I said it yesterday. Well I didn't say it, but I sure as hell alluded to it... last night was my crew night and you guessed it... So because I am severely lacking in the sleep department, let me give you a rough outline of my evening.
*Get home from work (1), feed dogs, let dogs out, plead with middle "child" not to eat poop anymore, lose argument, try to nap without success, change and head to work (2).
*Arrive at work (2), realize I am on the schedule for Friday despite asking for the day off, whine a little, check schedule for V-day, try to realign my jaw, work a 25 minute, get armpits waxed, get rash from wax IN MY ARMPIT, start 50 minute late because client was late, clean spa, pinch finger in dumpster.
*Try on 23 different pairs of pants at Kohl's, strike out completely, buy candles and socks instead, remember I am on crew and I am in the next town, head home.
*Start making dinner at 9:30, eat dinner on the couch with three cold noses on my lap, throw tennis ball one gazillion times, watch tv too long, go to bed.
*Toss and turn for an hour, finally fall asleep, wake up with bloody nose, get blood all over my arm, the pillow case, the bed, the carpet, the nightstand, sit up in bed wrapped in the blanket trying not to to fall asleep before my nose stops bleeding.
*Wake up to tones, get dressed, realize turnout coat is in the -7 degree car, spit dried blood out, head to station, almost leave without the other EMT, spit dried blood out, wait on scene for 10 minutes for full timers to bring patient down, spit dried blood out, miss the IV, miss the second IV, hate myself, spit dried blood out, go back to station, do paperwork, go home, shower, leave for work.
*Sit in traffic for over 2 hours due to "six car pile-up", laugh at the two vehicles with moderate damage and four with barely cosmetic issues, get in to work late, try to care about being late to work, get coffee, sit at desk staring at blank screen, write blog about nothing interesting.
Isn't my life exciting?
