I saw the sign

I’m one of those people who sees “signs” in every little thing.  Even the most mundane occurrences have a greater meaning to me.  It’s ridiculous really.  This personality trait is only heightened when it serves the purpose of acting as an excuse for getting out of exercising.  Case in point: Today’s run was doomed from the get-go because of (1) the rainy weather forecast, (2) my aching joints, and (3) my cranky GI tract.  I took these all to be “signs” that I was not meant to run after my night shift.  Please note these… Read more >

Status Quo

Like I mentioned in my last post, I was on night shift last night.  It was a pretty crazy day all around.  Usually Mondays are pretty chaotic in general because the hospital tends to come to a stand-still over the weekend.  As a result, Mondays are full of catch-up tests and procedures and whatnot.  This weekend was extraordinarily busy with the LA marathon…especially since the hospital I work at is located at mile marker 18.  Given the extra admits (runners), the spillover lasted well into Monday, and so my shift last night was on the… Read more >

Toxin removal

Vegas may be a blast, but in my experience, the aftermath is enough to turn you off of the place for at least the next few months.  I feel like the door hit me on the way out…and by hit me, I mean knocked me on my a$$. Not one to dwell on the past, I started Monday fresh and clean.  No point in wallowing in the pits of (booze-infused) despair. Oatmeal with apples, blueberries, and Sunbutter was the perfect morning meal to get my system back on track. I even went for a run,… Read more >

Vegas vacation

I dragged my feet out of bed Friday morning to squeeze in a workout (I wanted to start off our gluttonous weekend with one last healthy hurrah).  It wasn’t one of my best, but it was better than nothing.  While Kyle showered I made him a birthday breakfast of rosemary hash browns.  I baked the potato first in the microwave for 4ish minutes so it would sauté quicker.  Then I gave it a rough chop (hot potato!) and threw it in the pan with cooking spray, salt, pepper, and rosemary.  After the hash was done,… Read more >

Welcome to fabulous…

Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas Give us your dreamers, your harlots and your sins Laaaaaaaaas Vegas…Didn’t nobody tell you the house will always win? You woke up in the rusted frame, Burned out old Deville Your legs are shot and they’re flushed with pain, But you can’t keep them still The sun sets and you’re afraid, Of the itching in your skin You stumble down the boulevard, Of neon encrusted temples You’re looking for the grace of God, In the arms of a fellow stranger Disciples hand you catalogues of concubines, As you stumble down… Read more >
