A visior from the past

I am at work once again. I am on a 72 hour stretch. Only 32 hours to go! Yesterday I got a call from a fellow paramedic that I helped train. He was in LaCygne and wanted to swing by. He and his wife did so and we had a nice visit. He said that I seemed happier than the last time I had seen him. He and I worked at Crawford County EMS together. He was there during the last 2 years of my employment there. He remembered how stressed I was and how irritated with the politics I was as well. He is tired of them too, but needs the call volume that working in Pittsburg can give a new medic. I on the other hand, have done most everything at this point and like the low key tempo around here. We had a great visit and then they left. We have yet to have any calls in the past 38 hours. We lost power due to severe storms fro about 2 hours. We finally got TV. After almost 2 months they got us a satellite dish. We get about 40 channels and they are all junky! Oh well, at least we can watch the news.

This weekend is my big garage sale. Friday is prep day and setup day. I am hoping to get all the work done. I have a ton to do... Saturday is the sale and I am on my own as the kids have a track meet. I am hoping to make enough to pay for our vacation in late may. Fuel will be $4 a gallon by then and my truck gets about 8mpg pulling the camper. Pray for a profitable weekend. Gunna go to bed now. I have another 24 hr shift tomorrow down in Pleasanton. They moved into a new building and now are getting things settled in. Should be a hoot. -DJ
