Funky Town

Apparently I was there and didn't even realize it. I went to a spouse party to celebrate September birthdays. I was talking to some new friends and they wanted to know how I was adjusting. Most days I stay at home waiting for Sam. I was diagnosed by my fellow spouses with funk. I tried to dispute it, but it is true. I was in a funk. I talked to my mom about this awhile back; I am not homesick. (I think that kinda shook her up.) Sure, I miss things... I miss fast food. (I would pinch a baby for some Rosa's, Chick-fil-a, Harrigans, Abuelo's, or McDonalds.) I miss my friends and family and the convenience of seeing them whenever I please. I am home though- Sam is my heart. All those months apart, I wasn't complete. I missed him so much. So why the funkiness? I can't pinpoint it. Perhaps it is because my life has been shook up. I am totally out of my element. Anywho, I believe it is over now.

I have been accepted as a Standardized Patient. Basically I am a pretend patient for the medical students. Training starts Friday and I am excited that I get to help. Thursday is the RSO (Ross Spouse Organization) bake sale. I am going to make Cake Mix Cookies. I love that recipe from Heloise! I am making a white cake mix cookies with walnuts and dark chocolate. I hope they turn out okay. Jacki, who has been an absolutely wonderful friend, opened up her full size kitchen to me! Yea! I don't have to bake them in a toaster oven! (By the way, I did make brownies in it already. They took forever!) Thursday is also when I am hosting Grey's night at our apartment. Last week it was just me and Monique (she is also here for the first time and her boyfriend is third semester too). It was fun! I am going to open it up to as many spouses who want to cram into my bedroom and watch on my tiny tv. Overall, I am going to be more social.

Tomorrow is Sam's birthday- HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE!!!
