Scrubs - "oh yeah"

For Christmas this year I got the seventh season of Scrubs on DVD. For those of you who know me or even those who don't but read my blog - you know how I love me some Scrubs! I haven't had a lot of time to watch but tonight Skip went to play hockey and I thought.... "this is my chance!" So I put in the DVD and was preparing the house to be nice and comfy while the theme music was playing in the background. WOW. This one tune brought back so many memories...

It was the worst of times, or so I thought. I was going through the big D and living alone for the first time in 8 years. I was so use to having someone by my side at all times that I struggled with being alone without feeling extremely lonely. I couldn't sleep so I started watching TV at all hours of the night and I found that at the time, you could watch Scrubs for at least 3 hours straight if you changed the channel. So I did. And when that wasn't enough... I bought season one... and two... and three. I had a new love, I wasn't lonely. It was Scrubs.

I had four things that got me through that terrible year and I am sure you can guess the first. Scrubs. Also was Emily, Skippy and Ambien! One night I mixed all four and OH MY GOD. From that night on I felt a special connection with all of them. I knew Emily would be my friend forever when she laughed her ass off at me. I knew Skip was more than a friend when he offered to call my Mom - in Utah, from Minnesota. And I knew that because of Ambien I was now a cast member of Scrubs.

Today I am thankful for that terrible time because I am in a much better place, I can sleep without ambien, I still have Em to laugh at me and Skip gives me so much love. And... I am still a cast member in Scrubs! Seven seasons on DVD and the eighth just starting on TV. I think that for Em, JD and Turk I will climb on my roof and shoot off a flare gun to celebrate!
