Sunday morning, Donna awoke to the sun shining bright in her face. Normally, she would've just closed the drapes and gone back to bed but under the circumstances of the weekend, she decided to get a shower and go shopping. After all, isn't that what a woman does when she loses everything, she goes shopping!
While Donna was getting a shower, she remembered a better time when it was she and John that went crazy shopping in Seattle. It had been almost two years ago now. John had celebrated his getting the high rise building job by spending the weekend in Seattle with Donna for some heavy duty shopping.
John and Donna flew in on a Friday night and woke up ready to go early Saturday morning. They quickly dressed and went downstairs to the Gym. After a vigorous workout, they went for an early morning swim in the heated pool. They got out of the pool, dressed quickly and went to the hotel to undress, John was grabbing at Donna and her clothes in the elevator so anxious to make love to his beautiful wife. After their lovemaking, John had a wanted for the two of them to take a shower together. Donna just laughed and said "Save it for later loverboy, we've got some shopping to do!" She already knew where showers with John ended and they were running late to go shopping.
Whenever they shopped, Donna might find something she wanted to buy, John, on the other hand, would go to every store and find something he liked but usually end up going back to the first store and buying the first thing he looked at. Still Donna loved the man and had for some time.
Donna and John had their attire for heavy shopping: tennis shoes, comfortable clothing easy to get in and out of quickly while trying on clothes, and sunglasses. Yes, they were prepared for some heavy duty shopping!
Shopping has been fun but it was long and tiring but they both got what they needed and then they charged up to the hotel room, threw the packages on the couch and ran and fell on the down on the bed at the same time laughing! John said "Are we a glutton for punishment or not?"
After remembering the fun weekend she and John had almost two years ago, Donna wasn't sure if she still wanted to go shopping but since she didn't want to go
anywhere else and definitely not back to the hotel, she decided to go ahead and shop for just a little while.
Four hours later, Donna had shopped to the point of exhaustion. She had found some beautiful Italian leather boots and heels. She smiled to herself as if she was gone out and shot and bagged the boots and heels herself. She was do glad she had hung in there with her shopping.
Donna went to two or three more shops and found some accessories, a purse, some cute dresses, and jeans; and didn't even think about her surprise this weekend until she headed back to the hotel!
After she got to her room in the hotel, She changed unto something comfortable and laid down for a nap, when the phone rang. From all the other calls that she had the last couple of hours, she knew it was either John or Deanna and she didn't want to speak to either of them ever again If she had a choice.
After her nap, Donna decided to try the lobster she had left over from the night before and some more wine. Strangely enough, it was better than it has been the day before.
Later she packed, checked with the Airlines to confirm everything was set for her flight the next morning and called Her nurses to get a quick update on happenings at the hospital.
JoAnn answered "Surgical nurses station, Ms, Layman speaking.
At the sound of JoAnn's voice, Donna's voice cracked and JoAnn immediately knew something was wrong. Donna had always been the heart and strength of the surgical nurses team but this time she needed some strength herself. Right then, JoAnn was called on the intercom and had to make a quick retreat to a patient's room that was coding. Got to go Donna! I'll have to call you after I get off tonight. You know I am up late anyway and we can talk then."
