Hi all!!!! It’s good to be back amongst the living. Joe and I have been on a hunger strike for several weeks so I haven’t had the strength to blog (is it still a hunger strike if you eat those mini powdered doughnuts? I mean they ARE tiny). Anyhoo, let’s talk about what’s been going on in the halls of Seattle Grace!!
Okay what is UP with Meredith and Derek???? He has a girlfriend people, and her name ain’t Meredith. Okay, I thought the downfall of Meredith and Derek would coincide with the end of the world, or a housing bust, or I don’t know, something drastic like… Oh no. Like me going on a hunger strike. That basically is the end of the world. Holy crap! I brought on the demise of Mer/Der myself! I have to go call Joe and discuss.
But, my point is that I never ever thought I’d live to see the day when Meredith and Derek weren’t together. But, when Derek got off of the elevator this morning, the woman he was with wasn’t Meredith. The woman he kissed in front of EVERYONE wasn’t Meredith.
I was at the nurses’ station standing near Meredith and she tried to look away when that kiss happened. Well, she didn’t look away quickly enough. She saw the kiss and everyone saw the pain on her face before she looked away. The thing is, it’s so obvious that Meredith and Derek still have feelings for each other. The way he looks at her… yeah, they’re still in love. At least, in MY opinion they are. But truly, how long do you expect a man like Derek Shepherd to hang around? I heard that he bought a piece of land to build a house on. He wanted to build a house for Meredith, himself and their future children. Okay, a man doesn’t do that if he’s not ready to settle down. He’s ready. He wants to be married. He wants children. He wants to be with his true love for the rest of this life. And well, maybe there’s another “love” out there for him that wants the same things. Obviously, Meredith Grey doesn’t.
Meredith and Derek spent most of the day yesterday not talking. Derek was all business with her and would hardly look her in the eye but here’s why I know that they have feelings for each other: The next morning, after Derek and Rose shared a kiss, Meredith proposed the idea of a clinical trial and Derek just looked at her in that way only reserved for Meredith.
The question of the day was (I emphasize “WAS”) “are Rose and Derek doing it?” After Nurse Tyler overheard the conversation between Derek and Dr. Sloan in which Dr. Sloan was teasing Derek for NOT sealing the deal yet, I’d have to say “no” they’re not doing the deed yet. WHY NOT? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ROSE???? If I was in Rose’s position?? Let’s just say that Mr. Shepherd would be fighting me off every minute of the day. Listen, we girls usually “save it” for that special guy. For the guy we think is THE guy. Let me tell you, you can’t get any better than Derek Shepherd. He invented perfection. Yeah, yeah, I know he’s flawed and all that but LADIES, he is the entire package. I mean it. Well, maybe Rose wants to take her time. She IS the rebound girl afterall. And Meredith Grey? Well, she and Derek, they were THE couple. And everyone, including Rose, knows this. Meredith and Derek were like Sonny and Cher, Brad and Jen, Brad and Angelina, Ashford and Simpson… you get the point.
Let’s go back to the clinical trial. One would think that Meredith’s proposal is a way to spend some quality time with Derek. What do you think? I honestly think that saving lives IS important to her but I also think deep down, way down, she does want to have some time with her ex beau. I hear she’s seeing a therapist. Okay, you guys may be thinking, “Nurse Debbie, you’re going too far” because therapy is a very intimate, a very personal thing. I know. But seriously people, if you don’t want me in your business, then don’t see a therapist in your place of work is all I’m saying. Besides, we pass in the hall. My weekly appointment is immediately after hers.
So Meredith Grey is in therapy. She’s gone through a lot with her Mom’s death, her fake mom’s death, her near drowning… and kudos to her for working it all out. But, I bet Derek is the real reason she’s in therapy. Why isn’t she with him? THEY LOVE EACH OTHER. HE WANTS TO BE WITH HER. SHE LOVES HIM. Okay, so WHY aren’t they together? I’m sure it’s a question she asked herself and I’m sure, since he’s with someone else now, the question is on her mind all day, every day. I overheard her mumbling to herself in the locker room “stupid therapy, stupid problems, stupid have to work all of this stuff out so that I can be a normal human being…” Yeah, she’s got some things to work out.
Once she works this stuff out, will it be too late? Will it be too late to get Derek back if that’s what she wants? I don’t know. He and Rose looked mighty cozy. We’ll have to see. Let’s not hold our breaths though, because this saga of Meredith and Derek has been going on for a while now and there’s no telling how it will all end.
Well people, now that the hunger strike’s over, all my extracurricular activities involve eating. Time for some bacon and hash browns. Yes, it’s after midnight but Joe serves breakfast all day. Breakfast and beer. My kinda night!
