Every other year I embark on journey that breaks me from reality. I set foot into large building where all I smell is antiseptic, all I see is sadness, and all I hear is why? or help me?
Four years ago an idea burst in my head that I wanted to become a nurse, and a damn good one. I have seen to many people sick and ignored that needed to be nurtured. In May 2011, I graduated with a BSN in nursing and my life changed. I was fortunate to have a job ready for me when I graduated. It is a large hospital around my hometown that is known for seeing unique cases. And oh, is my job unique.
I work a 7/70 schedule. Seven days in a row for ten hour shifts. The only benefit of this schedule is I have my next week off where I can get back in touch with life.
Remember when I said I needed to be healthy? Well, this is why. During these weeks you sleep a lot. Your schedule is eat, sleep, and work. This past week, I finally started something new and my job doesn’t seem so bad.
It’s called enjoy your morning! I work second shift, so mornings are all I get. I started my new routine of always making food. I plan breakfast and pack my own lunch. Thus far I have had more energy physically and mentally. Here are my breakfasts:
Manic Monday:
Alterra Coffee/ Oatmeal with Honey and Fruit Medley
Tuckered Tuesday:
Alterra Coffee/ Chobani Greek Strawberry Yogurt/ Apple Cinnamon French Toast
Wonderful Wednesday:
Alterra Coffee/ Egg Over Easy/ Wheat Toast/ Grapes
Tacky Thursday:
Alterra Coffee/ Cranberry Almond Crunch Post Cereal
Breakfast will always be my favorite meal to make. And yes I like my coffee. In Milwaukee we have a local coffee chain that has tasty, organic, fair trade beans. My love is NICARAGUA DON ZELEDÓN.
