I had spaghetti and cheesy stuffed meatballs for dinner and a vanilla milkshake from my favorite ice cream stand (where you can [...]

No … it [...]

It’s 1:20 am and I am still up watching TV with my boyfriend. Probably will be up until at least 2. Probably later. And I am hungry!!!! I really want a sandwich. He ate a sandwich, mozzarella sticks, and cookies in front of me. I think I want a PB and J maybe. Soooo bad. [...]

Bad day. Boyfriend problems. Headed toward a break-up … maybe. I don’t know. We’ve been together 3 1/2 years, and the fights get worse and more complicated. Love him very much, but he really has some growing up to do.
The “worst day ever” actually refers to my food intake for yesterday. It involved a family [...]

Wow … I really did jinx things last night when I said it was a quiet night at the hospital. About an hour later, we had a code blue, and the patient didn’t make it. And it wasn’t even one of our sickest patients, or so we thought. He wasn’t mine, but everyone on the [...]
