First Philly

Friday was a very successful day for me! I got a job offer (I'll give more details once it's official) and Kim and I signed the lease on our new apartment. It's official! We're beginning our lives in Philly! Click the picture below to enjoy the photos of our new apartment.

I Think She's Commenting on the Weather

Overheard at the hospital today.

Nurse: I think that Al Gore is on to something.

Sin Never Tasted So Sweet

Presently I am sitting in a chair, relaxing. At 8am on Saturday. Why? Because they're paying me! That's right I'm working. I'm doing a one-on-one which means I sit with a patient for 12 hours. And they were kind (or maybe crazy) enough to give me a laptop. And when given a laptop and nothing to do, I will always choose to update my blog. I have nothing to do because my patient is sleeping. Not because I'm a slacker. So don't even think it. My patient did ask me if he could go to Club Mystique though. So maybe my day will get more interesting...
