And now ladies and gentlemen, for her final farewell performance: The Sun

After weeks of rain and clouds and temperatures in the low 50's during the day... the Sun has decided to pay Portland one last visit before spring. (hopefully i am lying) Today was bright and 60 degrees - with happy news on the breeze. I GOT AN APARTMENT!!!! Finally! I was starting to enter panic mode because my subletter is coming back on the 4th and no one wanted to rent to me since I didnt have a job. yucks. The wonderful woman for whom I babysat 3 days agreed to call me her nanny- it worked! To top it off, I got a job interview at Planned Parenthood - where I have been volunteering recently - this Monday so everyone wish me luck. I also went for a long, kind of scary-because-I'm-not-used-to-riding-on-busy-streets bike ride with my friend Jenn to enjoy the lovely weather. Man I thought I was going to lose a lung from breathing so hard in the cool air. It was awesome, then I had a burger. Yeah that's right. A cheeseburger.
Some other updates since I managed to neglect posting for a whole month:
-I have been a doula for TWO births already!
-I spent 4 hours at the county juvenile detention center on a tour to see if I wanted to work there. (It was cool, seems rewarding, but I'm a scaredycat)
-I've spent countless hours playing Wii at Jenn's house over the past two weeks. Probably more than all my previous video game hours combined.
