We drove out to another Leprosy Colony today. I was assigned to help at the Blood Pressure and Blood Glucose checking station. There was a nurse there helping. This was not a good place for me. There is a reason I am not a nurse. I don't like to hurt people. When a man flinched and I knew I hurt him, I decided, I'm not doing that anymore. I did blood pressure instead, but I think I'm much more comfortable with taking care of feet. The people at this colony were also very nice. There was a school nearby with the cutest children you've ever seen.
At play time today, I got out the parachute and beach balls. The parachute lasted about 15 minutes; I put it away when a small child got mildly hurt. They are just so wild and excited to play with it. One of the beach balls got a hole. I was going to try and tape it to see if it could last a bit longer, but it "disappeared" along with the other one. My roomate was able to retrieve all 4 jump ropes--They enjoyed those as well. (I'm not sure where the beach ball could be hidden - it is pretty bulky!) I shouldn't laugh, but the kids are just so fun. I want to buy a bunch of beach balls and other stuff for the Star Store, but I'm not sure where. I don't think they have Target or Walmarts here.
At family time, I took some markers and finger nail polish (I have a boys house, but everyone kept assuring me the boys like the nail polish too, and they did. There was only a small amount that I couldn't get off the floor - I'm taking something to clean it up tomorrow.)
A frog and a snake have be found in the bathroom. I'm not tired of curry and rice yet. I quite enjoy it every night.
