Busy but nice

Yesterday was a much busier day than the past few work days. I actually got to be on the floor instead of sitting. It was crazy in the morning, settled down around lunch just to get all crazy again at the end. A perfect work day, actually. I like it to go by fast. I like to run around but get a breather. Plus I burn more calories and I don't really get a choice in it ;).


Burned 2835!

Deficit of 1515. I don't like having such a high deficit but I just wasn't that hungry
For some reason this made me laugh, the only thing in a size extra small I will ever wear, even when I reach goal.

At work yesterday we had a patient that loves me. When this patient first came to the hospital a few years back they were not the nicest person and I had to sit with them a lot. This patient eventually became a much nicer person after their health issues got worked out. So every admission after that this person would apologize for being so mean, especially to me. And it was (and is) kinda sweet. It's nice to feel appreciated. Yesterday was this person's birthday so the kitchen made the patient a cake. Well actually they took a packaged Bundt cake and decorated it with fruit and whipped cream. I'm not big into sweets but Bundt cakes are amazing! Especially the red velvet. What's not amazing is the insane amount of calories in one little cake. Literally a days worth. So when this patient insisted I have a piece of their cake, I didn't want to say no.This patient wants to make up so badly how they treated me (totally not their fault, just fyi) and their whole family was there smiling and anxiously looking at me.  So I took a very tiny sliver and enjoyed every bit. Turns out I had nothing to worry about because I was way over my deficit. This whole moment made a busy day even nicer.

The cake before we dug in. I did get a blueberry and a few slivers of strawberry. How cute is this though?!
