Parents vacay – part III

After SUCH a late night, we got to sleep in only a bit. I had a nice frothy coffee (with a mix of ff vanilla “creamer” and skim plus). Then the parents arrived at our apartment and we headed off for a morning stroll through Riverside Park. We ended up making our way east into Central Park to catch some of the tail end of the NYC marathon. How inspirational!!!! I am now determined to get my butt in gear. No joke. Carpe diem. This is going to be my year. 26 is going to… Read more >

chronic corner

Dude. Work is exhausting. Most of the patients on the unit are chronics, so they should really have 1:1 care (which of course they don’t). Post op day 57?! Oy vey! (yiddish words in honor of Beth Israel) Anyways, the day began with coffee (Bruno’s) and the paper (Metro). About 11 am I had this odwalla bar that I brought in. Second only to the superfood flavor, this flavor (strawberry pomegranate) is my fave. It’s new. Actually, it may have just taken over the favorite spot.For lunch I had a sando with hummus, mustard, smart… Read more >

Today’s highlights include: wearing my sweatpants all day, having 3 cups of coffee, and football (lots of football). The rest is just details.All the way to the last drop. Not very much foam today, I guess? Still the same magic formula of skim plus and ff vanilla “creamer.”I went to the gym to watch the Giants game. This year, having 2 fantasy football teams is really confusing. I can never remember who is on which team, and when to cheer and when to boo. Sometimes I go an entire game thinking one player is on… Read more >

my last day of 25

The day flew by. My LAST day of 25 years old. I had a soy latte before work and an Iced Oatmeal Luna Bar in the morning. For lunch I had a sando (packed from the night before). Bread with sabra classic hummus, mustard, and smart tenders “chik’n tenders” (lemon and herb flavor). Normally I like some greens in my sando, but then it would have been so fat, I wouldn’t have been able to take a bite. Way fat! I also had raisins and an apple…then a coffee for the road (only 5 more… Read more >

if i had a million dollars…

I would devote a whole wing of my mansion to be a starbucks…OR I would hire a starbucks barista to follow me around with a fully stocked coffee cart…I’m not sure why, but their coffee just tastes better in the store. I can’t make anything that’s even close in comparison! So it goes without saying that my morning started off with a fatty venti soy latte. I worked with my fav girlies today, so work was awesome. The unit was FULL so since there were 3 of us, we each had 3 patients. It was… Read more >
