chronic corner

Dude. Work is exhausting. Most of the patients on the unit are chronics, so they should really have 1:1 care (which of course they don’t). Post op day 57?! Oy vey! (yiddish words in honor of Beth Israel) Anyways, the day began with coffee (Bruno’s) and the paper (Metro). About 11 am I had this odwalla bar that I brought in. Second only to the superfood flavor, this flavor (strawberry pomegranate) is my fave. It’s new. Actually, it may have just taken over the favorite spot.For lunch I had a sando with hummus, mustard, smart… Read more >

homebody

Today’s highlights include: wearing my sweatpants all day, having 3 cups of coffee, and football (lots of football). The rest is just details.All the way to the last drop. Not very much foam today, I guess? Still the same magic formula of skim plus and ff vanilla “creamer.”I went to the gym to watch the Giants game. This year, having 2 fantasy football teams is really confusing. I can never remember who is on which team, and when to cheer and when to boo. Sometimes I go an entire game thinking one player is on… Read more >

rain rain go away

Initially, the plan for today was to be mellow in the AM, and party hard in the PM…BUT the rain would not let up!! Plans for celebrating my b-day got scrapped, and I opted for a pajama party instead 😉My boyfriend was a real sweetheart and grabbed me a soy misto on his way home from the gym.

I was just sitting down to breakfast (ok, the starbucks and the vanilla silk soy milk) and Kyle was already practically out the door for tutoring…I’m such… Read more >

living like a grown up

The day after my birthday I had to work, so it was back to reality. The C pod was super mega patient overload (to quote black rob, it was “like whoa”). Each patient was so heavy, there should have been 5 more nurses at least, but of course there were just two of us left to hold down the fort. The day started off with a nice starbucks soy misto, but since I was running around like a mad woman all morning, my stomach was growling by 9 and eating itself by 10. Thank the… Read more >

Birthday #26!!

Hooray, it’s my birthday!! I am going to do nothing all day, and not feel the least bit guilty about it. I grabbed a soy latte from starbucks and then curled up to watch the view…now that’s just my idea of heaven. Once I woke up a little bit more, I headed to the gym and got my endorphins going. For lunch I had a GN veggie burger with hummus…lots and lots of hummus. I LOVE sabra. I then headed out to go shopping and brought a bag of edamame with me for snacking. I… Read more >
