June storm

I love the shades of gray in this photo. The clouds were very low, and moving fast. Rain and wind followed but no harm to home or crops. It did increase the size of the puddle at the end of the corn field. I see ducks swimming where sprouting corn should be. Poor farmer.

A. has been working on his application for medical school and it is finally submitted. It will not be reseased to the schools for another 4-6 weeks, because the application has to be cross-checked against his official transcripts first. By the time requests for secondary applications or interviews come, he will be home again. What a long and detailed process.

Speaking of long and detailed processes, I have started helping enter data into the electronic health record at work. I'm hoping they find a way to scan in the immunization records. It took me 45 min to do one chart on a healthy child. Some of that is learning curve, but I am praying for short-cuts. I think the process will try everyone's patience by the end of the summer. Also, once entered, you can't erase, you can only amend the record to say "oops". Oh, help!
