Death by pharmacy

Death by pharmacy

So this morning was probably the single worst thing you could possibly make me do. Leave me in a room, by myself, to sort medicine. I just about died of a mixture of bordem, lonliness, and being surrounded by entirely too many “cherry flavored” everythings. I noticed that everything was cherry. Cherry this, cherry that, everything cherry, but we all really know that it tastes like crap. If you really want to get kids these days to take anything, you should disguise it all in french fries and chocolate bars. However, I did find another way to entertain myself, and it was the only thing that kept me from falling over right there. It was to listen to my ipod (best last minute decision of the day) and to make up an interesting combo of all the different qualities of drugs I had seen. The best one of the day was expired twice daily cherry flavored animal shaped multivitamin supposotories, now 50% more in every dose! Anyway, around lunch time, Dr. Plunk came in and said he wasn’t feeling so good so he wanted to head back to Pana (needless to say, I nearly beat him out the door.)

After we got back to pana, I made a PB and Syrup sandwich and then hopped a tuk tuk out to Sharon’s house, the woman who runs mayan families. It was a zoo there, literally. Children and adopted dogs everywhere. I then spent the next couple of hours translating letters from children to their sponsors, which was kind of cool because all of them were extremely gracious for what their sponsors had done for them.

After I got done translating the letters, I headed back to my apartment and dropped off some laundry. I then proceeded to take a nap until 6ish when I went back to pick up my laundry. I figure its stimulating the local economy and its easier than doing it by hand in some concrete sink.

Tomorrow, I’m most likely headed up to Chichicastenango to work with a group from Florida because there is very little for me to do at the clinics. I’m kind of looking forward to that, I just have to make sure I pack everything that ill need for the next few days…Im not sure if I’ll have any internet so mom and dad, don’t freak out if I don’t post anything until Friday night or Saturday.
