So today my California medical license arrived in the mail.  I thought it would never come!  I actually applied for it back in September of 2008 and since California has been in some financial trouble a lot of the state workers have been furloughed.  It was something of a bureaucratic nightmare trying to get the paperwork straightened out.  A word of advice for anyone applying for a California State medical license, start EARLY.   But after a lot of persistence and multiple calls, I can finally rest easier.

Actually, a lot of good news!  After 8 years of being away from home, it will be just 3 more months until I get to go home again.  Finally, My family will have to nag me about something other than being so far away.  LOL!  I’m sure they’ll find something.    Just kidding, I love you guys.   Anyway I got a job close to home and now all I have to do is find a nice apartment.  I even have some friends waiting for me there.  It feels like things are starting to come together.  I’m going to miss Pittsburgh a little.  I made some great friends here, but I sure do look forward to the good food in Cali.  Not that there aren’t good places to eat here.  I actually have a  list of restaurants to go to before I say farewell.
