my nose is froze!

Yep, I have gone through 3 boxes of tissue in the last week…and my nose has paid the price. It’s red and raw and hurts! I’m still blowing my nose around the clock, too…when is this cold going to go away??? When I go outside it’s, like, 800 times worse, too! Frozen and chafed = bad bad combo. So I woke up this morning because I was unable to breathe out of my nose (again) so I immediately opted for some tea. I even held it right under my nose to let the steam’s vapor-like… Read more >

skinny bitch in the kitch

Even after working 3 days in a row, I still couldn’t even sleep in! I woke up at 8 (but really just rolled over and turned the tv on). I actually got up an hour or so later, and got my coffee on.SO frothy šŸ™‚ A little later I decided to finish my dessert from last night. Yeah, vegan chocolate mousse is not exactly a typical breakfast food, but who’s to say I’m typical. Me? Normal? Not so much.More AM snacking continues…vanilla soy yogurt (these babies are HARD to find in the store lately, so… Read more >

Green eating

Carbon footprint of a bowl of cereal? I came upon this article the other day. It is really interesting and discusses the impact we have on the environment, not just in the obvious aspects of our lives (driving SUVs, etc.) but in areas we hardly think about – our food choices. Local or imported? Conventional or organic? Can we make choices that will keep our diets healthy and reduce our carbon footprint? Is it possible to eat green? Does it even matter? The idea that the carbon footprint of a bowl of cereal is equivalent… Read more >

yesterday repeat

So basically today was the same as yesterday. Same mixed feelings regarding working on the weekend. Same Bruno’s coffee to get me moving at the crack of dawn. Same-ish sandwich at lunch (since the A street bread was finished I used some of K’s regular whole wheat). I had the Berries GoMega odwalla bar around 11, along with several glasses of apple juice…and got around to my lunch break a few hours later. Since it was snowing outside, I wrapped myself from head to toe with layer upon layer and sprinted to Bruno’s. Of course… Read more >

little nugget

Saturday. The rest of the normal working world is sleeping through the morning and enjoying staying inside on this freezing weekend day…but not me. I got up earlier than normal since the weekend subway runs local, so it takes me a longer than usual to get to the lower east side. I stopped at Bruno’s for my AM coffee and then the day began…and flew by. I really wasn’t looking forward to working the weekend, but as it turns out, it was a great day! I got my same patients back, which is always nice… Read more >
