And the summer begins.....

Day 1 of Living at Home:

My summer plans include working at Baptist Hospital in Downtown Jacksonville as a Chaplain Intern in their Clinical Pastoral Education program. I won't be giving out any names or information about my internship and if I do talk about it will be very vague. The purpose of this summer's blog to is share my experiences of living at home and maybe a little about my hospital work.

So here we go.....

I have moved home to live with my parents for the summer. My sister is also living here. I have been downgraded to the guest room which isn't too shabby. With a big TV and cable and a cozy pull out bed plus wireless internet I'm not too broken up about it. My dad is retired so he works around the house all day on various projects and apparently makes my sister coffee and lunch every day. I can't say I'm not looking forward to that.

Dad found out today that I have 3 weeks until my internship starts and I now have a list of things that I could possibly do in that time. Apply for a new credit card, deposit my income tax check, get coffee ground at Starbucks and visit grandma are just a few options. So far I have: drank a Diet Coke, taken a shower and unpacked my clothes. I'm not promising miracles here.

Here is the thing about living at home: my parents are pretty awesome. They're laid back and they do their own thing and are happy as clams. They don't really care what I do or how I spend my time and they require very little of me. Plus, I love being at home. My sister is awesome and we have a lot in common, my cats are here and my parents have a pretty sweet set up. Home is not a bad place to be.

More later when I'm actually doing something with my time.
