MERRY X-MAS EVE!!!!!!!!! As of this morning, today was looking like a near disaster…but wouldn’t you know it, the day quickly turned absolutely AMAZING! Somehow I managed to hit snooze without realizing it, so when I looked at the clock and it said 6:33 am, I FREAKED out! My shift starts at 7. That’s kinda a problem. I called the unit to give them a heads up that I was running a bit late (understatement much?) and then hauled ass to get my butt on the subway. I was trying not to stress, since there… Read more >

candle day #1

AKA the 1st day of Hanukkah. Why are there 4 different ways to spell that? Well, since I work at a (technically) Jewish hospital, I know more than I ever thought I would about the kosher ways of the world. So, my blog title is in celebration of the festival of lights! Good thing my lunch didn’t have meat and dairy on the same plate…oh wait, I don’t eat meat OR dairy, so looks like I’m perma-kosher by default. I had to DRAG myself out of bed this morning. My alarm went off at 5… Read more >

what the buck?

I can’t even believe how late I slept in today! It’s so embarassing, I don’t even want to write it. Let’s just say, I think I got all caught up for the week. Since it was snowing BIG TIME outside, I decided to stay in bed (hehe). So, I made some coffee, frothed some milk, and viola(!) the best morning ever – warm and toasty, bundled up in my comforter šŸ™‚ SNOW!! falling…and falling… Eventually, I had to venture out of the bedroom, so (reluctantly) I grabbed some raspberry soy yogurt before getting ready for… Read more >

i’m thinking squash

Buenos dias! No work = sleep in day (woo hoo)! Made a nice big frothy mug of coffee this morning. Yum yum yum. I spent the next few hours doing errands around the apartment…and I didn’t even realize how much time had passed until my stomach started growling around 2 pm. Whoa! Late lunch much? So I made a nice platter for myself with the best hummus EVAH (Sabra). First I had some carrots and a slice of Alvarado street bread… Then I had one more piece of bread (caked with delicious Sabra)… And another…… Read more >

(don’t) stand under my umbrella, ella, ella

I HATE rain!!! Ugh. Today’s weather makes me want to curl up in a ball under a blanket and never come out again until April/May. This is why I am not meant to be a East Coast-er/New Yorker. My umbrella was inside out 90% of the time, so I arrived to work with scrubs that weighed an extra 5 lbs and an afro (fabulous). There is very little else in the world that is more frustrating than dealing with a non-functional umbrella in a torrential downpour. Okay, enough complaining…on to the food. I was super… Read more >
