volunteer day at HRMC

We wakened ourselves around 8 and went immediately to the lake. On the way around the sun came out and made it uncomfortably hot. We continued and went to Lowe’s afterward to get some Ortho Max, recommended by Tom Jones to help with our ant problem. We then dressed for our shift at the hospital. We arrived shortly before 12 and met with the president of the Auxillary so she could tell us some of the changes in procedure on the outpatient floor. We went to have our lunch and returned to the floor. We had some business but were finished by 3 because nearly everyone was gone. What we do is take light drinks and snacks to people after their surgery or colonoscopy. When busy it is fun. There was a heavy rain while we were there but had stopped by the time we left. We left the hospital and went to the library to return DVDs and check out some more. We returned home and changed for the evening. We made some black bean soup and broccoli salad. I did the chopping of the onion, celery, red pepper, cilantro, scallions and garlic. We didn’t eat until 6:30 but finished and cleaned the kitchen. We enjoyed one of the hamburgers from yesterday and other side dishes. I had to take the solidified fat from yesterday’s meat to the large field of weeds near us. I returned and broadcast the Ortho Max around the yard as Tom directed. We had planned to watch one of the DVDs but found a movie about Florence Nightingale starring Jaclyn Smith. It was on the Gospel Music Channel and had more commercials than any other program we have viewed before.
