dried mixed fruit

bring on the VIPs (and the hummus)

White as far as the eye can see.  I love that I work on the 10th floor, because the view is really pretty, especially on super snowy days!  It was snowing all day, but I still managed to make it to the ‘bucks before work and on my lunch break.  I was the only person on the unit today, so I had all the patients.  Baller!  No but for reals it was kinda crazy.  One of my patients went into sinus tach and then desaturated to the 86% range even with 60% O2 face mask… Read more >

Sleeveless running

The weather cracked into the 40s today, time to celebrate!  I was so happy when I woke up, it was sunny out and I had the day off to enjoy the nice weather outside. Here’s my morning cup of joe…along with some figs, carob covered raisins, and the crossword.  Talk about starting the day off right.  Since I woke up earlier than usual, I got hungry earlier than usual, so I made some french toast that I doused in Earth Balance. This whole wheat Alvarado Street bread is good, maybe even better than the California… Read more >

superbowl sunday

So, today’s breakfast must have been subconsciously inspired by the Superbowl, since I had a super bowl of oats followed by another super bowl of soy yogurt with figs and raisins. I think Bob’s Red Mill is my fave brand of oats now.  They are so fluffy, despite being “quick” oats. I added in creamy peanut butter, carob covered raisins, and vanilla soy milk.  Carob covered raisins are amazing to add in to oats because they melt and you are left with a bowl of raisins along with a slight “chocolate” flavoring to your oats. … Read more >

What’s with my math?

blue sky + sun – clouds = snow?  Wait.  That can’t be right, can it?  Apparently.  I DON’T understand how this east coast weather works.  Anyhoo, s’up kiddos!  Today was a mill times better than yesterday.  Thank you all for your sweet words of encouragement…lord knows I needed it today – heading in to work on the weekend (BOO).  I decided to skip the ‘bucks this morning since I woke up earlier than I needed to and my stomach was relentlessly demanding “feed me.”  I made my own cafe and silk-ed it up big time,… Read more >

have patients

Nope.  Not a typo.  I had QUITE a demanding patient load today at work.  Talk about a shock back into reality.  I’ve been off for about a week now, so I knew it was going to be an abrupt change from the lackadaisical days I’ve been having (lounging around the warm apartment without a hint of an agenda). Anyways, today’s eats were as thrilling as ever.  Ok, I’ll admit it, I’m laying on the sarcasm pretty thick.  Starbucks soy misto to get the day going. Odwalla bar when I couldn’t ignore the growling in my… Read more >
