Today has been a long one, I've spent the day cleaning. I had to clean up the mess I left from painting my new bedroom, vacuum until I could vacuum no more, and put together the new ceiling fan. The longest part was making sure the floor is as clean as possible, my dad promised to help me by shampooing the carpet tomorrow. It took over an hour of vacuuming until I could run it over the entire room and not pick up and more dirt. Of course the ceiling fan didn't come with the mounting plate I need so I'm going to stop by the store on the way home from work.
I'm going to make a prayer request, a couple days ago I learned my boyfriend of over 2 years is going to be headed overseas soon. He leaves for 3 weeks next month for training, coming home for Christmas, then heading off to fight in the "War against Terrorism." Frankly, I'm scared to death for him. He is a chemical specialist, so anything biological he'll be in the middle of. He also has his liscense for the Hummer and usually gets stuck driving a Sgt. Major around. Both will make him a likely target. Like I said, please pray for him (and my nerves!).
Not much interesting at the station lately. I've been on the ambulance the past few shifts- I don't mind it really, it makes learning the territory a little easier when you're driving it. I'm starting to get used to the daily routine of cleaning, checking the units in, dealing with the occasional civilian wanting their blood pressure checked, and working the computer programs. I'm still trying to adjust to having to be able to function normally when I woke up 30 seconds ago and am now rolling down the street lights and sirens at 3 am...I'm not sure if I'll ever really get used to that.
take care
