If you follow my tweets you probably saw that I decided to do a little overtime the other day… If you know my normal work hours (7 am – 7 pm) you may be wondering if I am an overachiever crazy… (Yes, is the short answer) But because two night nurses called in sick, there were minimal options, and ultimately I decided to stay at the hospital until midnight (when a replacement could arrive). Class, pull out your calculators. If you don’t have a calculator I’ll help you out, that makes 17 hours of fun… Read more >

Packed eats… You know the drill: Strawberry Pomegranate Odwalla bar, Apricot Clif bar, Stretch Island Fruit Co. strawberry fruit leather, gala apple x2, the most massive salad I have ever made, random wheat roll (stolen from el hospital) and a steamed brocc/cauli side salad. After I photographed the above pic, I decided to add some raisins to the salad. The ingredients read longer than Heidi’s latest plastic surgery bill: spinach steamed kale steamed coleslaw mix steamed broccoli steamed cauliflower steamed carrots steamed asparagus raw red bell peppers raisins I was definitely feeling the less… Read more >

Isn’t it AMAZE how much better 40 degree weather is than 20!?! (200% better to be exact) I have been so happy with this weeks “heat” wave, yesterday I almost felt like running through the streets naked…well, maybe that’s a bit extreme, but I was pleased to say the least. What’s even crazier was the fact that the heaters in my patients’ rooms were cranked up so high that they all had their windows open…and it actually felt nice to have a chilly breeze. What is this? I’m too young for hot flashes, and it’s… Read more >

Ok, I’m about to get personal…if you don’t wanna hear it, skip ahead. Today, for the second time in 3 days (aka since I’ve been back in NYC), I’ve broken down and cried my eyes out. I’ve tried to ignore it – tried to pretend it’s just homesickness, or the weather, or hormones, or some combination of all these things…whatever. The fact is: I’m sick of being miserable and pretending I’m not. Unfortunately, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I am usually pretty good at identifying the issue and working past it, but I… Read more >

I woke up at 10 today. Wow. Haven’t done that in a while. I wanted to sleep in so badly though, so I will consider it a success. I passed the AM with a lot of drinks. Mocha. Tea. Pee. Pee. Pee. “Empty yourself and let the universe fill you.” Check 😉 For those who asked, here’s the recipe for the “cheeze” sauce I made yesterday: 12 oz. silken tofu (the entire box) 2 tbsp nutritional yeast unmeasured amounts of salt 1 tsp miso paste dash of paprika Try it! So good. Anyways, I had… Read more >
