Alicia went to see the doctor today. This rash is making us both crazy. Her because it itches all the time. Me because we can't figure out what is causing it. It looked worse when she first got home, and I had her take a oatmeal bath. No we didn't just pour oatmeal in the water, it's a special packet that you pour into the bath water and it's suppose to help itching, I guess it did for a while but later she was scratching again. Any way she was given some medication for it to apply topically and some pills that is suppose to help too. We also talked about getting her an apt. To see a allergy specialist. We had an appointment. Before we even left town. She will be seeing a Dr. McCormick (I don't know if I spelled that right) in Minot June 8th. I thought it would be a lot harder to get an appointment. I heard that they were hard to get into. But I'm hoping he can tell us what's going on. Anyway we picked up one of her friends from JC and took her back with us.
The drive was uneventful other than the fact that we saw a lot of road kill on the way. You know how there are all these deer crossing signs? Well from what I saw I think there needs to be raccoon and skunk crossing signs because I saw a lot more of those then deer. In the total 4 hours that I was on the road we only saw 1 dead deer. But I stopped counting the raccoon and and some time after 6 or 7. Any way the signs must be working for the deer so when are they going to put up the skunk and raccoon signs???
Well the road kill wasn't the most exciting thing that happened. I wish is was.. But no. We were maybe 1 mile from the center and we had to take a detour. As I was slowing down for the car in front of me (because there was a yield sign) and a lot of traffic coming bang a big white pick up truck hit us in the rear. Out comes this kid he looked like he was maybe 12 or 13, later found out he was 16, anyway he comes out of his truck and says I'm so sorry I was trying to pick some thing up off my floor and didn't see that we were stopping. Like that's going to make every thing OK. Any way we call the police and they said there was already one in that area. We looked around and sure enough there was a patrol car kiddy corner from us. So we sat and waited for him to finish what ever he was doing. He came out of a house and went over to a car. He stood there for some time and look like he wrote the guy a ticket. It took maybe 30 minutes. Then he
turned his car around in the middle of the street, and turned towards us. Were thinking good it's about time. All this time cars were driving around us because the streets there are narrow and we didn't think we could move them. Any way he drives right past us and we are thinking ok he has to turn around again so he can park on the right side of the road. We waited and waited and he never came and never came. We called again and told them that we were still waiting and they said there was an emergency and we should just sit there and wait some more.
So we waited maybe an hour all together and Alicia says call them again. I told her no they will come. She asked me again and I said you call. She did and they were not happy they said some one was coming. It was maybe another 10 minutes and finally one show up. It wasn't the same one but it took about 10 minutes in the patrol car (because it was raining) and finally we were done. We drove over to the center and both girls had to have every thing they were bringing back searched. Alicia had more today then she brought the first time she came. The guy just laughed and said, "First home visit?" It was so true. As she was unpacking and her RA said why don't you go get something to eat, she also invited me to stay and eat. It was about 5:45 when we finished and I told Alicia I wanted to head home because of the rain. So off I went, I was I got disoriented for a short time and call Dwight but he wasn't home so I left him a message and I took out the map (after all I'm an independent women and I can fix this myself.) I soon realized my mistake, turned around and was on my way. I called Dwight and left him another message saying that I was heading east on highway 2 and would be home in a couple of hours. So that was my day, I hope I didn't bore anyone too much. It's bed time and I have to work tomorrow painting at the school. Good night.
