The Hospital

Avery

As a natural homebody and not one for burning gas that I don't have to, I haven't been out that much since we got here. I go to the grocery store, the bank, and out to an interview (in the hopes of curing my terminal case of Unemployed) if I'm lucky enough to get one. About two weeks ago, I managed to land a job babysitting every now and then so I had no excuse but to go out. 

I found my way there, found my way to the school and kindergarten to pick the children up, and found my way back. On the way, I found the mall, a movie theater (I think), and several parks. 

Audrey and I went out this past weekend for haircuts and we found that and then the bank. 

I had an interview for nannying I managed to locate. 

Today I had a grand adventure looking for a Carl's Jr. in pursuit of fries. 

What do all of these incidents have to do with each other? Their location. 

Somehow I always end up back at the hospital. The apartment where I babysit? Across the street from the hospital. The bank? On the road to the hospital from the school. Interview? By the hospital. Carl's Jr? Also right by the hospital (I found it after driving all around the part of town I'm familiar with and took a turn that accidentally took me right back to downtown. Which is where the hospital is).

I have therefore come to the conclusion that all roads lead to the hospital. No matter where you are, no matter where you're headed, you'll end up at Sacred Heart Hospital. Sacred Heart is a beacon drawing you in. It is the center of gravity around which the rest of the city orbits. It draws all of Spokane in to itself. 

Despair if you aim to arrive anywhere else. You will always end up at the hospital. No matter what you do, no matter where you go, you cannot escape. Accept it now that this is your unalterable fate.
