This is very exciting to me, actually. Last weekend was physically and emotionally exhausting and I haven't had so much of the relaxation lately. To add to it, this weekend I have several excuses to be a slug. First, I am dogsitting Wally, who is probably my favorite living creature:
He's grown up since this picture, but he's still a little walking stuffed animal. We will spend all weekend cuddling and spooning and rubbing his tummy, and I can NOT wait til the snuggling begins.
Wally Full-Size
This is Wally's idea of heaven:
No, really, he lets you hold him like that. For HOURS.
Excuse number two: (turn away guys!!) I will be cramping like mad, and the sofa will be my friend.
Anyway, one of the things that has made me laugh really hard this week is that Chris told me he had bought me some "Annie reinforcements" to eat in his and Cary's apartment while I'm with Wally. Cut to me arriving and seeing that on the counter are, among other things, two boxes of Kraft's Macaroni and Cheese and a box of Junior Mints. I love that this is how he sees me.
At first I thought I'd feel guilty about eating these offerings. Recently I've been trying to be super healthy. Working out and eating well--no processed foods here! And I'm seeing results. Pants are looser, pot belly is smaller. Despite all this, today I had a patient ask me if I was having a boy or a girl. W.T. F. An empire waist does not equal maternity top, people!!! But in a way I'm appreciative. Because after hearing that I figured, bring on the boxes!!
Seriously. A girl has a right to a weekend spent in her pajamas hugging a dog and eating candy and artificially orange pasta. Especially when her patients think she's pregnant and her love interests remain resolutely UN-interested even though she's skinny and really trying hard to tune down the social awkwardness.
So. With that said, Wally likes to lie like this:
And this weekend I will be joining him in that position, and I am proud of it.
Hope you all enjoy your weekend too!!
