I think we can all agree tonight is a historic night. Regardless of how you feel about Obama I hope we are all inspired by the amazing turnout and the emotional investment in this election we have never seen before.
Today I was doing rounds at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. It is common to have many folks hanging out in the waiting rooms outside of the surgical ICU waiting for the "5 ...2 Recommendations8 Comments -
The scale is moving in the right direction and my weight loss plans seems to be working. I have relaxed on the diet yesterday because I was feeling a lot of stomach pain, so I hate a bit more but not too much.
