Still alive, still well. This time, with good news.

Things are chaotic as usual and as I said before I can't wait for things to get back to normal (or at least 'normal' by the Walker definition).

I do have the joy of saying I have a job lined up for after graduation. I am just thrilled. I didn't expect getting a job would be so quick and easy, I guess I owe this one to my expert networking skills. While I was at the Franciscan Gig Harbor clinic I fished around and networked with a person that work at a clinic in Silverdale as well. Anyways, one of the three techs from Silverdale got a job at Harrison and there was an opening. She mentioned me to her manager and within a few weeks they had me pulled out of the Gig Harbor clinic and I'm completing the final few weeks of my clinicals at the Surgery Center of Silverdale. After Chris and I return from our road trip home I'll start working - for money! Yay! It's physican owned so there is much more investment in the staff, the mangment is amazing. I had no idea people actually respected their staff this much, free lunch daily and a monthly massage. Not a bad deal. Many people are baffled at my decision to work at a same day surgery center over a busy hospital, but I have a list of reasons why (at the top of the list - no call, no weekends, no holidays or 3am traumas. amen.) and I'm confident it's a good decision for me and Chris. The days go fast and the work is fulfilling and rewarding. And I can barely argue a 20 minute commute.

Some misc happenings around here.

Bear and Chris were Skyping

All that household guarding warrants a pillow at night, right?

Taking advantage of the sunny fall days in Port Gamble.

And afternoons at the beach (Point No Point). Mt Rainier was on my right and Mt Baker on my left. It's a rough life out here :)

I couldn't find the cat the other night... This was not the first place I checked...
Anyways. Not much else besides that. Bear and I are holding the fort down. I just cleaned this place within an inch of it's life. I dare Martha Stewart to try and find a speck of dirt. Try me.
