These past few days my appetite has been ravenous. [I haven’t done any form of exercise, though, so it’s definitely odd. But my body is far from normal, so I just went with it.] Take breakfast for instance, usually a tupperware of oatmeal with the fixins will hold me over pretty well. But I had this before I left for the hospital and was already hungry for my next meal by the time my shift started at 7 am. WTF? I had a banana and breakfast cookie and praised the Lord when I saw… Read more >

Maybe it’s because I’m a nut job myself. Or maybe it’s because I prefer things that are based on formulas and bound by rules. But whatever the reason, I have a very hard time with crazy people.* *I’m using this term in the clinical sense. I truly think psych nurses are 10% human and 90% saints. I don’t know how they do it. In case you couldn’t guess, there have been some real characters in the hospital lately. Anyway. I’m so behind in posting my work meals, I’m just gonna photo bomb you all and… Read more >

Ready for an entire day of food? It’s rare that I do these kinds of posts anymore and after yesterday I realized why. It’s hard to get everything! For example, I had a bagel set out for breakfast, but when I got up I didn’t feel like it. Correction, I felt like something else. A cookie to be specific. That’s because this tupperware was sitting on the counter mocking me as I made my coffee. I knew if I didn’t have one, I’d be thinking about them all day and would likely have a… Read more >

By the time I got home the other day I was about to fall over with exhaustion. It was one of the busiest days I’ve ever worked. To give you a point of reference, I never finished my morning coffee. Yes, I managed to get away for my lunch break (remember how we have break relief nurses to cover us), but I spent 75% of the time tucked away in the computer room getting caught up on charting. Anyway. If you’re looking for someone to blame for my really delayed Wednesday post, I’m removing myself… Read more >

Going into the weekend I had all my meals ready to go. Starting with Thursday night, I made a typical hippie bowl. If I had to choose a combination of ingredients to eat forevermore it would probably be these: quinoa, carrots, corn, seitan, avocado I recently got a question about the ratio of grain to veg to protein in my “hippie bowl” type meals. In all honesty, I don’t consciously compose them with a specific ratio in mind, but if I had to guess I’d say it is pretty much 1:1:1. Sometimes… Read more >
