Update From Camp

We are at camp. No, there is no internet service at camp.

Unless you are, as I am, living in the nurse's station.

No, no, Jack is not hurt. Well, actually he is, but nothing major. His counselor said he practically had to drag him to the nurse's station. He said Jack had blood dripping on other people's beds, but still kept saying he was okay and wanted to keep pillow fighting. I guess all the boys were fighting and jumping from top bunk to top bunk and somehow Gable kicked Jack's scab off. Gable felt terrible, which is always kind.

The ambulance was already here first thing this morning. The nurse's daughter had an emergency, so the nurse and her daughter took off for Cincy Childrens' Hospital. Guess who is the new nurse? Yup, me. I guess they figured with all my experience in boys, I qualified for the job. I did go to college and studied medicine, but since I figured that I would never return to the field, I let my certification lapse four years ago. Let's keep that between you and me though. By being in the nurse's station, I get a computer and a refrigerator and a moment of quiet. I am told that I cannot leave the station and that I must be here around the clock. I acted really sad and all and told all my kiddies how much I would miss them...

Actually, I love camp. We finished a ropes course today that was pretty darn cool if you ask me. Jon is toughing it out in the high school cabin. I felt all sorry for him, so I went to visit him a while ago. There were about 30 high schoolers sitting around playing games and three, yes, three women doting on Jon. He was leaning back at the table with an iced latte with whipped cream drizzled with caramel in front of him. The counselor ladies told me how sweet Jon is and how they just had to take care of poor ol' Jon because he was working so hard with the kids and all. I think I saw one fanning him as I left, but I'm not sure. She could have been feeding him strawberries or something.

Someone is hobbling in, so I best go and do first aid and save the day or something.
