I was called into the clinic to help out this morning. Not a big deal, I was done by noon. They are closed on Fridays except for special appointments. I saw four patients, then they had me help unload the supply truck. I was thrilled to see we got more soap, but was sad that the bars were smaller. LOL.
The most rewarding part of the morning was making a little boy who spoke NO English, laugh. He was NOT very excited to have his stitches removed and was in a VERY sour mood. So I put two wooden tongue compress in my lips like walrus teeth and made faces at him behind the doctors back. His little giggles made my heart melt.
In other news....I looked into getting some new scrubs after work, since all the scrubs I have are WAY too big since I lost so much weight here recently. Again, I am disappointed by the "tall" sizes they offer in stores these days. I have run into this problem MORE and more these days. Are people SHRINKING? I went into Hollister on tax free weekend, and tried on a pair of super cute blue jeans...I look in the mirror....They fit great in the waist, great in the butt, nice color...look down further...ANKLE BEATERS....GRRR!! I looked again at the size....(____)Tall....WHAT! it cant be, surely these are capris...nope they were jeans. I am 5' 9 and some change, on some charts I am 5'10, so honestly I am not THAT tall, but I have a SHORT torso and LOOOOOOONG legs, therefore, pants are a problem for me. Anyway, you can imagine my disappointment, when I went into the scrub store and yet again the tall size was still not as long as I like...I mean they were LONG , but they had a weird sag in the crotch and tapered ankles, both of which, I HATE. I went to Wal-Mart and got some Sewing patterns for scrubs, I will just have to make my own :). I love being able to sew.....
Also in other news.....
I GOT MY PASSPORT! YAY!!!!!!! I was watering my plants when my mail man came so I just greeted him, (I really like my mailman, he is so nice) I saw the big first class envelope....I said, "what is this?" He was like, "did you apply for a passport? That is what it looks like to me." I was like "YES!!!" I ripped the envelope open RIGHT there in front of him....it was BEAUTIFUL. He laughed at my little happy dance. I really COULD have hugged him, but that would have been inappropriate....He was like "where are you going?" to that I simply replied..."EVERYWHERE" He looked at me blankly. I just smiled and walked away.
Cheers,
Kira
