LIKE EATING GLASS

Just a typical day in my life...
Before my 5:30am breakfast, I managed to smear toothpaste through my hair (something I'm sure my older brother will find amusing) and burned my belly with my flat iron. ouchy.
I looked outside to find a blizzard going on in what used to be a snow free Toronto. Having no subway tokens because the scroogy mcscroogy TTC dude would only issue me paper tokens (don't want me stocking up before the price increase!) I had to empty out my piggy bank and come up with $2.75 (in nickels and dimes) to pay for the subway (my stop doesn't have a worker on duty - ever; so you have to pay with either a monthly pass or coin tokens).
Arrive at work approx 0635 and frantically run around trying to keep track of the 6 different patients I was assigned for 13 hours, making only a few medication/patient errors along the way. On the upside there were free cookies and cider at work today! But thennnn I ate cookies until my belly hurt :(
Get to the gym around 8:25pm, an hour late for my spin class, so I did 30 mins of spinning/running on my own (to try and burn off all those cookies).
Annd I'm losing my voice because I've come down with yet another cold - I believe this is # 4 or 5 for this year - an all time new record for me. I never used to get sick....I'm not sure if its nursing with it's strange hours, lack of sleep, caring for sick people day in and day out ect or triathlon with it's long hours and could-be-better nutrition. Either way, I'm sure my body wouldn't mind a few extra hours of sleep and a handful of vitamins. mmmmzzzzzz.
Tomorrow will be better. Taking a sick day :)
