Did I ever mention that I got my EMT certification????
Couldn't remember if I did and I rarely pop in here these days.
A little update if anyone cares:
First off, we're still not in the house yet. Still painting and remodleing where we can. We had the electric redone, brand new breaker box and mainline from the utility pole into the house. House had substandard electric and we didn't know it until we asked an electrician about putting in a dedicated circuit so my wife could have an electric stove in the kitchen.
That was a shocker... No pun intended, kinda.
Still working on getting a carpenter for a ramp and to widen doors inside the house and MAYBE rebuild the master bathroom so my wife a can have a tub she can use (has CP, can't stand without a walker or a brace of some kind like her husband.... =)
Still in the fire department, had a fire three nights ago at 1:44 in the *%&#^$# morning, spent all night filling air bottles for interior firefighters. Joy...
Oh and the EMT thing, I'm officially an emergency medical technician. Card carrying member and everything.
The coolest part though is I'm certified for CPR with an AED. I'll probably never use that, but I'm cleared for it and personally, I think EVERYONE that can be should be.
I have a Red Cross certification for it, fairly easy to get and AED's are becoming more an more popular in public spaces like schools and such.
Lessee, I'm also a full-time reporter now, with my own desk even. Still do the photo thing when it comes up, mostly for my own stories but not all the time.
Kid turns 6 in about 10 days, yikes!!!
Oh, and I got my insurance changed some, I have prescription coverage now. Yippieee!!!!
Half a month's pay was going to medication, now it won't.
Hope all's well with everyone else, take care, don't be eatin' the yellow snow!!!
