Hospitable Neighbours

I live next to a hospital now. I live next to the emergency room of a hospital. Sometimes there are sirens to be heard, but not as often as I thought there would be and they are easier to ignore than you'd expect. Today the main noise emanating from the streets is men yelling 'HEY!'. The unpacking is done and the monotony of being jobless and poor is beginning to set in. It's sort of like being on a crappy vacation where there's nothing to do. Nonetheless, things are quite nice here and I'm happy to be sitting on my couch, looking out through my dirty windows at the imposing main tower of Vancouver General Hospital. It's a good place to be.
