Parents vacay – part II

Got up and at ’em by 9 to meet the parents at 10 in midtown. Naturally, Kyle and I stopped at Starbucks en route for some early morning caffeination. Soy misto!! Then we headed to MoMA for the Van Gogh special exhibit. I was so excited! We got into the exhibit by 11 and then checked out the rest of the museum after for a few hours. Then it was lunch time! Since we were already in midtown and only had an hour until Young Frankenstein, we went for a quick lunch at Europa Cafe…. Read more >

Parents vacay – part I

I set my alarm for 5:30 am because that’s when my parents’ flight was set to arrive. But being so early after a work night, I fell back asleep in less than one second. I woke back up at 6 when they called from their hotel…it seems they were not quite ready to start the day yet either after the long flight. So, I had some coffee, dates and a soy yogurt before meeting the parents at their hotel. I walked to their hotel (that’s going to be my exercise for the day) which took… Read more >

Let’s just say, I am now thoroughly enjoying the fact that I don’t have anyone following my every step – for christ’s sake, I think I can dot my i’s and cross my t’s by now (it has been 6 months)!!Ok, 5 am – Bruno’s coffee. 1 pm – lunch. Side note: I made a lunch, and didn’t even realize until… Read more >

chronic corner

Dude. Work is exhausting. Most of the patients on the unit are chronics, so they should really have 1:1 care (which of course they don’t). Post op day 57?! Oy vey! (yiddish words in honor of Beth Israel) Anyways, the day began with coffee (Bruno’s) and the paper (Metro). About 11 am I had this odwalla bar that I brought in. Second only to the superfood flavor, this flavor (strawberry pomegranate) is my fave. It’s new. Actually, it may have just taken over the favorite spot.For lunch I had a sando with hummus, mustard, smart… Read more >

homebody

Today’s highlights include: wearing my sweatpants all day, having 3 cups of coffee, and football (lots of football). The rest is just details.All the way to the last drop. Not very much foam today, I guess? Still the same magic formula of skim plus and ff vanilla “creamer.”I went to the gym to watch the Giants game. This year, having 2 fantasy football teams is really confusing. I can never remember who is on which team, and when to cheer and when to boo. Sometimes I go an entire game thinking one player is on… Read more >
