friday FUNday

Hooray for the end of the week arriving! And, even more for Kyle working a half day and joining me for the afternoon. So, I had a NOT good cup of coffee when I woke up. I really put it off for a while because I wanted to finish my book, and I think that re-heating the left over coffee from yesterday was not the best idea. I didn’t get the ratio of milk to coffee right at all, plus there was a funky Irish-cream-like after taste that I was not into. Enough said. I… Read more >

test day – will school ever end?

Yes, I am sore from the spinning class. Yes, I am sick of studying. Yes, I am eager for the weekend to come. So this morning was uneventful. Same routine I have been having lately, coffee, gym, heading to the hospital for half days. Actually I had to really study before I went to ACLS today since I was being tested, or so I thought. As usual, I was an overachiever and could have slacked off and still passed easily, but that’s not my style, so I did the practice test this am and read… Read more >

a half-day of “work”

So this was a picture of the lunch I packed the night before. But all I brought to work with me was the apple and the dried soy beans.

I was excited at… Read more >

ACLS – psyche!

Coffee, see photo, was good. What was even better was that I enjoyed the company of my boyfriend while having the coffee…that is rare, so it was quite a treat! I didn’t even finish one cup (see the picture is actually the rest of the not drunk coffee). I pretty much hit the gym up right after the coffee and decided to try to jazz up the routine. I only barely changed my elliptical work out, but it did feel different, and thus better. I went for the random setting, which wasn’t as random as… Read more >

fluids, fluids, fluids

Yep that’s the name of the game. Fluids. Today was a fairly productive day, as far as days off go. Although the day’s news was mostly bad, (GI appt, OB/GYN appt, employee health appt since I had to get clearance to return to work…) I am still optimistic that I have now hit rock bottom and from here on it is only going to get better. So, that said, I started the day off nice and early today (had to compensate for yesterday’s sleep in) with an ff misto/latte with homemade starbucks coffee and a… Read more >
