These are a few of my [least] favorite things

Today I woke up 10 minutes early because of the bitch of a snowstorm that decided to hit last night. I knew it would take me a bit to scrape off my car, but I didn't anticipate my car being stuck in the parking lot. Fortunately, I live about 4 blocks from the hospital and don't actually have to drive, but I much prefer a toasty warm pre-heated car to the freezing cold dark streets at 6:15 a.m. That being said, I took to the streets this morning. It takes only a little more time to walk, but as sleep and I are best friends/lovers/inseparable, I'd rather get the 5-7 extra minutes of sleep. After all, that's 25-35 minutes of sleep per week! Also, on days where I go to the gym after work, I like to drive straight there rather than go home first. If I go home first, it's unlikely that I will find my way back out to the gym.

Anywho, I forgot my ID at home today, but fortunately, the med student on nights let me borrow his for the day. It still made for an awkward day as your ID is required to open all the magical employee doors and I didn't have his readily available (I wasn't about to clip it to the front of my white coat), but worse things could happen.

Overall, I'm doing well maintaining my grouchy mood. Today, I have a sore throat and headache. Now that I'm home, I'm feeling a bit nauseated and feverish. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I'm hoping I'm not sick because vomiting is literally my least favorite thing. Well, maybe second least (Michigan weathers might take the cake on that one. Seriously, Mother Nature, calm the eff down already). I hate vomiting so much that despite the persistence of friends that I'll "feel so much better" after I throw up, I would rather feel miserable than throw up. That being said, I don't know anyone who loves throwing up.

And on that note, let's look at pictures of food! I forgot to take a picture of breakfast, but since I eat eggs everyday, it's not really that fascinating...

Today's afternoon snack

Salad to eat while waiting for my chicken to cook cuz I was too hungry to wait

Teriyaki chicken for dinner - I just threw this in the oven (cooking is not my forte) 

Leftovers for lunch tomorrow

3 clementines and grapes for lunch tomorrow

Morning snack for tomorrow

Not something I would eat, but something that's adorable just for kicks

My current plans are to hit the gym after work tomorrow as long as I don't make a trip to Vomitville or Sick City. Let's hope I don't.

Waking up on the wrong side of the bed

I definitely woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Though I'm not sure there's a right side when you get less than 5 hours of sleep, but I was a grouch all day. I don't think I was mean to anyone, but I wasn't my usual bubbly self at work. And I really didn't care.

After work, I wasn't even going to try to go to the gym because apparently there's such a thing as thundersnow and it was proving to be one hell of a bitch of a storm. The roads were awful and I got stuck going up my driveway, which really frustrates me because my landlord has been doing a pretty poor job of keeping up with the snow this winter. I've never gotten stuck in my parking lot or the driveway before this year and it's happened to me 5 or 6 times this year. So, I got home in a piss poor mood and nearly ate everything in sight (mostly cuz I was also hungry), but instead I made myself two glasses of crystal light and munched on a serving size of pretzels and started working on some write-ups. Then, when I was calmed down and more rational about serving sizes, I made myself some dinner.

So you needn't read between the lines: I didn't work out today. I told myself I could do some Wii Just Dance, but it was 9:30 when I realized I should start getting ready for bed and I just didn't feel up to it. Don't judge me. I'll get my exercise in. I'm not about to ask you guys to help hold me accountable and then just not work out. But I probably won't get my first gym visit in until Wednesday the way this week is looking schedule-wise. You've been warned. Please don't shame me until Wednesday.

Food for today:

Breakfast

French toast juice

Breakfast for dinner

I grew up using cinnamon and sugar for my french toast, not syrup

Evening snack

Tomorrow's lunch: ham and cheese sandwich with fruit

Tomorrow's morning snack

Not pictured were the four brownies I ate today. I know, I know. But it was one of the medical student's birthdays and his mom brought them in. The good thing is that really, I feel as though I only ate 2 because they were so small, but I would have survived had I eaten just one. I know that now. Hindsight is always 20/20. Blah, blah. Stop judging.

Here's to a better tomorrow!
