately, picking up this extra shift did not backfire in my face. It’s amazing how much more enjoyable work is when the unit is adequately staffed and I can actually spend time with my patients without feeling like I’m hours behind in work (novel concept huh?). My boss is not the best when it comes to the business-minded side of… Read more >

Happy Earth Day fellow hippies! This is one of my favorite days, and in New York, the going green theme has been stretched out – lasting a whole week – so I’ve been enjoying it to the fullest. Last year on Earth Day I tried (unsuccessfully) to start a bike-to-work initiative at the hospital where I work. And this year I’m doing the same thing. Some may think it’s silly (given that I will only be an employee there for another two weeks), but I don’t care. We had a saying in my soccer days… Read more >
