Christmas Eve

Went to bed last night around 02:39 hours and got up this morning around 10:30 hours. I got out of bed and got dressed and then read the paper. I then ate lunch while I played on the PS2 for about an hour. Then around 12:25 hours the pager went off for a sick person in Jackson Township. I got my boots on and got in my car and headed for the "Barn". As I came into the square of Fisherville, Bill called me on the radio and asked me if I wanted him to go on early for me. I asked him if he was going to be ok by himself and he said yes, so I told him that he could go on for me now and that I owed him one. I went into the shed anyway and I logged my time in for the day and then I headed on up to Giant. I had just pulled into the parking lot, when Bill called me on the private and asked me to come out and help with lifting. As I was heading out to Straws Church Road, the pager went off for bleeding in Jackson Township. My dad and Carol took that one. I got to the Straws Church Road call and helped Dohn and Bill with lifting and loading the lady into 13-1. I then got in my car and headed over to the Ridge Road call for the bleeding, because it is a heavy guy that I knew they would need lifting for. Medic 6 had two units there and while I was there, Fisherville showed up with the engine. I was there for abour around 40 minutes and then we all left. I headed back into Giant. I dropped of a perscription at Rite Aid and then ran over to Giant and picked up a few things that my mother asked me to get. I then went back over to Rite Aid anad picked my medication up and then headed on home. Once at home I got changed and watched TV until my father came home and then we ate dinner. My brother showed up just as I finished eating my dinner. After I finished eating dinner, I started getting things together for my trip around as santa on the fire engine. I left the house around 17:15 hours and headed up to the hose house. Once up there I checked the chair our and then Bubba showed up. I then helped him get the chair on top of the engine and then other people showed up. While I was getting changed, they were setting the speakers up on top of the Utility. We left the hose house around 19:00 hours. We first went around Fisherville and then we hit two delvopments off of Tourist Park Road. After that we hit my two devlopments. We then headed on over to Enders and did Enders Grove Road and went around Enders. After that we did the two devlopments off of Miller Road and then we did the two devlopments off of Powells Valley Road. After that they took me up Ridge Road, down Dividing Ridge Road and then on to Jacobs Church Road and we pulled into the church pakring lot and I got down for the last time and got in the engine. We then went to Shell to get gas for the genrators and disel for the engine and utility. While they were getting fuel, I stood along the edge of the road and waved to people passing by. I had two cars stop and I talked to the kids in them. We then headed back to the hose house. Once back there I changed out of my suit and then I headed on home and took a shower. I then headed into church for Christmas Eve services. We got done there around 00:10 hours and I left and headed over to Sue'e house to exchange gifts. I got there and the house was dark, so I called Sue's cell phone and she answered. She then came outside to my car and we exchanged gifts and we talked for a little bit. After that I headed on home. Once at home I had a light snack and am getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be going to bed shortly so I can get up early later on this morning. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas.
