What a weekend!!

Last week was a long week. The boss came back after being out of the office for two weeks. This bothered me so much, I ended with some intestinal problems and was out for a few days. On Wednesday, I took the National Registry for EMT exam over in Springfield. I only have to wait 4 to 8 weeks for results! Thursday and Friday were butt kickers at work.
I did my usual Friday night at the fire house and kept Hughesville safe again. Not a run. Saturday was different. Went up around 2pm since the snow was coming down pretty good. I left at 10 am Sunday having had about an hour or two of total sleep. I went on two calls before 7pm, then all was quiet on the EMS side until the middle of the night. Two calls went out, but I stayed back to give others a chance to run, and to be part of the crew for the second ambulance if needed. I got out on a call at about 5am, but we got put in service before we got there. We could see the lights from the other units over the hill reflecting in the snow when we got the word to head home!
Could not sleep because of all the damn fire side calls! I never realized the fire department gets the calls to cut up trees that are down across roads and on power lines etc. They were going off like crazy!!I actually put on fire gear and went out on one with the guys. I crashed hard on Sunday night!! I was in bed around 8pm that night.
Now it looks like the sand box wont happen, but I may go to Germany. Lets see what my college friend says about that!!
