Lessons

Here are just a few lessons I learned that were reinforced today. 1.  I crash and burn without my “me time” (aka days off).  Feel me K? I was in a beezy of a mood all day today (come to think of it, I’d say I’m going on day 3 now).  Even one of the male (read: unobservant) NPs on the floor noticed and asked me point blank what was wrong, and told me I seemed down.  Shoot.  So much for my poker face.  He then asked me if I was “chemical” which was so… Read more >

Zucchini pasta weekend

If I had to design a perfect birthday weekend, I definitely wouldn’t include two days of work.  Unfortunately, my boss didn’t agree.  I guess I can’t really complain about it though, since I just got back from a week vacay in CA.  I was totally prepared with a buncha pre-packed food. Fruit, of the dried persuasion, included mango and pear slices, as well as a strawberry chewy-thingy (Nike race freebie), while fresh fruit was limited to a smallish apple.  I also bar-ed it up with the Blueberry Crisp flavored Clif, and a Cashew Cookie Larabar. … Read more >

Little Miss Sunshine

Looks like I brought the sunny CA weather back East with me, huh?  Let’s hope it lasts. My camera died mid-lunch prep, so only 75% of my pre-packed eats are shown below. Ellie’s presents came in handy with my lunch prep.  First up, the Tokyo Seaweed Salad, which I chose because I had extra Arame seaweed to use from yesterday’s lunch. I mixed the rest of the arame (on the left) with half the Tokyo Seaweed salad and added it to a fistful of spinach.  I added raisins after the photo because it looked too… Read more >

Home sweet home

I am back in CA!  YEAH!!  But before I get to the fun I’m am having on the West Coast, I will quickly recap my few days leading up to coming here. I worked on Tuesday, so I made sure to get to bed early before midnight on Monday night (I don’t like yawning through codes thankyouverymuch).  So, as I was dozing off Monday night, my phone rang so loud and abruptly, I bolted upright nearly shocking myself into SVT (cardiac talk, no worries).  Who the eff would text me past midnight??  By now, my… Read more >

Sunday

Sunday morning started just like Saturday – I was off to work before the clock chimed 6.  My lunch was similar to Saturday’s too. Let’s see if you can identify the differences?  Kidding!  That’s way too much effort.  Instead, I’ll just tell you.  Same salad.  Different bars.  Today’s snacks included: Clif’s MoJo Dipped PB&J, Chocolate Coconut Chew Larabar, dried fruit (mango and pears), and fresh fruit (apple and pear). Sometimes I wake up with my stomach growling, but other days, I don’t actually get hungry for hours.  And weirder yet, sometimes I eat a meal… Read more >
