BUSH DIARY JUNE 1999

BUSH DIARY JUNE 1999:

House dream.

Memorial Day: Slept in until 7 am and got up and got the wash started downstairs ad finished by 9 and spent the day goofing off.

Tuesday:  Took me until noon to get the census completed for the previous four days. Constant interruptions.  Monica called to say that she would be i on the evening flight as she had a five hour layover in Anchorage.  Go shopping!

Sat 6-5:  3:45 am could not sleep.  Got up to enjoy the midnight sun.  It was rather bright after being cloudy all week.  

I am keeping to my schedule of moving by mail.  I packaged up my very large cooper angel which I purchased in Sonoma a couple of years ago.  It is an awkward size but I left one of the boxes flattened, wrapped said angel in a towel, shoe horned it into the package slant wise and taped everything shut.  Hope post office does not treat like Frisbee.

6-6: Woke up from cop dream.  I had a suspect in handcuffs but he escaped.   Then there was a traffic accident with lots of stuff scattered all over.

Weirdness at work:  Things have finally come to a head over our "rogue" doctor, Dr. Grace S.  She who prescribed the outdated morphine.  And ably abetted by the boyfriend hospital CEO.  Dr S essentially dismissed all OB services by the Public Health Nurses but they just kept on making appointments, did not stop seeing OB patients.  One of the big wigs came up from ANMC and was carefully escorted around by Dr S and he left on the plane unenlighted. Except Dr Perez was on the same flight and he enlightened the ANMC big wig of all of the goings on.  As a result Dr. S is on administrative leave and CEO is on vacation.  It was getting so bad that nurses were leaving left and right. They have been assured by the powers  that no nurse lost their license from working in Barrow.

6-13: Crud have a couple dental things to have done, one is to have a tooth pulled and a wisdom tooth to be looked at.  Make appointment. Open wide!

Dream:  Visiting where I lived in Emmett.  Met a classmate who I did not remember.  

Book report:  The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter. by Sharyn McCrumb.  This was one written in the mid 80's and has the usual characters.  Nora Bonesteel is an older woman who has the sight.  I learned that the Appalachians had so many chestnut trees that cattle browsed on the fallen nuts.  Then a fungus imported by the New York Botanical Gardens got loose in the 1930's and killed most of the chestnut trees in America.  I have been told that the smell of wet chestnut trees in the fall is wonderful.

Next trip out is to Coquille over Labor Day weekend.  I will spend a couple days in Seattle and all the girls in the family will run around and have fun.

Looks like personnel will be thin in medical records this week everybody is gone for all sorts of reasons.  I guess I will spread out and make a crowd.  One of the ways to get extra bodies is to accept responsibility for student summer hires.  Ugh!  It takes about three days just to get their attention.

Okay time to put June to bed.

G'night folks.
