Here is a two part entry. There’s a break in the post (scroll down) for the second topic, which was written later and about the birthday!
Ever since James, I’ve had my own crazy thing about coincidence. In my own little code way, I gave him the label of “130” (which originated from J130, now without the letter). Like Jim Carrey’s movie, The Number 23, I slowly found myself seeing this number everywhere. Part of it was, now that I designated meaning to this number, I will notice it more often when it’s there. But I still think a part of it is ridiculous how often I ran run into it. From clocks to all the little things. Exhibit A: closet opposite the girls bathroom I walked out of (taken last week)
Then there was Dave. There’s a lot more behind that one, but I just want to note how many more people I have met named Dave, and why the name is tormenting me (not devastating, but I can’t believe how often I encounter it nowadays).
- Dave C. from home (with a similar voice intonation, might I add)
- Dave Fry
- Dave Dry
- Dave Hayes
- Unique Hair Dave
- Temple Camera Lens Dave
- T-Mobile Dave
- THE Dave
- Walmart Security Dave
- Roomate’s Boyfriend Dave (David)
- Club Dave
- District Head of Rite Aid Dave
- District Head of Giant Dave
- Mom’s Nurse Dave…
- Foursquare Dave Dave
Kicker. Today I went in for an interview at Doylestown Hospital. Head of Operations (Chantel) decided to give me a tour of the place after a nice chat; first place I was brought was into the back.
Chantel: Jeanne, I’d like you to meet Dave.
Dave: Very nice to meet you. *shake hands*
Chantel: [describing some of the operations and then telling me about Dave some more and what he’s doing. Looking at NEJOM is what I saw.]On the way out of the back…
Dave: It was nice meeting you
Riiight. There’s got to be at least 3 more, but that’s what I have for now.
Today is Lenny’s 21st Birthday. 1. Happy Birthday. 2….idk
The whole presents thing was not easy. The one suggestion I did get was something I already got for him last year. I have a nice card, made him a Reese’s dessert cake and hung a Dora banner that says PARTY * FIESTA.
Tonight is also 2 other birthdays (Lisa and Matt) and the 3V3 Basketball Tourney. We’re leaving early to do birthday shenanigans, but now I’m feeling terrible. I just got back not too long ago, and Alex was sitting on the couch. She’s sick and very feverish. She’s not sure if she’s going to be able to go out and feels bad about it. I feel terrible not because I’m still sick myself (it’s the weirdest condition (set of conditions plural) ever) but because I was contagious.
Not sure how tonight will go. Physio exam Friday. Naked clin skills tomorrow.
