News of the Day

1. I got weighed today - down another 4.1 lbs, for a total of 26.5 lbs in 3 weeks. 2. I have a part-time job lined up, as soon as we can arrange malpractice insurance. One of my colleagues from the hospital is swamped with patients, and invited me to help her out half-time. Since her practice is in one of the Shore towns (and is the only adult medical practice on the island), she gets even busier in the summer, and said she will probably want me full-time by then. If things work out well, she said, by the end of the summer we may be talking partnership. For now, at the rate she quoted me, and forgetting about the excess taxes I've been paying, I'm expecting a $600-700 per month post-tax pay cut. I can absorb that for a couple of months! Once I go to full time, we'll renegotiate to a salary, instead of an hourly rate.

1. Congrats on your weight loss!! 2. Congrats on the job prospect. Good luck and I hope it does lead to a partnership for you. That would be fantastic. XOXOXO, Sharyn
