I got a million things going on on-top of me trying to finish unpacking. Got the business aspect taken care of. Now I gotta deal with the aestetics. Hate how my bathroom is painted, so I gotta repaint it. Think I'm going with either a light gray or a light blue. Dunno yet.

My kittehs are doing well. They are best friends with Lucifer. Couldn't have hoped for a better meshing of aminal families. I have ATA in an hour then I gotta try and finish unpacking. Meh.

Anyways, its breaking up. Hopefully when I get up this afternoon for work I'll be clear. Excited about getting back to work, oddly enuff. ;0 Might be because my Medic has an orientee so I gets to learn/relearn tidbits fed to us while in orientation that makes us better employees. Anyways, my coffin beckons.

[Current Mood |Awake]

So Led a BLS truck tonight. Usually easy cake and pie OT. Tonight, however, we ran twice to Conway (1 hour both ways) and then to Searcy (1 hr 45 min both ways). Then4 in city transfers. We never got a break. Oh, I lie. We got one break, but as a favor to our Supervisor, we went and made round at the hospitals lookin for backboards. So, non stop all night. Its very out of the ordinary to be so busy, but the ALS Crews ran hard, so I suppose it's only fair.

I talked to a good friend of mine today and he complimented me. It means alot to me because he doesn't drop them lightly.

Anyways, a new movie came in today, and seeing as I'm wide awake from the pain meds I took, I'm gonna watch it. Till we speak again....

Snow in the city today! I had several perfect lookin snowflakes fall on my arm while dropping off a ACH Crew at central Flying. I couldn't help but stop and stare. It was quite beautiful.

On a side note, I had a blast in New Orleans. Mardi Gras was fun. Can't wait to go again. It won't be next year because of medic school, but I'll go the following year to celebrate. My next conquest is Memphis and St. Louis.

Oh man! Framing Hanley is playin in Little Rock in like 3 weeks. I plan on takin Chris, Izzy, and James. And maybe Jackie will be there too! I'm so excited. Life is good.

So, I finally went ahead and subscribe to the internet fo my phone. I suppose now I have no excuse to update my blog daily. So I'm sitting at Station 4 and I once again can't tell if I'm nauseous or hungry. I started my day off well enough, but by the time 3 made it to work I had a rumbly in my tumbly. :( Swea I'm not touching liquor for a long long time. Promise. I leaned something though. A very valuable lesson - 1 hour(8 shots Jäger + 2 shots Goldschlogger)/empty stomach = EPIC FAIL. Even though I'll be in New Orleans for Mari Gras I'm leaving the liquor alone. Call me what you like but I know what my body won't tolerate.

So, New Orleans. I have some plans. See friends and family. Take sum pics in a cemetary. Eat crawfish and crabs, potatoes and corn and smoked sausage til I pop! And I hope to remember to bring two Kingcakes back to Little Rock with me. I wanna see my Beth and my Grandma. Say "Hey" to Ryan and his family. GOT TO THE M.A.C. STORE!!! LoL. Oh, think I'll get my nipples pierced while I'm down there too. That's all really.

I need to practice my Songham 1 Form. I haven't been to ATA all week. I'm hoping we leave early Wed morning so I can makeit to my Wed night ATA class. Next graduation is March 12th.

Think I'll nap first though...

So, my Training Supervisor told me that I have been invited to be a CPR instructor.  How f$@king awesome is that!  I'm making progress. It's incredibly exciting, honestly.  It also feels incredible to have my dedication recognized and appreciated. I work really hard trying to be a better EMT, a better partner, a better Lead. It's just so much.  I think 2009 will bring many great things.  I can only hope other people will recognize my dedication and potential.

[Current Mood | amused]

It's been forever, hasn't it?!?  So much going on. So much has changed.

With work, I'm not just an EMT, but a BLS lead too. I'm only working 140-160 hours every two weeks, that's down from 160-170.  I've been doing Tae Kwon Do for almost 3 months, and I just got my Orange Belt. 

Aside from that, that's it.  I just feel like I'm constantly on the move.  I worked 0600-1800 on Friday and when I got home, I crashed at 2000 and I didn't wake up till 1800 Saturday.  Insane.  My body just shut down. I couldn't do anything about it.  OH well.  I lost a day, but whutever.  I got a BLS shift 2morrow from 1400-0200 and Monday I have a transfer from Dallas back to Little Rock.  So bizzy bizzy.  I wanna go see Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.  Very excited about that movie.  

Thursday, I finally hunted down my tattoo artist and I'm getting my first tattoo touched up and I'm getting my vampire bite.  Yeah, it hasn't even been 6 months and I"m going for my next tattoo, I know I"m addicted.  Hush.

Anyways, it's been forever, but that's al lthat's really going on with me. Till next time. ;0

LOL

I'm so sold on the whole deal. I wanna enroll in the Leadership Program.  I think this is something I can really excell at.  The Head Instructor said I was a natural, he is from Paraguay.  He said he really only needed to show me a move or combo once or twice and I could mimic it perfectly.

Now, I have ALWAYS wanted to get into Martial Arts and it has always been an interest to me, I think I have my shot. 

If I can arrange my schedule like how I want it, I'm good to go.

Her house was in flames when we pulled up. She was an elderly black woman and her skin was sloughing off. I felt deeply for her. She was awake and alert. I can't even begin to imagine what she was feeling.  I took a minute to pause after the call, and I hoped she would be okay.

I've never seen someone so critically burned before. It was aweful to see. The Cardiac Monitor electrode wouldn't even stick.... and the smell of burnt hair and flesh.... that smell will stay with me for days...

So, last week I ran on a shooting, first real/real one, ya know? Dude tried to break into another guy's house and he was shot for trespassing.  We found him a few streets over with a bullet through his thighs. He was bleeding bad.  So we worked on him and got him to the ER without any issues...but after the call was over I couldn't help but have issues working my mind around the issue at hand... we helped save his life, yes, but why? This guy was a criminal.....

I don't like this aspect of the job....

Bliss... [Sep. 7th, 2008|01:33 am]
[Current Mood | mischievous]

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

-Dylan Thomas

I had a rough day yesterday. I wasn't busy in Sherwood, but mentally I am exhausted. I don't know why once things start to look up and I really start to be happy with everything, SOMETHING happens and brings everything crashing down on me again. I can only do so much on my own....but I wish I could do it all. All I can do it go to work and hope everything turns out for the best.
