Time For Me...

It's been a long day. Work was especially hard, a few nurses are out with the flu, so I had double the patient load. I had gotten used to just caring for "Emma", "Ted", and "Mary". Adding four other patients in makes things much more difficult. I had to make sure everyone had ample care and attention. I had hoped to be able to spend some more time with "Emma", but it just wasn't happening today. By the time my shift was over, I was exhausted. As I walked into my apartment building, I saw the most beautiful vase of orchids. I thought what a nice touch, to whomever decided to bring them in today.

As I was heading for the elevator, the desk clerk stopped me, telling me the orchids had been delivered for me earlier in the day. I was so thrilled! Orchids are my favorite flower. I couldn't imagine who would've sent them? Bobby has no idea I love orchids, so I assumed it must've been my mother or sister. I didn't check the card immediately. As I entered my apartment, I sat the vase down on my dining room table. They were so beautiful, I cleared my centerpiece and put them there. Perfect. I figured I should at least check the card to see who to thank. As I opened it, I was in shock. They're from Bobby.

How did he know? The card was short and sweet, "Beauty deserves Beauty- see you tomorrow night- Bobby". That was the sweetest thing I believe anyone has ever done for me. He's such a good man. I've really been looking forward to going to the dance tomorrow night. I've tried so hard to keep my emotions in check, and play all of my cards right. I know he isn't sure about me. I don't know where things will go with us. I know what I want, but only time will tell what plays out. I'm taking it slow, because he's a complicated man, there's a lot I still don't know- a lot to learn.

Why am I sitting here dwelling and worrying about things I don't have any control over? What will happen will happen- that's life. I need to just slow down and enjoy the ride. Susan called, she's on her way over. She and Ethan are going to the dance as well tomorrow night. We're going over everything to make sure we're ready. Maria is coming over later to do a pratice run on Susan's hair, she's still undecided as to what she wants to do. Time is running out- we'd better have it together tonight!
