What an AWFUL day. Fortunately, I had a seriously awesome dinner to provide the light at the end of the tunnel through it all. Back to the beginning though… Like most days, I stopped at Starbeezies for a coffee. Unlike most days, I didn’t have chance to actually drink it until 10:30!!! Can you even believe it! I was SO swamped with work. It seemed like no matter how much I did to catch up, stuff just kept piling up. TOO MANY PATIENTS!!! Blah. Even though I kept reminding myself to stop. breathe. relax…it did… Read more >

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 >

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 >

WDE. (I’m in a TLA mood). For those who aren’t too UTD… Translations: worst day ever, three letter acronym, up to date But in order to preserve my sanity I will do minimal venting here. Remember the same horrible co-worker I b$%^ched about a few months ago? Well, he’s AGAIN up to his evil, sly, scheming ways, and since his lazy apathetic nursing care was compromising the patients, I was forced to do my work AND his just to make sure certain people didn’t die. AHHHHHHHHH!!! I could have killed him. I have never sworn… Read more >

I finally made it to the only Trader Joe’s in Manhattan. Seriously, I’ve been doing walk-bys for months now (it is RIGHT next to work after all) and each time I venture close, I chicken out when I see the line. You would think that having a line out the door every day of the week would clue them in to maybe open another store, but I guess not everyone is as business savvy as I am (right?). Ok, but let me back the eff up to the beginning of the day. SBUX in the… Read more >
