“Oh my God! I’m so sorry. Your friend Jenny brought some things in from her restaurant awhile ago. She said the fridge in your room is full, so I told her I’d put it in the fridge in the nurses’ lounge. I completely forgot to bring it with me. Tell you what, if you want to go take a shower or something I can bring it in to you in a little bit.”
I thought about protesting, but then I figured that it’d be more polite to let her make some room in the nurses’ fridge instead of making more room in mine. I gave her a nod and went to take a shower.
Ten minutes of scalding water later, I was dressed in clean clothes and watching a rerun of SportsCenter, waiting for Charlie’s segment to air. It was from yesterday, but I hadn’t had a chance to see it yet.
He was good. They’d been letting him sit in at the anchor desk when his segment was recorded, so I got to see him in talking baseball and other sports with some of his coworkers. He looked really happy, although I could see the dark circles under his eyes. I sighed. It seemed like everyone was exhausted lately.
The nurse brought the food in after about half an hour. “Gemma’s going to be back tomorrow, I think,” she told me. I nodded, not knowing what to say. I just took the food and went to the little microwave in the room.
There was a vegetarian stir-fry in the bag, along with a small pasta salad with a marinated chicken breast. There was also a note from Shane, Jenny and Helena, stating that they’d be by later that night, and that if I didn’t eat the food they were going to get one of their buff gay waiters to come kick my ass because it would make all three of them too tired.
I smiled at their weirdness and heated up the stir-fry. I got a bottled water out of the mini-fridge and ate pretty fast, because I realized I was actually pretty hungry after all. When I was done, there wasn’t a whole lot for me to so. I looked in on Alice, but she was sleeping pretty peacefully so I didn’t go in the room. I didn’t feel sleepy, exactly, but all my muscles were aching and my thoughts were a little disjointed, so I knew that both Alice and the nurse had been right and that I was exhausted.

MT, you continue to do a beautiful job with their communication, deep understanding of each other and immense love for each other. It’s encouraging know that A had some limited movement . It was great to have Jenny and Shane there helping out D to understand what troubled A. Also felt very positive with their phone conversation. “An upgraded version of Jenny’s shed” , lmao. Oh, please let D rest longer. I do not want to see getting sick. Thank you for this update and remember school comes first.
No: I would not want to look at Betty all day in court. Woo hoo! What a great end to the week to get a new chapter from you!! It’s wonderful how the girls have such a close connection that they are able to overcome the communication issues. I laughed out loud at this: “…if I didn’t eat the food they were going to get one of their buff gay waiters to come kick my ass because it would make all three of them too tired.” You are doing a great job with the beginnings of Shenny. Poor Alice — it must be so hard for her to write about those things. I can see where she would be “off” and not want Dana to read it. I am so glad Alice liked the new office — of course, how could she not? I hope Dana gets a little more than the two hours sleep. Those hospital vigils can be so draining. Excellent chapter, as usual, MT!! Thank you so much!!!
Whoa! That was a pretty deep chapter. I have to echo most of MaGoose said…communication issues, the buff waiter, Alice dealing with the writing. Great stuff, it just shows us all how much they are REALLY meant to be together. Thanks A LOT for another outstanding chapter.
