In the words of Stephanie Tanner…

“How Rude!”

The day started off like any other – up and at ‘em with the sun.  I even got up 10 minutes early to do a quickie “rise & shine” yoga (gracias a Exercise TV on demand).  I usually don’t do this for fear of waking up Kyle at 5 am – but since he’s away, I decided to take advantage. 

It felt grrrrrreat!  Even though it was little more than stretching, it definitely got me energized. 

Blood flowing.

Ready for work.

Then things got weird.  Not with me.  Fortunately, the drama on the unit today was NOT nursing related.  The aides on the other hand, were really at each others’ throats!!  I thought there was going to be a throw down – Chris Brown style…there were threats and behind-the-back evil stares, and it was cuhraaazy.  Of course I stayed well out of it, but seriously, what the eff, this is a HOSPITAL people! 

It was MORTIFYING. 

I felt so embarrassed to just be associated with these people.  How unprofessional and inappropriate to argue in front of patients, and in an ICU setting no less!  Horrible.

I was this close (fingers, like, next to each other) to saying something…and for a non-confrontational person, who believes in putting patients first at ALL costs (which includes keeping one’s composure in front of them regardless of how much you are provoked), that’s saying something.

Anyways, it was eventually resolved…after I apologized to my patients profusely for the ridiculous display by my co-workers.

In honor of raw Wednesday, my lunch was full of fresh produce…ok, not FULL of, but there was a lot.

Should “raw” day just be called “avocado” day instead?

I guess the apple is the only actual raw snack.  Dried fruit doesn’t count huh?  Too bad dehydrated fruit isn’t NEARLY as tasty…

I stopped at WF on the way home.  I know I shouldn’t have, but I only spent $10 so it’s ok.

I picked up some tofu balls :)

 

Which I dipped in my home-made edamummus (edamame + hummus) and regular hummus…along with a massive plate ‘o veggies.

Brocc, carrots, shroomies, and green beans.

I heart veggies, and so in honor of my lover pie K (who is in my heart now, even more than usual) I went with the mushroom/hummus combo that she is ever-so-fond-of.

Here’s a little food porn, in case you forgot how amazing these babies were…inside and out.

I also decided salted healthy fats were necessary.  I told you Wednesdays should be called avocado days.

Later, I had to go back for round 2 of hummus (if this is surprising to you, wake up, it’s meeeeee).

 

I’m kicking myself for not making it sooner, it’s that good!!  That’s GOLD Jerry, GOLD!  (Seinfeld anyone?)

As soon as dinner was done, I was already looking forward to dessert.  You would be too if you had gotten the most amazing vegan mousse ever!

Whole Foods could charge an arm and a leg demand my firstborn child for this and I’d still buy it. 

I dipped the fruit in it, and when that was gone, I went to town with a spoon.

:(

Guess what tomorrow is?!

a) no work

b) The Shins concert

c) a + b

Give up?  It’s c!!!!!!!  All good news in my book.
