Fun times!

Ok so when I left you I was about to go take the hospital vehicle out and go to the game. Well when I went down there both cars had been taken out...What's a girl to do! So I decided to call Laura. She didn't answer but I decided that I would go over and see if she was home because I knew that she was picking up her stuff that was shipped over on the barge and I thought that she might be outside and could give us a ride. She was! So we helped her unload all the boxes that were in her car at the moment and then she took us to the softball field. I got to play center field for the whole game! I went up to bat three times and struck out twice (once was on a fly ball, apparently if you hit a fly ball on your third strike it counts) oh well. But I did make it base once on a nice hit. I met tons of people and they all had accents. It was so funny. I cant even explain it.

So in the middle of the game, it started to rain. So we got soaked. Then a huge and I mean huge, beautiful rainbow came over the field. All I could think about was Carol. She must have been thinking about me too! Then we had to find a ride home. I didn't think that it would be a problem, its not like anyone lives that far away! Anyway, this intern named Chris gave us a ride which was really nice of him. Yeah did I mention there are three chris's on our team!

So then I had gotten my package in the mail and wanted to see if my printer worked. Well it did but it took me 2 hours to figure it out. I didn't get to bed until midnight. I know that it is not that late but I had to get up at 6:20. So I would have liked a little more sleep.

There was also a spider in my apartment last night and I was a little freaked out. I hate spiders. When I woke up he was gone. I hope I didn't eat him.

Then when I got to work the next morning I found that we had 5 patients. 5 patients...I couldn't believe it. Two of them had heart problems and that was one thing that I wanted to work on this summer. So I actually spent 4 hours doing research on this patient and couldn't really find that much information to explain the doctors diagnosis so I decided to speak with the doctor. We are meeting tomorrow. Then this afternoon, I received a call from a village nurse and I questioned the dose that the patient was getting. When I asked the doctor about it he changed the dose. How cool!

Oh I almost forgot, I went to out to lunch today with Luke (the pharmacist) and Ronya the girl that quit. I forgot to tell you that she is back. I don't know that happened but she's back and I am trying to learn parts of her job and actually paying attention this time. But anyway, we ate at the Muddy Rudder. There is one in Maine and it reminded me of home. The woman that runs the place is also from Maine but way way up north. Anyway, I had a bacon cheeseburger it was good. But I got to find out about Luke some more which was cool because I just met him on Monday. He's from Maine too! Tons of Maine connections, I am telling you. So now I have eating at half of the restaurants in dellingham. There are only like 4!!!

But that is pretty much it, I have a softball game tomorrow. I just went to the gym here and worked out a little bit. Trying to get in shape for hiking...Yuck!

Signing off!
