Every Thursday and Friday, since I was twenty-three, I've worked night shifts as a nurse- both for the money and to do more good in the world outside my day job. I'm thirty-five now, and the only night I've regretted not being in our little apartment was last Friday. Because last Friday, at 7:41 pm, Jiro called me. Mine, hers, and Denki's apartment is going to have another addition in a few months. Being pregnant, Jiro can't work. We were barely staying afloat as it was, but now?

More night shifts, here I come! (I can probably get Denki to become an electrician, too.)
