Daily Grind

So here I sit, at a local coffee shop in Missoula on my day off (Wednesdays).  I don't have internet where I'm staying for the next few months, so I use this day to pay bills, send emails, etc.  My work is going great - finally got my MT license so I can officially see patients.  I'm working with a really fun team of co-workers and I think this job is going to be a great fit for me.  I have about 10 days until my big manual therapy test!  Yikes!!  And to top it off, I have a sinus infection/cold that decided to set in a couple of day ago.  The plus side of my test is that Damon is going to come and meet me in Knoxville for the weekend, so it will break up our 8 weeks apart.  

This past week in Vansant, there was a tragic stand off/shootings within walking distance of our house.  Damon saw a helicopter land right next to our house, which is amazing considering we are sandwiched between two very close mountains.  A man that was stealing auto parts from a salvage yard shot 4 deputies and ended up killing two of them.  Such a sad story, and really a tragic event in our small town.
