I Can See Blue Sky!

Half way through July the sun has finally revealed itself. Until now it has insisted on hiding behind a veil of gray that obscured its light and warmth for months. While others in the country are dealing with heat exhaustion, we were still wearing sweaters and jeans to ward off the chill. So bring on the beach, the salt, the frigid water cooling off the roasting body, the waves that tumble you onto the shore, the happy exhaustion that follows a day of gleeful exertion.

OUTGOING CALL
Lala: " I need to give an order please."
Dumbdumb: "I am the nurse, I can help you."
Lala: "OK, great. D/C this medication."
Dumbdumb: "What?"
Lala: Maybe he can't hear me? "D/C this medication."
Dumbdumb: "Can you spell that please?"
Lala: Huh? "Spell what?"
Dumbdumb: "D/C."
Lala: "No, I won't spell that. Discontinue. Stop. No longer take. D/C. It is a common medical abbreviation." Oh. My. God. You are taking care of someone's mother.
Dumbdumb: "What?"
Lala: "Listen. Write D/C the medicine, that all you need to do. If you can't do that I need to speak with your charge nurse." And call the nursing board on you. Wow!
Dumbdumb: "I am the charge nurse!"
