I promised a giveaway, but I just don’t have it in me tonight. Blogger fail. I do have last night’s dinner, though. When I got home I was in such a wretched mood, I really wasn’t hungry. Sometimes my appetite shuts down shop when I get so worked up…it’s like I am so emotionally drained I can’t even think about anything, food included. I decided to shower, which really helped calm me down and by the time I was de-patient-ified, I was ready to make dinner. What do you do when you are worked up? … Read more >

Today sucked. Mondays suck. I was thisclose to not ranting on the blog, but I just decided to let it all out (it’s pretty therapeutic). So here it goes… Approximately one second after stepping foot outside the hospital today I burst into tears. I knew it was going to happen. I’d been holding it in all day. Naturally I called Kyle and he made things better-ish (or at least as better as they could be in the moment), but I couldn’t help how I truly felt (which was a combination of sad/pissed/angry/frustrated). There were many… Read more >

Saturday started with the ordinary: coffee, blog, tv, yadda yadda. Eventually I made a brunch platter (of the not so ordinary nature). Maybe carrots and apples seem weird for breakfast the first meal of the day, but it’s what I was craving. And if you think I had these without hummus, then you clearly don’t know me at all. I finished off the rest of the (just opened) tub with a 7 grain roll, followed by grapes. Nothing like 8 servings of chickpea heaven to get the day started right. After a hearty mug of… Read more >

What’s up buttercup? TGIF much? I did OT yesterday because my boss is putting full court press on my a$$. Working overtime can go one of two ways, and they happen to be polar opposites. Fortunately, picking up this extra shift did not backfire in my face. It’s amazing how much more enjoyable work is when the unit is adequately staffed and I can actually spend time with my patients without feeling like I’m hours behind in work (novel concept huh?). My boss is not the best when it comes to the business-minded side of… Read more >

What to do when you find yourself starving on the East Side around dinner time? Hit up Candle Cafe, obviously. Since this was an impromptu dinner out, I didn’t have my camera on me…but at least Kyle’s iPhone was on hand. I wish my job gave me fun tech toys (although I’m not sure I would be a fan of having to answer at my boss’ beck and call…so maybe not). Since we were absolutely starving, we started with guacamole and chips while browsing the menu. The chips were like Doritos – sans lard. Delicious. … Read more >
