Tuesday's come and go in the blink of an eye.

I don't think I could ever blog on a Tuesday unless I get another computer / fix my laptop. Tuesday's are the most absolute insane day of the week by far.. Tuesday mornings I'll arrive at the office by 8:00 am. Clean a bit, and hope to God no patient's come early. I'll plug in the radio, check the messages (and return them), leave out the washroom keys and set up the paperwork just in time for the first few patients to arrive. We start clinic at 9:00 am sharp and it goes until about 1:40 pm. Yesterday I had scheduled an assessment - this is where a patient has gotten into a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) or some sort of accident has occurred to them ie, dog bite, which in turn has scarred them for life - not only physically but mentally as well. It's sad really.. but needless to say, it was a busy day.

There used to be times it would be so busy, I would just happen to look at the time and it's like "shit, it's 2 pm and I haven't eaten anything ALL day". Thankfully I've been trying to listen to my body so when I start to feel the rumble, I will drink some water, let it sit and if the rumble comes back I eat.

Here's my food diary from yesterday:
Breakfast: Bran muffin + 1/2 protein shake
Snack: Celery, few bites of baked sweet potato
Lunch: Stuffed orange pepper
Snack: 1/2 protein bar, clementine
Dinner: 1 pint of Molson Canadian, sweet potato fries (shared with mama B), salad and (4) breaded and sauced wings. I gave the leftovers to Jack, and so did my mom (aka Mama B)
Side note - yesterday's dinner was not my cheat meal. I didn't have carbs at all yesterday so the breading on the wings didn't count as anything. NOOOTTTHIIINNNG =)

Went to bed early in hopes of going to the gym today but my body needed and wanted sleep. Walked in the rain for 30 minutes (which was the only lunch break I had).. it was still a break though so I can't complain.

Today is Wednesday AKA Post Tuesday. Time to call the patients for booking major surgery in the O.R. and faxing out referrals... I'll try to blog again after my intern leaves. Stay tuned.
PS: No gym yesterday.

Sleeping.

I feel like I've always taken advantage of sleep. The power of sleep - not one of life's wonders. You get a good night sleep, you're able to function properly the next day. I never truly appreciated the act of sleep until last night. I'm in bed roughly by 9 pm maybe 9:30 pm and I'm a light sleeper. (perfect mom quality might I add) Jack on the other hand goes to bed around 10:30 pm or 11:00 pm. He admitted he has FOMO - F ear O f M issing O ut but in regards to TV / Facebook videos so he's up watching something so that's the reason why he doesn't go to bed at the same time as me. Well last night the Leaf game was on - and I can only assume that they lost because I didn't hear any screaming at the TV then again I didn't hear anger either and Jack's pretty loud when it comes to Leaf games (major hockey fan). I only heard around 11:19 pm that he was heading to bed. And then the loud breathing started. I can't really tell if it'...

Exhausted.

I am definitely feeling the after affects of eating crappy foods. Do you ever feel oddly tired? Especially since you're well rested and haven't over worked your body..? That's me right now. Although it's not odd at all. I noticed when I eat foods that have little to zero nutritional value my body reacts in a sluggish state. Over the weekend I indulged to a point where I just feel exhausted. I'm staring at the computer blogging and I can barely keep my eyes open . It's lunch time thank goodness so I could take a nap if I wanted to. However, that would be such a tease to my eyes and mental state. Today started off super frustrating as my co-worker did not show up. Generally Monday's are insanely busy. The office is closed on Fridays so we have messages from Thursday evening all the way up until Sunday night. The number of messages ranges between 20-40 and usually 30 (or so) fax messages. Returning those messages alone while having the phones ringing in ...

Oh hello

Hey there stranger, it's been awhile, hasn't it? I don't even know where to begin!! It feels nice and calm that my head is screwed in and I don't want it to EXPLODE. The speech went great. It was short and sweet - Jack went off his speech and did an amazing job. I was really impressed, his was pretty sweet. We were a bit taken a back because there was no podium. Jack wrote his speech on his phone.. so it was a bit weird for him but so did a couple other people. Actually one, it was one other person and it was Jamaal's family member so Jack shouldn't feel awkward or anything. YAY! Christine is married. I'm so happy for her. She has the whole week off - lucky goose. Then again, today is my Friday. Tomorrow is good friday so that's a day off but because I usually have fridays off, I get a lieu day so I GET MONDAY OFF TOO!!! Major smiles up in here. So lets get this show on the road shall we? Okay so this is what happens when you forget your protein ...
