where the veggies at?

I realized over the last few days my meals have been really lacking in the green department! Hmmm…looks like I’ll have to get on that. Maybe later. For now, I need warmth. I woke up because I was shivering, so it looks like I will be getting the down blanket out of the closet for the rest of the winter…it’s f-ing COLD.At least I finally got a day off work so I could sleep in. I def drank my coffee in bed. My slippers are also on their very last legs (no pun intended), so… 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 >

like a black hole

I swear, I have been trying to get out of the C pod for a solid month! It’s loaded with chronic patients and I am slowly dying a bit more each day just being over there…so today I successfully made the transition. Here’s how it works. Both pods (B and C) are part of the cardiac critical care unit, but pod C has 9 rooms and B only has 8. So, since there are 2 nurses per side splitting the patient load, if you are stuck in hell (aka pod C) you may have 5… Read more >

ready to chew my arm off

1) I was starving ALL freakin’ day long, why so hungry?? No idea. 2) My patients were making me craaaaaaaaazy!! 3) My subway train was stuck at the 50th street station (no express trains on weekends – BOO!!) because my car’s door wouldn’t close properly. It added an extra 30 minutes to my already horrible commute. Sweet. I was about to pass out because my stomach was eating itself. ANYways…I was starving by 10 and I was out of odwalla bars (sad), so I stole some food from the extra hospital breakfast trays (even more… 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 >
