Drive-by Doctors. It is now Tuesday morning about 9:00 AM, and since it is Tuesday, I was allowed my once-a-week shave at 7:00 AM this morning. Breakfast today was Cream of Wheat, four slices of white bread, two milks, apple juice, and the little old pat of butter.

I just had my ten minute shower and sick call exam; here we have drive-by doctors. Now that is efficiency.

I was in the shower and this male medical-type person walks by carrying an armful of files. My head shows above the shower curtain and I mention that I am in the shower as he looks in my door.

He commented that my nose was as crooked as could be and needs to be fixed. He said that was the source of my infections. Yet, he said he would give me decongestant, and if I did not get better I should let him know.

He asked me what over-the-counter decongestant worked for my nose and how often I used my pump. I told him three times a day. So, he said he would give me a new one and off he went.

I finished rinsing off, slipped on my clean underwear, and now I am jotting down my experience for posterity.

I slept better last night with the third blanket, so that was good. I finished the WV book, Brass Ring, and it raised some interesting ideas about parenting that I need to write out. I will need to play monk, and hand-copy a couple of pages of text, but I feel more like reading right now.

This morning is outside Rec, so for now I am free till lunch. So, I will go ahead and read and plan on doing some more writing this afternoon.

Tonight I find out if the Gods of the Commissary will allow me to shop. I hope so!

Meantime, I was reading some of the Lake Wobegon stories. Perhaps that might be something the kids would like? Not sure. Just a thought. Did you ever crack the book True Love by Robert Fulghum?

Well, enough for now. I shall return.
