4th apartment
Yep. I'm writing from my 4th apartment since January! I haven't quite decided where I'll be next. Most likely, it still won't be home yet. I'm way having too much fun living in different places :). I love these month-to-month arrangements. Other than the constant move, there's not much new. I did promise someone that I'll cheer him on for the Mini-Marathon this Saturday. It looks like I'll be taking up running soon ;).

Aftershock
Most people here in Indiana have not experienced an earthquake. Today was their lucky day. At about 5:30 a.m. this morning, a 5.2 magnitude quake was felt in Indianapolis. I did not feel it. I was on overnight trauma call and was assisting a resident hold a patient down as he inserted a chest tube to drain blood from the patient's chest. The patient had significant hemothorax after being involved in a motor vehicle accident.
But later this morning, as I was trying to catch some sleep at my current apartment, I definitely felt the aftershock. At first, I wasn't sure if I were just dreaming. But yep, a 4.5 magnitude aftershock was recorded. This is perfect timing as next week I will be moving to our very own twin towers here. The two towers are the tallest residential buildings in Indiana, each with 30 floors. Imagine experiencing an earthquake while living there. That should be interesting ;).
