They’re back! They’re back from vacation!!!! Seventeen days. I’ve lived for SEVENTEEN days without knowing what went on with Cristina and Burke. Meredith and Derek. Lewy the janitor and the woman who sells the mini-sausages in his neighborhood on the street corner (okay, so I’m a little desperate for gossip). Seventeen days and they’re back AND I still don’t know. Why? Because NO ONE is talking!
Cristina is acting cool as a cucumber. She’s not fooling anyone. I know. I know what it feels like to be left. It’s the night of the prom and you’re standing there in your teal dress. Your hair in a bee-hive that took hours to craft. You stand there and wait. And he doesn’t come. Damn you Andrew.
Well, anyway. My point IS that pain doesn’t go away in seventeen days. It just doesn’t. I overheard Derek tell Cristina in the nurses’ station today that Burke wouldn’t be back. He gave his resignation. We all knew that of course. I was here when he came in to talk to the Chief. He looked…different. He looked sad yet free.
Well, I tell you as cool as Cristina has been all day, when Derek told her that Burke was gone for good, she…it took a split second to for her to compose herself. Yeah, she’s quick, that Cristina. But in that split second, I saw the heartbreak. She’s heartbroken. Even the coolest surgery won’t squelch that pain right now. And, to go through in front of everyone who witnessed it….I don’t know. I guess I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, not even Cristina.
Okay! Okay! Okay! So what with Lexie Grey? She’s been stumbling and bumbling around all day long and I’ve caught her not once, not twice but THREE TIMES watching Meredith Grey from afar. I mean, shouldn’t we call security or something???? She has spent most of the day stalking her.
BUT THAT ISN’T THE JUICY PART OF THIS SAGA!!! Okay. Nurse Olivia told Nurse Tyler who told Chef Jorge who told me while he expertly whipped up my lunch of fried zucchini and tofu with bits of bacon (I’m dieting) THAT Lexie Grey was the girl in the bar that Derek was flirting with a couple of weeks ago!!!!
Can you believe this???? A Grey is in love with a Shephard who flirted with another Grey in a bar. And this Grey and this Shepherd work together. They met in a bar first, and discovered they work in the same place. Just like the other Grey. Interesting. Very interesting… Apparently, Grey (Meredith that is) got her scrubs in a bunch as she told Shephard “I’M the girl in the bar” before stomping away. Hmmmm…..What next?! What next?!
Dude. I heard we had a patient who was eating almost EVERYTHING in sight today. Yes, I mean clamps, cotton balls, and change. He had pica. Honestly- I think I may have pica too because I can’t seem to stop eating (those tofu bacon bites DID NOT satisfy) either except MY pica only requires me to eat little chocolate caramels. And doughnuts. And chips and salsa. And oh, those itty bitty corndogs.
Anyway, it’s the end of the night and I saw Derek and Meredith enter the on call room. It was weird. They went in looking so sad. But, they came OUT of the on call room, looking so satisfied! Wonder what they were doing in there for an hour??? I know it was an hour because I dropped my pencil outside of the door and it took me a very long time to pick it up. It’s my back. I should really see a doctor about it…
It was an interesting day. A lot of activity the first day back to school but that’s how it usually is right?
What in the world???? George O’Malley just ran past me like there’s a fire!!! Where is he going? He’s been odd today. Especially with Izzie (who is a special kind of odd because she spent the entire day in the back of a pick-up truck with a half dead deer) [And – can I just voice for a moment – we treat people. Not road kill Just SAYNG.] He’s been blatantly ignoring her all day long. Like if she is walking in his direction, he scurries. It’s like they’re playing cat and mouse. There was one heated discussion in the stairwell today per Lewy. Hmmm…what is going on with them? And where is he going this time of night. Shouldn’t it be home? To his wife? His wife who wants to have his baby very soon? Maybe he IS going home. But that look on his face. It’s like…I don’t know. Like he realized something. I’m sure I’ll find out soon enough…
