A few days ago Kailey posted about her idea of balance and then she encouraged others to share their own version. To me, balance is not getting stressed out about making things even and constant. It’s just not realistic pour moi. Because I work such long hours, but then have full days off in between, I know that each day will be new and different than the last. I work weekends, night shifts, day shifts, holidays, whatever. And I’m never sure of how my day will go either. Will my patient load be easy and… Read more >

I started the day with a raging headache. WTF?! No fair >:( Nothing a little caffeine couldn’t fix, right? Wrong. So, I pulled out the big guns Excedrin and distracted myself with brekkie until the meds kicked in. Food = happy hippie. Not the most inspiring meals. Sorry. I did make a fabulous lunch to make up for it, though. Dave’s Killer Bread (I’m down to my last slices, eek!), CAKED with tofummus, spinach, and LightLife’s Smart Deli “turkey.” CAKED I tell ya… See it and weep. After my tummy was satisfied, I decided to… Read more >

Rise and shine! It’s coffee time. I wasn’t as sore today as I thought I’d be…in fact, aside from my hammies and glutes I was feeling pretty great. I still decided to milk it (why not), so I scheduled a post-race massage for this evening. I broke the fast with a peach chobz, an apple, and dried pineapple rings while watching last night’s Brothers & Sisters and reading blogs. I loved reading all your supportive comments regarding my race (and my struggle to push through the pain). It meant a lot to me… Read more >

Today was a repeat of yesterday. Kyle dragged me out of bed by 9, but it wasn’t until I smelled the coffee brewing, that I actually began to perk up. Like yesterday, I mixed the choc/raspberry blend with the regular starbucks blend. Unlike yesterday, today’s coffee came out way more raspberry flavored. I guess since it’s a blend, there’s no telling which flavor will come through stronger, but I think I preferred yesterday’s. I added a LOT of silk to it (way more than I usually do) to try to downplay the raspberry. I also… Read more >

I woke up to flurries, and the weather only picked up from there. It was nice to sip hot coffee inside, wrapped in blankets, while the snow fell outside. I only like snow when I don’t have to leave the house though, so I think I’ll be over it pretty quickly since I have work tomorrow. With my AM coffee, I had a handful of dates, they were SUPER soft and chewy – the way I like them best. Look at the snow! It’s hard to tell how much it was actually snowing from the… Read more >
