You know it's going to be a long night...

It's hot out here. I'm sitting in front of my AC and fan getting ready to go to work (ok, it's not technically work, it's a shift with my mentor on the ALS truck. But it is 12 hours, and I am expected to lead the calls, so I can call it work if I want to.). Doing my usual pre-work routine, making some snacks, making sure my uniform is ship-shape, etc...

Then I realize, as I'm running around in my t-shirt and pants, I've already sweated through my shirt. I haven't even left my house yet! I can only hope we get some good storms tonight that cools things off, or we're going to spend our evening treating heat exhaustion and dehydration again. For once, I'm actually looking forward to the cold temperatures of winter.

Father's Day

So, today was Father's Day. Sunday, June 17th.

Here's to all you men out there that stepped up and were "dad" "papa" or "daddy". By blood or by choice, you have my utmost respect. Here's also to all you mom's who worked two jobs, stretched the dollar and were both "mama" and "daddy" to your little bundles of joy. You only have to look at smiling faces to realize what a priceless job you have.

It's been four years (I think...maybe it's been longer, but who's counting?) since we talked, but...Happy Father's Day, dad. I hope the kids are keeping you entertained.

Reincarnation

I swear I was a cat in a previous life. All I want to do after I eat is sleep. Eat, sleep. Eat, sleeeeeeeeeeeee...

I do not like...

Drunks puking in my truck.

Scheeze.

Uhuh...

I like lights and sirens.
