I am sitting here with my good friend Sam who is 6 years old. Sam is Dr. Zook's son and was adamant about helping me write my blog! Explaining the concept for a "blog" to a 6 year old was a little bit difficult however, he's quite the existentialist and picks up on things rather quickly. Right now he is currently talking to my Ravens pillow pet and telling me that his stuffed pet tiger, Logan, said that, "You are the best Amanda in the world". I am incredibly grateful to have such high esteem from a stuffed tiger. Sam is very concerned about Edgar's (my pillow pet's) diet. He wants to make sure that Edgar is well nourished and gets along with Logan.
On Saturday morning, we woke up and Sam, Dr. Zook and I went to karate. Sam showed us his moves and he is quite the Jackie Chan. After that, we came home and immediately got to work on the house. Saturday was what I would call a Renaissance day. Susan and I did everything from helping to build a deck, doing electrical work in the bathroom, installing molding in various rooms of the house, to beginning to organize the garage. I have become quite the wiz with a shop-vac. We worked form 8:00AM-2:30AM in the morning. Needless to say, we were pretty beat but Sam's snoring kept us up all night! (Sam denies that he snores)
After falling and hurting my knees walking UP stairs on Friday, I now have welts the size of grapefruits on both of my shins. They're ripening nicely and turning a beautiful blueish purple. Thank God I wear pants to work most days. Sam spent his days playing in the pool down the hill from Dr. Zook's house in his grandparents' backyard. He's quite the deep-sea-kiddie-pool diver.
Today after a slightly shorter workday, we went to see the movie "Brave". I was so happy to finally see a Disney character who looks similar to me! I've already decided that I'm going to be her for Halloween this coming year. Sam just asked me if I would be around for Halloween and when I told him no he said, "COME ON!" I'm disappointed I will not be with him on Halloween too. Pixar has an uncanny ability to make me cry in every single one of their movies. I don't want to give anything away, but I was bawling quite loudly hoping the mother bear would change back into a human.
Tomorrow is my first day of work with Dr. Zook. I'm so excited to work with patients again and I'm sure I will have some great stories. Susan and I plan to continue the deck tomorrow so I'm getting a multidiscipline internship in construction and medicine. Sam says that, "Can we be done blogging now? I really wanna be done now...." So I suppose it's time for me to sign off because Sam says so!
Until Next Time,
~Wacko Jacko~
