I didn’t realize (raw) Wednesday had arrived (already?!) until I was making my lunch last night. I guess that’s what happens when your schedule is completely random. So this is what I packed to eat…but I wasn’t really feeling it. …so THIS is what I actually ate! I heart this place. There’s one in Union Square (easy walking distance from where I work). My ravenous appetite was STILL in full force today, so I polished off the apple and odwalla bar by 9 am…meaning by the time I got off the unit for my… Read more >

Welllll…this weekend was pretty intense. I worked. I saved lives. Literally. I try not to go into too much detail about my job (a) because of the whole patient privacy thing and (b) because I have a feeling it’s not very thrilling to read about. But sometimes I wish I could share all the crazy things I see and do on a daily basis because, well, it’s a big part of my life. Or at least a part. Anyways, as I’ve mentioned before, I work in the cardiopulmonary critical care unit (CPCU), which is the… Read more >

I LOVE warm weather. And being that this was the first nice weekend we New Yorkers have had this season, I decided to take advantage. Obviously, I wasn’t the only one with this brilliant idea…apparently the rest of New York was on the same wavelength. I wish I had a photo of Central Park…the great lawn was PACKED like nothing I’ve ever seen. Not an INCH to spare! “Not an square to spare.” – anyone? AM Montage: frothy java, chobz, & coconut date rolls I went on a supah long run in the Park before… Read more >

I was so excited to get to sleep in today, until I woke up to my crazy co-worker calling me at the crack of dawn…there goes that. In her defense, she’s crazy in a good way…still, when I’m with her, I don’t know if I should (a) shoot her up with Haldol or (b) just further feed her kookiness with my own wacky ways. *FYI: Haldol is a med for schizo patients She works night shifts, so we don’t actually work directly with each other, hence the ridiculously early phone calls on my days off. … Read more >

I woke up today feeling exponentially better than the past 2 days. YES! So I made coffee and got to work MOVING! I made lots of progress, and hardly realized how quickly time was flying by. I had to go with a quick and easy lunch, so naturally I turned to my girl Amy. This company can do no wrong in my opinion. Every meal I have is better than the last. The delicious Indian Mattar Tofu was no exception. The above photo was straight out of the package. The below photo was after I… Read more >
