This weekend was not supposed to start out this way.
As a surprise for The Lawyer, I was actually going to whisk him away for a night or so. He puts up with incredibly boring weekends, in which I'm studying or distracted, and I figured that this weekend was a good one to remedy that. There was a great B&B on the Jersey Shore that looked amazing and while under the influence of 60-degree temps. last weekend, I almost bought a Groupon for it.
Alas, it's a good thing that I didn't, because in the course of a week, the temperature dropped to the 30s, The Lawyer got called to New York to litigate a big case with one of the partners, and I got sick.
I'm sure that the latter is nothing more than an evil medical school virus running amuck, but instead of coming over tonight to see me, The Lawyer texted that he'll probably just go straight home from Union Station tonight and drive out to Virginia tomorrow. Thus, the following text conversation (from the Amtrak train where he is) ensued:
The Lawyer: I'm going to snuggle you so much this weekend!
Me: Well, I'll tell my body that it best corral its contagiousness by tomorrow night then!
The Lawyer: Haha, get those macrophages working!
Haha...he said macrophages! And, he used it correctly in a sentence too! Next thing I know, he's going to be talking about lysosomes and oxidative burst reactions.
I heart him.

Funny how words rub off on those we hang with. Same thing happens with my husband.
Of course, there is an initial blank look when I first introduce "new words" and he doesn't assimilate them quite as appropriately as your Lawyer....
At this rate, you can actually count spending time with him as time studying. It can be good for dating! On my surgery clerkship my girlfriend took to asking me questions from NMS so that I could justify spending time (on video chat) with her every night.
CC- That's OK, the learning curve has to be slow, especially when you're not using the words in your daily life. Good thing The Lawyer doesn't expect me to use legal words with him! I would definitely fail at that!
PAIT- Is it bad that I find your comment comforting? It's unfortunate that I am at this particular stage of med. school, but he seems to be making the most of it (and learning things, clearly!). I love that your girlfriend was kind/motivated enough to ask you NMS questions on your surgery clerkship!
Awwww. What a sweetie.
Yay Lawyer!
It was totally hot when my husband made a tax joke after helping me study for my Federal Income Taxation final.
Haha!! Somebody found her match ;)
SD- I know! I like the smart ones.
CM- Finally, someone understands! My study partner laughed at me when I told her that I found it attractive when The Lawyer said intelligent things/did lawyer things in my presence. The fact that he can now talk about medical things takes it to a whole new level :)
Jancy- Indeed, dearest. Indeed.
Awww...he's a snuggler! I love that! I hope you're better by now.
This is my first time reading your blog, and I LOVE it! I'm curious: do the people you are dating know about/read your blog? Sometimes, I want to write about things pertaining to my relationships on my blog, but I never do because I know the people they are about will see them, so it just feels weird, haha.
Anyway, love your blog. I, too, am an MSII and studying for boards, so I feel your pain. Best of luck to you!
IA- Yes, he IS a snuggler, but I'll keep him anyway :) And sadly, I'm not better yet! He hasn't gotten any snuggling for the weekend yet, because sicky face is still in town. :(
MS2- Aww, thanks for reading! So, the casual dates that I have written about do NOT know that I have a blog. I always change pseudonyms and a few details, but in general, the storyline is exactly as it happened. Since "The Lawyer" is a real boyfriend, he does know that I'm writing a blog about him, but he doesn't read it. I always tell him what I've written, though, since our mutual friends read. His opinion on the blog is that if he's going to be embarrassed about a factual account of something that happened between us, then it's his own fault. So, he's OK with me writing about whatever I want to. I do need to give him another name, though. "The Lawyer" is so impersonal. I obviously didn't expect that things would be going in such a serious direction with him.
macrophage. that is a ridiculously cool word. hope you're feeling better!
Don't change his name!!!! I LOVE that you still call him the "The Lawyer" It so sweet, I can just imagine you as an old married couple who refer to each other as "The Lawyer" and "The Doctor"
as in "would you like to come to dinner this Saturday?"
"I not sure let me as the lawyer..."
Mags- Thank you for the well wishes! I'm still a little sniffly, but surviving!
libertyRX- You are too funny. Just last night, I was thinking of a pseudonym for The Lawyer. I was going to go with something that was very old-school, Southern, and charming...just like him. :)
How about these?
"Daddy why did you marry mommy?"
"Because "The Doctor" was always teaching me new words. Now go to sleep"
Or
"How long have you been together?"
"Let me see.... I met "The Lawyer" when we were children but it didn't serious until later...."
I think those scenarios are charming :o)
It is a fun comic relief as well. I happen to like these witty and funny lawyer conversations.
