Reading And Riding

As crazy as life has been, I have actually been able to squeeze in quite a bit of reading.  In fact my To Be Rambled About pile is starting to rival my To Be Read pile.  It's weird because I am absolutely exhausted and feel like I have been doing NOTHING but riding my various ambulances in some capacity or another but in reality I have started and finished at least 6 books in the last three weeks.  This my friends is why I always have a book, or e-reader on me.
It's amazing how much reading can get done while waiting on nurses, dispatch, traffic (not when I'm driving of course) or the rare occasion when I get a lunch break.  I can read a quick short story, or a chapter while my partner finishes a report, or when one of my students is working on a quiz.  It all adds up to lots and lots of books read in little tiny chunks.  Now this is not anywhere near as satisfying as sitting down and really reading, but it is enough to keep my sanity and enough to get my reading list finished.  Now if I could just find time to ramble about them :-)  Happy Reading Everybody!

So Sleepy

Ahhhh, I missed posting yesterday, I am so sorry.  I had a 48 hour shift and ran my poor little hiney off, seriously it is gone.  I came home and immediately passed out until my sweet Hubbin came home from work and woke me up.

I promise to make it up with a nice long rambling tomorrow.  But now I have to catch up on all the reading I missed over the last three days.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Lights And Sirens Baby

In addition to my regular weekend duty shift at the fire station, I get to do something special...
I Drive an Ambulance
I Drive An Ambulance
Yep, that is right folks, between this weekend and next weekend I get to learn how to drive this giant box full of patients, medical toys, and of course my frightened yet supportive crew down the highway with lights and sirens ablaze.  Ok so maybe it will mostly be me cursing traffic and stuck at the stupid light that won't give me the green arrow, but hey it will still be fun. Hope you all have a fun and safe weekend.  Happy Reading Everybody!
