I've been listening to Indian music this afternoon while I study. Only problem is, it makes me crave mattar paneer and kheer.

I just saw a blurb that said, "Fruitcake was first made in ancient Egypt and was considered essential food for the afterlife." That explains everything! We're not actually supposed to eat it while we're alive!

R* and I went on a lovely date Friday night. To celebrate R*'s birthday, we went out to dinner at Perche'No for delish Italian food (including a dessert that involved miniature crepes filled with Nutella!). And then we went over to the Pacific Northwest Ballet to see a program of 4 modern dance pieces. We had a fantastic time. I was sooooooo tired by the time we got home - I had been up late the night before writing a care plan, then was at the hospital for clinical from 6:45 to 12:30, then had rushed to campus for a lecture on palliative care from 1:30-3:00. I did crash for about 45 minutes before we left for dinner, but it wasn't enough!

This weekend I spent the entire time parked in front of the computer finished my nursing process paper, writing a paper about nursing care of dying children, log entries on various clinical stuff, a midterm self-evaluation... However! After turning in all that stuff today, here's what I've got left for this quarter:

19 days of class/clinical
3 exams
4 quizzes
3 nursing process papers (and I have to pass just one of them!)
1 final exam

This is totally doable! Especially since Thanksgiving break will occur in the middle of it, and I will have 5 days in a row away from school. (We're out of school Wed-Friday that week.)

We already had a visit from the lead 3rd quarter instructor to give us registration forms and clinical choices for winter quarter. The choices for clinicals are two evenings a week (2:00-10:30) at Harborview, or two morsnings a week starting at 6:45 at Stevens Hospital in Edmonds. I put down Harborview as my first choice - mostly because I would really, really like to have a break from early morning clinicals. Also, the evenings clinicals are on Wednesday/Thursday, which would leave me free on Fridays to do stuff like clean house or shop for groceries. Or sleep.

Now watch, since I've expressed a preference, I'll be going to Stevens for sure. :P

Eggnog latte? Check.
Hot apple cider? Check.
Fire in the fireplace? Check.
Fuzzy socks? Check.
90 days of rain? Uh... in progress.

The first 5 almost make up for the last one.

Eat This Diet

Interesting idea. We're trying to get back to watching our diet and losing weight again - following this plan would remove a lot of the mental effort.

101 Cookbooks

I think I should take a hint from this site and make myself cook from my cookbooks! (I don't have 101, however.)
