trouble is a friend, trouble is a foe

My patients are trying to make me FAT!!! Look at all the shit below. I have been collecting all the presents from my patients and their families in my locker for a while now, and I finally just brought it all home (since my locker was overflowing with candy). I still left mentos and lollipops behind though. Talk about an unhealthy work environment! How can I possibly resist all this delish crap? So, I will most likely cave now that I brought it home… So, I finally got to sleep in today. Hooray for weekends… Read more >

still stuffed to the brim

Ughhhh. Too much food. I don’t know how I managed to feast and feast and feast – like it was my last meal or something! Anyways, working the day after t-day was neither pleasant nor comfortable as a result of my out of control eating. I managed to make a sando for myself before work (the same old smart deli turkey). I had 2 cups of Bruno’s coffee (one before work and one on my lunch break) and 2 cups of applesauce that my patient’s family brought me (no pic). Super protein!! Delish odwalla goodness… Read more >

gobble gobble

I woke up starving…never a good way to start off thanksgiving! So I made sure to leave for work extra early so I could enjoy a steamy cup of coffee and a heaping bowl of oatmeal. And by heaping, I mean HEAPING! I used 2 packets of Nature’s Path (one original with flax and one cinnamon raisin) and added in soy milk (vanilla silk) and a tablespoon (or 3 or 4) of peanut butter!! Hello piglet šŸ™‚ Basically, thanksgiving is going to be a FULL day, since it is already 6 am and I am… Read more >

smorgasbord

Today was not a day I was looking forward to…but all good things must come to an end, so back to work I went… It wasn’t as bad as I anticipated (most likely because I went in with the lowest of low expectations) – how sad that I approach my job this way?! Whatever. The unit was slow-ish, but I still had 3 patients. It was nice to work with Miranda and Jaja at least…Here’s the lunch I packed the day before.Smart deli turkey sammie with greek yog, mustard, and lettuce on A street bread…. Read more >

just chillin

I woke up at 7 am and then went back to sleep…next thing I know it’s nearly noon! Eek. I don’t know why I should feel guilty, but I do. No matter – today is my last day of chillin’ before returning to work tomorrow.So here’s the first morning coffee…sitting on the window ledge while I blog and watch t.v. And then below (after I woke up a little bit more) is my whole AM spread. Self, Shape, and Vegetarian Times magazines with a steamy mug full of caffeine love. Nothing better!Gym time. Elliptical for… Read more >
