London calling

My K-Love is still in the UK, and I miss him like whoa!  Since he left for his business trip while I was in Cabo, I haven’t seen him for over a week, and the time difference makes it hard to even get in a few live conversations…boo :(   He even called the unit yesterday (while I was WORKING) to say a quick hello, that’s how desperate we were to touch base.  It was only a 3 minute convo though, since one of my patients went into V-tach right after I picked up the phone. … Read more >

the silk comeback

Oh, SILK soy milk, how I missed you – let me count the ways.  Glass of silk before leaving for work Silky soy latte from Starbucks to kick start my first day back on the unit Soy misto with lunch (from Starbucks, too) And that’s only noon! Here’s my sammie, packed the night before.  It’s smart deli “turkey” with the works. This baby never disappoints!  I also had a Berries GoMega odwalla bar with my AM coffee and the dried fruit with my PM JUG of apple juice.  Yeah, I really really sugar loaded at… Read more >

Planes, trains, and automobiles

A recap of my travel filled day: Wake up call at 5 am, off to JFK at 6 am (I literally took 3 different forms of transportation to get to the airport, including the subway, the Long Island Rail Road, and the air tram)…quite the workout for the crack of dawn.  Needless to say, I was exhausted once I got to the airport, which is pretty pathetic, considering I haven’t worked in a week and have had 10+ hours of sleep every night.  I’m turning into a sloth apparently?  Without a starbucks in sight, I… Read more >

How to cope with 15 degree weather…

Step one: buy a flight to Mexico Step two: there is no step two Yup, I just bought a flight to Cabo San Lucas for next week!!!!!!! Peace out snow. I know it seems lame, but I kept going back and forth if this trip was wise with all the crap I have to do to get the year started off right. But it’s hard to argue with a free flight and place to stay (my parents own the place and my Dad offered me his frequent flier miles). Hell YEAH! Only 6 days til… Read more >

a fresh start

There’s nothing like the blanket of white snow covering the ground to symbolize the clean slate that today represents. Welcome 2009. I love you already. Fresh starts are always a good thing. Today started bright and early with a 5 am wake-up call for work. I packed my lunch the night before, which included the usual smart deli sammie, apple, mix of raisin/dried cranberries, plus odwalla bar.Look what Santa left for me!! Clearly my mom (errr…santa) knows me well. This will last me quite a while – yay!!On the way to work I was bummed… Read more >
