rumor

yummy
i was back home for supper tonight
mom made scrapple and tomato gravy and eggs
i know, i know, its a bkf meal, but that doesnt matter

its been a long long time since i had that meal
and it was certainly worth it, to go back

alan called me up today, want to come to kountry kitchen and eat lunch with us?
well, i had just gotten a salad from klines, and taken 3 bites
so, i stuck it in the frig
and met him there
we had a nice chat, i havent talked to him except in passing, for a long time
so it was really nice to catch up with him again

rumor has it that there is to be a big snow storm
dunno how accurate that rumor is tho

reminiscing

what can i say abt today?
well, for starters, i'm tired of jco sundays
sundays are for rest, not for running 4 calls
my first call today, classic MI symptoms, and he was having THE BIG ONE
right in front of me
all i could do, was watch it get worse
i was decreasing the pain, but watching it get "worser and worser" on the monitor
i was truly glad to get him to the ER and give him to them

and then, another cp,
a word for word repeat from abt 4 wks ago
then a short of breath who was so hypoxic that he was confused
but i worked my magic on him, and he was feeling better till we go to the ER

and lastly a baby, resp distress as well
sick little baby

and of course, it was 8 30 till i left again
this has been the wkend for late calls

and what more can i say abt today?
well, t-town called, asked if we are missing a portable
yes, we are
well, its in one of their ambulances
so, i went down there, and picked it up
and then
i drove back around to the church where i went as a little girl
sat in the parking lot, (was abt 2 pm), for awhile
just thinking
wondering what life would have been like, had my parents not chose that church to attend

late

4 min after 6, the pager goes
to the outer limits of mongolia, and to the hosp
it was 8 15 till i got back to central

got home, and kc was all thrilled to see me
altho, he really wanted food, tho, first

right now, he's sleeping on my leg
he had been on the floor beside my bed, on his back,
all 4 legs up in the air
sleeping

excuse

i wanted someone to talk to, on my way home from work this evening
but i didnt have any reason to call anyone
not even a flimsy excuse

so, i stopped at mcdonalds, and ate on the way home
and turned the radio up loud

lost

my brain is empty
it doesnt know what to write
so, it guesses it will just ramble
ramble on and on

where shall i take it?
its gotta be somewhere that i can find it again
if it should happen to get lost
unfortunately, that sorta cuts down on choices
cause i cant affort to lose what brain i do have

i could take it towards abuse
i could take it towards crushes
i could take it towards work
or i could take it towards bed

and the bed option sounds the best
no chance of it getting lost there

i believe that is what i will do!

running

'nother busy day today
4 more calls today
guess its my turn to have all the calls

jco goes in cycles
one person has all the calls, no matter what shift they work
and the rest have practically nothing

i think its my turn to have the jco black cloud again


i saw the love of God today, in a conversation online
and i ran
as usual

what did i run towards?
food--krispykreme donut from sheetz

trust

such a day today
busy busy busy
talked with command 2 times
had 4 calls in 6 hrs time
last time i called up for report, i got yelled at
by swigart
he had the nerve to tell me to go back to jco and stay there were i belong

here's an interesting part of today
yetter left this morning, and took my pager with him, and left his there
and so i was on the phone, and hte comm center pages " ****** call the center"
oops!
i was on the phone so long that yetter got tired of trying to beep me and decided to get my attention the only other way he could!
anyways, so, plans are to meet on the top of the mt, 235 N and switch out pagers at 12 noon
wouldnt you know
11:25, pager goes, (yetter, i'll call you back when i'm avail)
came back off that one, and promptly get sent out on another one
yetter beeps me while i'm on it
i'm on a call, i'll beep you back, i said
so, on the way back from that one, its after 2 00 pm
and i beeped him, well, he just laid his dau down for a nap, lets set it up for 3 30
and at 3 15, the pager went again. hey, i'm on another call, i'll let you know when i'm avail
finally, shortly before 5, i was able to make it up to the top of hte mt to meet him
and he said, just on the other side of the county line there is a pull off
meet me there
well, he failed to tell me that the pulloff is on the other side of the county line, his side
and so, i passed it
and he flashes his head lights at me, abt 500 yards past it
and so we both turn around, and smack on top of the mt, we roll down the windows
and exchange pagers
it almost felt like a rolling stop, it was so quick

thats gotta have been the highlight of my day
dunno what the driver of the car thot, that was behind him

and wouldnt you know, i didnt even make it back to the station, when the tones dropped for the next one
hey, i got to give phenergan!

