you can't stop the beat

there's a catchy song from hairspray entitled, "you can't stop the beat." right now, i feel like my song is "you can't stop the smiling." i am feeling very giddy right now for quite a few reasons.
when i got home last night, after over 12 hours at the hospital, i was happy. besides the long hours, it had been a good day, with the promise of more such days with my awesome nurse. molly had made me dinner and we watched "the office" together. lovely.

it was hard to get my tired brain to work on creating a packing list after that, but pack i must, for this weekend i am going camping with my beloved team camo. after i had packed some with plans to finish in the morning, it was time for bed. it had crept to almost midnight without me realizing it, and i knew i needed to climb underneath some covers. but then i got a text from martha, "are you still up?" thinking something was wrong, i called her and assured her that i was still up and of course she could come over. especially if she was "fast like a bunny" as she promised. i emerged from our room to tell molly that martha was coming over, and i wasn't sure why, but i was pretty certain it was serious. molly made the suggestion that maybe cash was here, which is why she was coming over. but as much as i have hoped, cajouled and bugged him to that effect over the past month, i had not fully allowed myself to believe that could be true. especially since, for that to be true, martha would have had to lied to my face. multiple times.

but apparently martha is a liar, because i had the privilege of hugging/attacking cash only a few minutes later, and grinning like an idiot as he and martha sat in my apartment for the next hour.

and now i am just plain giddy. i can't stop smiling, because cash is in oregon and team camo is going camping. aiyeeee!!!
