Cookies and flu shots and a chance encounter.

Today was a busy, wonderful day.

This morning I lugged twenty pounds of fruit bread and cookies to the university center on campus, where the Montana Student Nurses Association held a bake sale. My fellow students turned up with impressive amounts of wonderful baked goods, and all of the items looked delicious. We sold nearly everything, made some money for our organization, and had a great time talking with people.

I spent the afternoon administering flu shots for the student health center. I've done some injections at the hospital, but doing it over and over again in a short time was a great way to fine tune my technique and improve my dexterity. I don't like causing people discomfort, but I do like knowing that I'm helping them to protect their health. (And several people said I give a pretty good shot, so that's always nice to hear.)

Also, this morning I bumped into Patia, blogger extraordinaire. Lovely in print, even lovelier in person. :) It's odd to "meet" someone you already feel as though you know... I enjoy her writing immensely - if you haven't yet, you should check out her blog.

It is now way past my intended bedtime of "early." Goodnight!

Awww, thanks, Mandi! It was great to meet you, too.

(I don't think I mentioned that I had just had a flu shot. You guys do a great job.)
