Nurse K on the night shift posts signs all over a patient's room, intercepts the breakfast tray, and yells if she has to in order to keep people NPO.
If I'd have followed her lead, I would have remembered today was the day for all those tests...that required me to be NPO....arrrgh!
Better luck tomorrow...

Snack attack
I like chips and salsa anyway, but why on earth did someone make the chips healthy enough that you'd want to eat the whole entire bag? Now if they were calorie-free...ah! They were really that good!
At least, I wasn't NPO all day for some labs like the older couple over at the Saintarama Internal Medicine office today. True, Mr. and Mrs. Smith (not their real names) could afford to miss a meal, but be NPO until 3PM? I know their doc (aka Wild Pants) and trust me, if I had had time, I'd have loved to a) see if he was wearing the really weird golf pants today (it is Wednesday) and b) asked him if he had heatstroke, making his people NPO for so long.
Now, I'll just have to get back to working on my photo project I delayed one too many times. Got a deadline now, so I have to make it before school starts.
That is all, so resume snacking. More from the Hotel later!
