Do you know what these are?
These are the only type of dates that the Zadge has had in the past few months. But that’s all about to change.
See, the Zadge had to go see her internist yesterday because the prescription for her asthma inhaler had run out and the office makes you come in to see the doc if it has been more than a year since your last visit.
Which was okay with the Zadge because she loves her doc, who is super smart, and funny, and super positive. He was ranked the Top Doc in Denver this year. And he’s younger than the Zadge and happily married with kids, so don’t get any ideas.
Anyhoo, Doc greeted the Zadge warmly and complimented her that she looked “great, really great.” They went over some of her recent blood work and he told the Zadge that she was “super fit and in perfect health.”
Then he asked her if she was dating anyone. The Zadge replied that the only dates she had of late were the kind you buy in the produce section. Doc then asked, “Why? You are so attractive and fun!”
The Zadge replied, “It’s hard out here for a spinster.”
Doc said, “Well, I have someone I’d like to set you up with. A friend of mine who is also a patient.”
WHAT??!!!!!!
Doc whipped out his phone and showed the Zadge a photo. Of a nice-looking, 43-year old man. A Microsoft employee, who is as outdoorsy as the Zadge. And taller than the Amazon Spinster. And who completely remodeled his entire, apparently beautiful, house by himself! The Zadge was hooked.
So Doc Matchmaker is giving Handy Man the Zadge’s contact info and the Zadge may, in fact, have a real live date soon!
Does she have a good doc, or what?
And, apropos of nothing, the Zadge wandered down to the Tattered Cover (best bookstore ever) today and bought this:
Lady Zadge could not resist, since the book was written by the wife of the show’s writer, and has all sorts of inside scoop, and history about the era, and how the female stars do their hair:
The Zadge is so excited to read her new book that she cancelled her happy hour plans to get home sooner and crack it open.
And, yes, maybe she should be seeing a shrink instead of an internist.
Wooo hoo this is very exciting!
what a great doc indeed.
Keep us informed
My doctor and I surf the internet for vacation ideas (oh so briefly) and she also approves of vodka in the freezer. I have to say, I’m impressed with your cool doc!
I must have this doc’s number.
Immediately.
And I can’t wait to hear allllll about it!! You lucky thing!
I want your doctors number too! My doctors all play golf with my dad.
That lady on the fight page of your book in the second picture? She played Mirilla in the Anne of Green Gables movie, which may have been a Canadian phenomenon but was really popular back in the day. Either way, good actrice!
I could not figure out why she looked so familiar!!! it’s Marilla – I love Anne.
Wow! Good going on both fronts! Loved your doctor-matchmaker story and that book looks fantastic!
Sounds like a good match! That’s what I call a good doctor.
I must get that book! Looks like a good way to hold off the Downton Abbey withdrawal a bit longer.
Your doctor wrote a prescription for a date; fantastic!
Your doctor obviously believes in caring for the whole patient
What a diffrence a year can make.
Yay for your doc! Can’t wait to hear what happens.
And Yay for your and your great score in finding that book!
OMG! I so am borrowing that book when you’re done with it! LOL
Seriously good doctor!! Can’t wait to hear about it!
Omg, I don’t know what I’m more excited about, your date or that book! I think he lured you into his office so he could set you up. I’m sure it was worth the co-pay. You said nice looking. Nice looking as he doesn’t look like the guy on the corner looking for some pocket change? Or nice looking like Matthew Crawley?
Your future date remodeled his house by himself?!?! Reason enough to mary that tall, outdoor-loving Microsoft man.
