You can reach me by railway...I mean, ambulance.


As the 4th of July nears, I realize that a lot of people have birthdays on July 4th. My family friend's son Tyler will be 11. I remember when he was 5! Wow. My dad's uncle will be 60 which means we're all going to Connecticut Saturday to visit, and my new adopted mom, MamaKat will be....? Hmmm. Older. Anyway, tonight I want to write about nothing. I'm tired, I had a long run night last night on the ambulance. Calls at 530om, 730pm & 4am. I honest to God love that! I could run the ambulance all week if I just got some sleep. I was talking with one of the girls this morning at the station (6am if you were wondering) and we both agreed that when you sleep at the station, you never get a full nights sleep. It sucks.


When a call comes in, we have to find the place, exam the patient there, if it is bad enough we have to get them ready to take to the hospital, put them in the ambulance, get them to the hospital, talk to the nurses about what happened, then we clean out the truck, put new bedding on the stretcher and off we go. Rhode Island is a small state, but MAN - it takes forever to get from point A to point B. The whole process from when we recieve the call to when we're back at the station takes about a good two hours. You'd never know it though because so much is going on and the time flies. It is really something though. I can't imagine myself ever quitting.


Okay, I said I was tired. I am! I'm getting off now. (No, Ashley...come on thats not what I meant. Don't think I can't read your mind. Perv!) Oh Ash, one question - Did you ever get a final price for the Divine Miss. M's tampon on ebay? Did you know who spend her last pennies on it? Hahaha


GOOD NIGHT ALL!
