Goodbye yellow shed

Last week we said goodbye to the yellow shed. It was so unstable, Lance had a huge hole dug next to one wall, and then pushed it in with the tractor. Why do I get so much enjoyment out of fire and destruction? Without the trees and the shed, the view out the south window stretches as far as the eye can see.

I am improving on the electronic record. I have become the cheerleader, trying to lift up and encourage where possible. I can hear the nurses stress over it as they talk to one another. The doctors vary from determined to frustrated. It is hard for administration to see why it is so hard.

I am waiting to hear if the board approved a part time position for me as physician recruiter for the group. I would be good at it, but money is scarce. Physicians are also scarce. We'll see. The other new project is establishing a rural residency training program for 2nd and 3rd year residents. They would do the first year in Bismarck and some specialty electives elsewhere. It is a lot of paperwork. (Think 7th grade science project) We are on a short timeline. It would make it easier to recruit new doctors. Updates as it unfolds.

No sewing in a while. I may give up the quilt shop day to use the time at the hospital. I haven't decided yet. The quilt shop is selling off inventory and not replacing it, so I think its days are numbered anyway. Sad. Nothing ever stays the same. I don't enjoy change.
