My legs wanted to stay in bed while the rest of me successfully woke up and correctly made pumpkin oatmeal and coffee for breakfast.

dietitian business

I thought I was going into a work day that would provide time to catch up on charting and even do meal rounds.  I was wrong.  So wrong.  Meetings dominated nearly 2.5 hours.  The meetings were very beneficial though.  The first was the nutrition committee which involved the dietitians, 1 GI doctor, and 1 late pharmacist.  We discussed a line infection case study.  It was awesome!  When the GI doctor spoke up about a few things, I took notes.  I love learning from doctors.  They give insight that we aren’t aware (and that can go vice versa!). 

On our way back from that meeting I snagged a chocolate peanut butter eyeball.

We have a tunnel that connects 2 buildings which is decorated in Halloween pictures and moving ghosts.  Oh and clearly a candy bucket! 

Next up was a dietitian meeting which had me taking nearly a page-full of notes.  We met for an hour which didn’t even allow us to address the entire agenda.  We were able to address a binder that has been created for our med student classes.  This topic was before its time….

After the meeting I approached my boss (boss’s day!) because she told me she didn’t receive my meal round records from last month.  She took my word that I did them.  World’s best boss.

My day was closed out with a patient who required a sign language interpreter.  I have finally gotten the hang of how to conduct these appointments.  Think about it…should the patient be looking down to read something or facing the wall while getting a weight, you can’t talk because the patient can’t see the interpreter! 

clocked out

I doubled checked that I was in fact supposed to do a 30 minute tempo run.  The training rumor was true.  I decided I wouldn’t “red-line” it but would mimic a tempo run.

Looks good!  My legs are sore for this run because of the day before’s run. 

Running stats 3.39 miles     30:02     8’50″ 

Once finishing my run, I was greeted by this duck.

(It started running away once I brought out my camera).  I greeted it back, “Hey duck.” 

The run ended on time to catch this sunset.

Only two 2 mile runs left.  More sunset runs, please!

Dinner was so good!  It turned out way better than I anticipated.

Tacos with guacamole, roasted chickpeas, sautéed red onions and peppers, and plain Fage yogurt.  No side vegetables since vegetables pretty much made up the tacos.

Like most Americans, I watched the debate last night.  I was skirmish when things were getting awkward.  This will be the debate that goes down as the “binders full of women” fiasco. 

And on that note, I need to mail in my absentee ballot application!
