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. It’s hard to sleep when it’s light out and my body is all jacked up on caffeine. I realize a mega caffeine Starbucks order wasn’t the wisest choice after being awake for 24 consecutive… Read more >

Sunday’s commute back down the I-5 was, well, whatever. It’s done, so there’s not much to say about it. I had packed many food options for the road since I was convinced it was going to take us 8 hours. In the end, we arrived by 2 pm. I’m pretty sure I was meant to be a Brit because in my book, 2 pm is – without fail – afternoon tea time (not to be confused with high tea, which in fact is dinner-time tea). In any event, I had an almond milky Tazo chai tea… Read more >

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 >

Let’s not drag this out. All my work eats today were leftovers and there’s nothing interesting about that. Salad with oranges, granny apples, dried cranz I must be the only freak on the planet that likes soggy leftover salad, but I do! I simply added in a fistful of fresh spinach before adding in the leftovers to keep the greens from turning into a saturated mess. And for those who were wondering, the home-made vinaigrette dressing was a simple mix of EVOO, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, dijon mustard, sesame seeds, salt & pepper. Harvest… Read more >

I’m definitely in a big, huge, massive, obscene rut. There, I said it. Almost every single meal this week has involved nutbutter in some form. It all stemmed from this purchase. And the delivery of this package. Both have become absolutely essential parts of my diet, so much so that I’ve ended up creating the oddest food combinations, all in an effort to incorporate some form of nutbutter. For instance this sweet potato & apple dish dressed with peanut sauce. Peanut sauce you say? Yes, peanut sauce. All it is is peanut flour, almond milk… Read more >