and i was busy talking myself up today
something i dont do to often
this kid i had never seen before was in central's amb, as part of the crew
and on the way back, he says, "i was freaking out, and you were so calm.
i wanna be a medic. this was my first call, and i think i like this stuff"
so, i laughed
and i told him, well!
you couldnt have had a better medic for your first call
the other crew member was supposed to argue with me
but she didnt
she even told me, "i'd trust you with my life"

fix

sudafed and advil work wonders for clogged sinuses
temporary fix, i know
but all i need is another dose or so, tomorrow, maybe sat too, and i'll be good to go
(i think)

i wasnt aware that i had to show my driver's license to buy sudafed
i knew it was behind the pharmacy counter
and i knew they were keeping pretty good track of it
but i didnt know that i would have to show my driver's license and sign their book

sharing

i am willing to share
i have a head cold, that is only going to get worse, before it gets better
i need sudafed and advil, but all i have is the advil
call me on the phone tomorrow, abt 6 30 - 7 AM and i wont be able to talk
i'll be snotted shut, and my throat will be parched dry and full of cracked mucous
the county wont know who is talking on the radio when i go responding
so, thats what i am willing to share

what are you willing to share?

eyes

i see you
i see you snooping in on me like that without leaving any comments
DONT EVEN THINK OF SNEAKING OFF THIS TIME WITHOUT POSTING A COMMENT!

i'll have to hunt you down if you do
and no telling what i might do...





my bro was here for supper tonight
we sat and did sudoku puzzles
the quietest bit of company i've had in a long time!


thanks grampy gene for allowing me to steal this from you

 

soup

that was a lovely sleep last night
it was worth it, to take some advil and go to sleep
slept all night long, and was feeling much better this morning

we sponsored the red cross blood drive today
so, was there from mid morning, till almost 8 pm
i was tired of ham and chix salad sandwiches and cookies and juice
i think thats what we have fed the donors every single time we've sponsored the blood drive
so, c and i decided on chz with ham or lebanon bologna sandwiches, and crackers
and the obligatory juices
i'm not doing that again
that was much to expensive to suit my tastes
i should have known better

then, lwd commented this evening how we should have made soup
and i agreed, i had thot of it late last night, but it was too late then anymore
we could have made veggie and chix corn soup at the fh
and it would have been good
lwd makes good veggie soup

and he suckered me into making chix corn soup for bingo tue night
that wont be hard
cook up some chx, debone it
dump a few cans of corn into a pot, dump the chx in with it, add some chx bullion, and let it cook for awhile
only prob is, i only have one med sized pot
and i dont know how long to cook chx, i guess i'll have to call mom
i'd like to add some noodles to it
maybe i'll have to do that
i'll see if lwd okays that

oh, and to ANon
i've gotta blame SAD, cause i dont want to break down and say i have PMS
i don't have PMS, thats just not possible
i'm much to sweet and pleasant all the time!

tired

i be tired tonight
i hear a bed calling my name
its lonesome
it wants some quality time with me
i'm inclined to give it what it wants

i'm inclined to not care when my computer grumps abt being ignored, tonight
bout time it learns who is boss around here
and that boss be ME

daylight

i do believe the days are getting longer!
its not dark at 4:30 like it had been
i was on my way to a call, today, walked out the door at 4:45
and realized, its still totally daylight!

whoooo hoooo!!
maybe i'll be able to get over the grumpies
maybe i'll kick SAD yet!
(btw, SAD is a self dx)

(um, dx = diagnosis)

family

family is a wonderful thing
i was almost stunned last night
my bro, sis-in-law and their family went to canada over christmas to visit her sister
and so we put off our family christmas gathering until they came back
last evening then, we had our family christmas
and sis-in-law made the comment, that now it feels like christmas since we were all together
which surprised me
i didnt realize that she felt that way, abt the family she married into
i knew i felt that way, that it just wasnt christmas yet
but i had thot it was justme and my loneliness expressing itself.

late

December 31, 2006 posting
its new yrs eve, today
wonder what hte new yr will bring?

i'm going to make some baked corn, and take along to the station party this evening
for some reason, i have no desire to stay all night, this yr
i think that my computer will go along with me

43. when i was deciding what to make, i realized that i have corn, i dont have to go to the store for anything in the ingredients listing!
44. my cake turned out ok, too, i was a bit worried, i've never made a cake that so many things were funky

first, i didnt soften the butter
so, i'm trying to cream sugar, shortening and HARD butter
its not working
so, i turn on the burner, put the bowl on the burner to soften the butter, and promptly start to crystallize the sugar
uhhh, DUH!
and then, the milk, is outdated, by abt a wk, sorta smells a bit funny
but i used it
and i've never had cake batter that looked like this did, almost frothy
i put the batter in a large cookie sheet, instead of a 9 x 13 pan
and baked it
then put peanut butter icing on it
it turned out ok, it tastes pretty good, i must say

45. i've got indoor plumbing (can you guess where i'm going to be heading in a few min?)
46. my little neighbor girl brought over a box of 12 peanut butter buckeyes. YUM. (right, reflect?)
47. oh, and for my baked corn? i even have a casserole dish, that i wasnt aware of

that leaves me with 3 more to go, for my challenge
lets hope i get back to my computer before midnight

and later:
48. those peanut butter buckeyes are all gone already, and i only had 2 of them
49. my baked corn was pronounced awesome, this evening.
i didnt tell anyone i had never made baked corn before, so i'm feeling real good
50. lwd makes a mean bbq pork loin
