I glance at my wall clock as I cross out the second to last item on my list, blowing a strand of hair out of my eyes. It's 6:58 and everything is nearly ready -- just gotta put some finishing touches on the makeshift snack bar I made in the kitchen. I stare longingly at the plastic bag of coasters that I made a few days before and hope everyone ( Read more... )

Izzy sat on the blanket to my right as I idly flipped through house listings in town and the surrounding area.  I didn't know what I wanted yet, and nothing had caught my eye.  The guy on the radio was right, it's a good time to buy a home, and with our lease expiring in two months--with no desire to renew it--it's about time I crack open one of ( Read more... )

[OOC: Open to all]

It was Saint Patrick's Day. Though every day is a fine day for a drink, JD had decided that we should throw a bit of a party down at the bar. I think he's just bored with being stuck at home every day still, going stir crazy. Which is why I agreed to this little party. And which wasn't set to stay little. Because I swear ( Read more... )

My usual rule is to wait until a couple is married before going on double dates; Perry and JD are the exception.  It was finally Friday, and that alone was enough reason to celebrate with cotton candy and corn dogs.  We pulled into the dirt parking lot, a little earlier than expected.  Turk had driven here fast, anxious to go on as many rides as ( Read more... )

I think JD was going stir crazy stuck at home every day. So when I'd offered to come by and pick him up on my lunch break, so he could hang out some at the hospital, I wasn't too surprised when he eagerly agreed. Of course, it was on one condition, which was that he wheel himself around rather than limp his way around. I didn't need him ( Read more... )

Today I've had the morning from hell.  There is a brand new mountain of paperwork on my desk, all the interns have had me do the procedures they haven't mastered yet, and on top of that they were out vanilla chai at Coffeebucks.  I really wanted that vanilla chai.  Oh, that and Kelso decided to give me attitude for clocking in four minutes late.  I ( Read more... )

On Fridays I looked forward to getting a few drinks and relaxing after a long week at the hospital.  However, Elliot was MIA, Jordan fell off the face of the earth--and what I can only assume was then into the pits of hell--and going to the bar alone is so tacky.  I quickly realized sitting at home by yourself wasn't that much fun either ( Read more... )

I wake up early Thursday morning, excited for Valentine’s Day. I’d thought about Carla’s present for what seemed like forever. We usually don’t do much for holidays but I wanted to get something for her and after about an hour online and two hours in the jewelry store I’d found the perfect present. But first, I was going to surprise her with ( Read more... )

I placed my tray gently on the table so I wouldn't spill food everywhere.  It was soup and frozen yogurt day--my favorite.  Turk was called down to the OR for an emergency surgery and Elliot was spending some time with Todd in an on call room.  JD was, of course, on medical leave.  There's nothing more depressing than eating tomato soup alone.  I ( Read more... )

The babysitter called the hospital at noon to tell me Izzy had been coughing all day and had a slightly elevated temperature.  I rushed home right away after leaving all my responsibilities to another nurse.  I still panic when something goes wrong with her.  I'm bouncing her on my hip as I stir the sauce for the enchiladas. I had dug the recipe ( Read more... )
