yesterday repeat

So basically today was the same as yesterday. Same mixed feelings regarding working on the weekend. Same Bruno’s coffee to get me moving at the crack of dawn. Same-ish sandwich at lunch (since the A street bread was finished I used some of K’s regular whole wheat). I had the Berries GoMega odwalla bar around 11, along with several glasses of apple juice…and got around to my lunch break a few hours later. Since it was snowing outside, I wrapped myself from head to toe with layer upon layer and sprinted to Bruno’s. Of course… Read more >

little nugget

Saturday. The rest of the normal working world is sleeping through the morning and enjoying staying inside on this freezing weekend day…but not me. I got up earlier than normal since the weekend subway runs local, so it takes me a longer than usual to get to the lower east side. I stopped at Bruno’s for my AM coffee and then the day began…and flew by. I really wasn’t looking forward to working the weekend, but as it turns out, it was a great day! I got my same patients back, which is always nice… Read more >

i heart Bruno’s

First of all, check out this BOMB shopping trip (I stocked up on the odwalla bars – mmmm). These are such great snacks because they aren’t too filling, but are still healthy and yum. Second of all, I feel as though Bruno’s Ravioli deserves a may-jah shout out considering I go there EVERY day I work. They have the best coffee (that also happens to be cheaper than starbucks) and their salads, sandwiches, and soups are to-DIE-for delicious. Everyone that goes there falls in love, and that’s not an exaggeration. So of course today was… Read more >

fat and lazy

Gym? What’s that? So I’ve been reallllly milking the sick excuse. I can’t even remember my last work out. After this next stretch of 3 shifts in a row (Fri, Sat, Sun) I am SO getting back on the horse. I slept in again today and I woke up feeling so much better. I think I found the way to get over a cold – tea, rest, repeat (yeah, I’m a nurse). Froth. Caffeine. SoY latte goodness. Keeping with the extra-calories-to-cure-me theme…I had a rather large breakfast again this morning (for a non-bfast person). Above… Read more >

gimme gimme (more)

I actually woke up with a hop in my step today – how weird is that? At 5 am?! On a work day?! That’s not even normal for a morning person…let alone me. I think it’s because I wanted to be over my cold SOOO badly, I was trying to will it to happen. I felt a little better, still way sick, but at least I could walk to work without getting out of breath. I had a glass of tea before I left (this NEW kind). Green tea with acai and pomegranate…so good. Hopefully,… Read more >
