Double Time

Boy, did 5:15 come quickly this morning. I think I am a little sleep deprived and with a move and a new job on the horizon, lack of sleep may be the new norm. Giving up Coke will not make my lack of sleep any easier, in fact, I should be going through a caffeine withdrawal by Friday and lookout for cranky.

I don't think I ever worked on New Year's Day before and I must say it wasn't that bad. Sure, double time helps but I worked with a good crew on 2 West so it was actually a fun day. The hospital provided free lunch and supper, which was a nice gesture, although I would have preferred to have paid for my lunch and eat something I actually like.

We lost the house that we put a bid in on. The other buyer outbid us, and the worst part is that we did not give our best offer but tried to save some money and we lost out. I have no idea where I will be sleeping next Sunday night but it will not be in this house.

Nicole left tonight as she starts her new job tomorrow. She met me at work and we all went out for Chinese food and then she drove to her sisters for the night. The kids and I will go to our new city tomorrow and spend some more time looking for a home, preferably one where we can move in next week! I am leaning towards a funky looking A frame home close to the hospital, but only time will tell.

Time to go,
Michael
