What a day this was! Started off... I got up on time, feeling good. BS was 94. Good. Got to work... bad. Tech short today, and one of the other FT tech has a bad back, and had to go see the doc, leaving me alone in the dept for a while. He came back later and finished out the day, but he will be having to take some time off, getting injections and stuff like that. And I had the sweetest patient today... and she had three-foot nails on her left hand, and only about eighteen inches on the right hand. I asked her if she was in the Guiness Book of Records, and she said that they didn't have a category for nails. I think that Ripley's Believe it or Not had something like that, though. I took off at 15:30, feeling guilty, but we wanted to be in Wichita by 18:30, and everyone kinda ran me out. The way it was looking, I could have worked until 19:00 at least... there was at least one drainage procedure that was just getting started as I was leaving.
Karen and I made it to Debbie's right on time, just as they were sitting down to eat. So we ate and went to the Clarinet Concert. But first... just north of El Dorado Lake, it started raining... hard. But... there were no clouds. I opened the moon roof... no clouds overhead. No rain clouds to the right or left, nor to the front or back. Weird, that's all that I can say. Karen and I are now in a motel room, safe from the bustling crowd. Karens' folks are really enjoyable, but after a day like today, what I need is a shower and a bed. And Karen. Tomorrow will be a full day, I think, at least for Karen. I might just spend it lounging by the pool here... and, O'yeah, we set another heat record today in Topeka. O'yeah... the concert. I'm sure that other people have been to clarinet concerts, but I was simply blown away. Beautiful, beautiful music. And Jeff is really good! And there is high-speed internet access here, and I should maybe get a patch cord and take advantage of it... nah, I get enough of that at home, heh.
