On Monday we had two patients in the clinic [in the morning]. The first man had a super infected wound, which was cool for me but so not for him. It did not look too bad, until Adonya took off the scab. It was sunk in the middle to over a centimeter below his skin! You could tell it hurt a lot, but he did not even say ouch. Dr. Debela thinks I might have scabies. The only problem with that is that in order to get rid of them, you need to wash everything in boiling water. Our washing machine only does cold water, and the biggest pot we have is probably only big enough for my clothes, not my bedding or towels.
The second lady was a lady in labor, so it would have been exciting if her baby could have been the first born at our clinic, but she had had a baby die just after being born last time, so Dr. Debola sent her to a hospital or something. She waited around here for ever, though, because Daniel was taking her and he was in a meeting. Eshi negir at work again. Haha, and EVERYONE was late, except Cameron. I had been up half the night itching, and so set my alarm clock for later then did not get up, Meron and Bayise were late, Daniel was SUPER late with everyone who takes the “service” (gets a ride to work), and we did not see Abebe all day. Class went really well with my favoritest class.
Tuesday…. Tuesday… Oh we were SUPPOSED to go shopping. But Amanuel was sick and something else, so Cameron had to stay at the clinic, but I was (grudgingly) going to go alone, but then Abebe could not even take me grocery shopping (we needed to get money and go to the post office too). I was on the edge of angry… and this week’s Sabbath school lesson is on patience. Well played. Anisha, there are starving children in Africa…… and Jennifer and Cameron were VERY NEARLY two of them! You can tell Jill she can use that on Miranda and Garrett.
Anyway, so I hung out the entire morning with Cameron in the pharmacy. We watched Esther. THEN we find out that it is a half day :-/ so no class. Oh, and by the way, yeah, the kids were right, there is no class for the rest of the week because of exams or something. Thanks, Ato Kinfe. If they want the kids to treat/respect us like teachers, they ought to keep us informed of when we will not have class. Abebe showed up in the evening and took us on a quick (and surprisingly inexpensive) shopping run.
On Wednesday, Amanuel was finally better, but we had no patients all day. We even went back after lunch and there were no patients. So I had a very successful day. I read some, played cards with myself, listened to my ipod, and then was bored. Ha, Cameron said I had too much to do. After lunch, I finished my test for the first half of the Boxcar Children… I hope I actually get to use it…. darn not having class. At least now the second grades are caught up with one another now… I read with Meskeram for awhile, then tried to play soccer, but left shortly after we started because I was going to cook. I made tofu wot and shiro, both of which turned out pretty well, considering, but I forgot to put tomato paste in the tofu wot and ginger in the shiro. Oh well, we ate it. The injera we had bought was turning moldy. Things here go moldy like no other. I think Daniel is arranging a trip to the post office for us tomorrowwwww *crosses fingers*.
WOAH I can make the page a different color… AND make it say “DO NOT COPY” AND add a border! Funness.
